New Octavia ....when? How Much?

[dArK5HaD0w]

Octavia RS Plus (to celebrate 40 yrs for the RS brand) spied......

key points:-
- larger front air intakes
- larger brake discs
- quad exhaust system
- 206kW/380Nm, as used in the R and S3

It would most certainly at least want the mechancial LSD, otherwise 206kW going through the front wheels will be a waste IMO.

Hope it gets 4wd

The Seat version - FWD R engine - that held the ring record for a while had the PP LSD. Also has the adaptive suspension.

I hope the Skoda gets those goodies too.

Spoke with the dealer today, he should get back to me by the end of the week. Apparently has had many many deliveries last week (over 20) so should see more on the road. I'll get one of two things. Either it has a confirmed build date, or ill get the sunroof added. Either way i'm happy so I cant really complain. Just wish I could get the roof added, then get the build date confirmed a week later or something!

You shouldn't have a problem with changing your order, I changed mine about a month ago (only a small change to colour maxidot) but it was no problems and got a build week of second week in July

When did you order? Dealer still had no build date when I spoke to him today

i got no issues putting 220 odd kW through my front wheels........

But yes...a mechanical or trick diff will certainly help tame the power.

I was start of may so surely close to a confirmed build week. All the more reason to hurry the dealer up and make sure I get the roof!

I'm still blown away by this. I'm running 190kW and struggle for no axle tramp past about 4500rpm in 1st.

Particularly with all this cold weather we've been having. Engine loves it but the cooler tyre temps are no good for axle tramping!!!

What tyres are you running DS?
