Gut builds the world's first Skoda Superb RS

When the factory doesn't, you have to do it yourself

And a guy from Taiwan, of all places, has done it. Okay, admittedly this is not a Superb RS. Such a one does not exist at all. Because Skoda believes that the smaller Octavia is enough of an RS model. So this conversion is probably the closest we'll get to a Superb RS. Although this is only a Superb 2.0 TSI in sportline trim. Such one has four-wheel drive, double clutch and 280 horsepower and 350 newton meters ex factory. But this Superb seems to offer something more. READ ALSO: Five cool prototypes that never came to fruition In any case, an APR race exhaust has been fitted, and the APR magic continues all the way into the engine compartment, which suggests that this could mean a stage 2 optimization of the two- liters of gasoline. Then we would like to be around the 320 to 350 hp. The color of the car is not, as you might think, the popular Audi paint Nardo grey. Steel Gray is a non-metallic color for which Skoda has offered its RS models, including the previous Octavia RS. Back to the Superb though. Because it is packed with carbon fiber – inside and out. Especially in the cabin, where we might have just considered covering the sports steering wheel an extra time. Carbon fiber is nice, mee… The shifter itself for the DSG gear seems to have been taken from an Audi RS model. Things have been thought through, one must say.
