Skoda launches U.K. special edition Octavia vRS Challenge
07 Feb 2019|4,355 views
Positioned above the standard RS and offered with the brand's acclaimed 2.0 TSI 241bhp engine, the Octavia vRS Challenge combines impressive performance with high equipment levels and an ultra-practical cabin. Available in both hatch and estate forms, the Octavia vRS Challenge is now available to order from Skoda retailers in the U.K.
The vRS Challenge comes complete with a host of striking design features over the standard vRS, including 19-inch Xtreme black alloy wheels, sports exhaust with black trim, black folding, auto-dimming door mirrors and black vRS badging. Inside, over the standard model, the vRS Challenge is fitted with figure-hugging Alcantara vRS seats that are electronically adjustable and heated for the driver and front-seat passenger.
A colour trip computer with lap timer is also fitted as standard, along with keyless entry and start.
The fitment of an electronically regulated VAQ limited-slip differential allows drivers to fully exploit the car's performance - even in challenging conditions. The VAQ limited-slip differential was originally developed for motorsport and works with an electronically regulated multi-plate clutch located between the differential and the powered axle on the right-hand side.
When needed, 100% of the power can be directed to one front wheel. When cornering, the differential transfers an increased amount of engine power to the outer front wheel (wheel with the most grip) as required.
