Germans are good for modification and we are not talking cosmetically but under the hood as well. Or equipping them with aftermarket performance-oriented stuff. This time around we have with us the modified 2020 Skoda Rapid 1.0L TSI.

Let's talk about the performance of the Skoda Rapid then it gets a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine under the hood. This engine makes as much as 109 bhp at 5,000 rpm and a peak torque of 175 Nm at 1,750 rpm. This engine is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and an optional 6-speed torque converter.

Now, sharing the details of the mod then it gets body kit and side skirting which enhances the look. All of them gets custom white paint job to match to the original shade of the sedan. To further improve the styling, this one also gets Eibach lowering springs with 30 mm of drop. We now wonder what will happen to the underbody if a rough patch of road comes in the way.
The front profile retains the halogen headlights and fog lights with the original grille design. Maybe in future, the owner decides to install aftermarket projector headlights. Coming to the side profile, it gets 17-inch aftermarket alloy wheels wrapped in 215/4517 rubber.
This modified 2020 Skoda Rapid 1.0L TSI also gets a Valvetronic exhaust which is expected to increase the power output by a margin. Installing aftermarket exhaust also gives music to the car eyes and it depends on the customer as to how much sound output they are wanting from their car.

At the rear, you will also notice the diffuser which is inspired by the Rapid Monte Carlo edition. This particular addition brings a sporty appeal to this particular variant. Do notice the black roof wrap but we are not sure whether it is from the aftermarket or from the dealership.
