Skoda to Challenge the Big Boys at Bonneville Speed Week with 600HP Octavia RS
With the help of the Volkswagen Group, Skoda has turned out to be quite an important player in the automotive industry. The Czech automaker delivered more than 760,000 cars last year and aims to double its annual sales to 1.5 million by 2018. But it�s not only about sales as Skoda�s German parent company is also planning to further boost the Czech brand�s image.
In celebration of the 10 year anniversary of the vRS (in the UK, simply RS for the rest of Europe) performance badge, Skoda will compete in the famous Bonneville Speed Week in August (13-20) with a specially modified Octavia vRS saloon. Skoda�s goal is to break the magic 200mph (320+ km/h) barrier for the first time in the company�s history.
