New Octavia ....when? How Much?

[Tiggy1]

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

Would be nice, but what's the chances of us getting it in Oz when they seem to be having such difficulty keeping up with demand for regular RS?

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?

contisportcontact 5s.
maybe its the dsg transmission? it gets out of 1st gear as soon as possible.
with launch control, I clock in the 5.8 to 5.9 secs. this was done on contisportcontact 2s.

I haven't timed it again since getting the dsg performance tune. might have a go again in these near freezing temps in Canberra

Hmmmm well its not tyres then as that's the same tyres I have. Must be the eibachs then.

Noticed a bunch of MY15 RS' (TSI only in this list) got loaded on boats on their way to Aus. Can't verify what options they have though. Anyone got info from their dealers?



Edit: My bad, the 30th June ones are all headed for Auckland

Trending upwards. A blip or a sign of 4-500 sales regularly going forward?

brenno do you know if these numbers are of delivered vehicles or is it registered vehicles (which includes demos)?

I'm guessing it doesn't take into account all the forward orders of RS with black pack...

If it's vehicle registrations it's clearly going to be limited by the number of vehicles available in the country.

Anyway good to see the numbers going up and hopefully they can match the stock levels with the demand to get more Skodas out on the road.

[brenno]

It would be registered vehicles, including demos and the influx of facelifted Superbs about to be released. Anyone who was forced to submit a factory order when the Octavia was released back in November/December would now be taking delivery of their vehicles - which is why I'm surprised the figure was so low.

It isn't far off their June 2013 figure.
