Skoda Octavia RS, a name that brings a smile to enthusiasts' faces and a proud feel to owners who own this badass sedan.

Yes, a modified Skoda Octavia vRS first-gen which used to come with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Simple mechanicals and no technology but just pure bliss of power and performance. This first-gen vRS belongs to Paul and this sedan is clean as a whistle.

The stock vRS used to come with 16-inch wheels in 205/55 R16 alloy wheels but this one is updated. The stock used to cover 0-100 km/h sprint in a matter of 7.9 seconds but we are guessing this lap time is improved with the added power. This FWD car gets a top speed of 235 km/h.
