Skoda adds the high-performance sportster vRS 245 to its Octavia range

The most powerful Skoda Octavia in the company's history is on its way. The new Skoda Octavia vRS 245 delivers 242bhp - 15bhp more than the previous top-of-the-range vRS variant. The powerful engine and innovative chassis technology, including the electronically regulated VAQ limited slip differential, offer the ultimate driving experience.

The compact sports car accelerates from 0-100km/h in just 6.6 seconds (estate: 6.7 seconds); and reaches a top speed limited to 250km/h. As is usual for a Skoda, the car features a spacious interior and luggage compartment. In addition, the latest driver assistance systems are also available for the Skoda Octavia vRS 245.

The new infotainment system means occupants have the opportunity to be online on the move, thanks to the optional Wi-Fi hotspot and LTE module. Numerous 'Simply Clever' features are further testimony to the compact car's practical talents. The powerhouse is available as a hatchback or an estate and will be celebrating its world premiere at the 87^th International Motor Show in Geneva.
