200mph Skoda: driver's view - Telegraph



""Octavia's motor has been boosted to produce the best part of 600bhp, some three times the standard power output. To give the Octavia the reach it needs to hit 200mph the standard gearbox was replaced with the longer-legged transmission from the economy-biased Octavia Greenline. Other modifications were limited to competition suspension, narrower wheels fitted with special Bonneville-spec Goodyear tyres and a parachute on the rear bumper to help slow the car after each run.""

"Just to keep you updated, the Skoda team broke the existing record with a run of 227mph on the salt. Richard wearing his 200mph club cap for the rest of eternity "
