The Octavia is Skoda’s most popular model, and has been in the UK since 1998 – with the fourth generation joining us in 2020. The car was an early success with customers who appreciated its sturdiness and value for money.
The vRS version was introduced in Gen 1 – it stands for ‘victory racing sport’. The ‘V’ had to be added in Ireland and the UK because of Ford’s established use of the ‘RS’ marque for its performance models. It follows a simple recipe: take the spacious Octavia and put the range’s most powerful engine in it, tweak the suspension to deal with the extra speed, and the vRS is born.
The vRS is always of a top-level spec and the quickest in the range. The Generation 3 version uses a 245 bhp petrol engine with a top speed of 155mph and 0-62 in 6.7secs. Both body variants of the vRS became popular with services in the UK; as a police car, a rapid response vehicle for medics, and as an unmarked traffic car because of its discreet styling.
