Nice...

I don't suppose Skoda will start offering the modified VRs for sale will they?

I bet someone on here could better lol

well what do you need for 400bhp?

400BHP? That would wipe the floor with my boss's S4

well what do you need for 400bhp?

not that much, big turbo kit, intake, exhaust, intercooler, uprated clutch and a custom map!

Meh, I'd take it

Meh, I'd take it

You would indeed, Harry

not that much, big turbo kit, intake, exhaust, intercooler, uprated clutch and a custom map!

May I suggest a brake upgrade to go with that

In all seriousness, it's nice to seem them doing something a little bit potty like this. They could have just stuck a crappy badge and a wheel upgrade on a hundred cars and called it a limited edition......

A few months ago someone posted a link to a Greek Octavia apparently pumping out 500bhp with four wheel drive although there wasn't much detail on the modifications to get the power up to that level from what I recall.

You're right John. Apparently it was running Quattro off an 8P S3. I'd love to know more about how this was achieved.

Didnt JBS make a 600bhp octy vrs a few years ago?

There is a Finnish bloke apparently getting 550 BHP out of a MB 606 diesel, all 2.5 litres of it.

So whats special about 400BHP outta an ould (=new) petrol

Sniff!

Have you seen what Ben can do with the diesel version

They could have just stuck a crappy badge and a wheel upgrade on a hundred cars and called it a limited edition......

That's next...

I would imagine for this exercise, having custom long gearing is more essential than having mega power? They are geared for 160mph odd as stock I think, so with 200 or 400 its just a matter of how quickly it gets there. I bet they have thought about the gearing already though.

At the end of the day it will all be down to aerodamics....
