The What Car Geneva show artical has this to say under Skoda;

'Best bit of Skoda gossip?

The Czechs have had to postpone go-faster vRS versions of the Octavia while they fast-track development of more important new models, such as the Yeti and new Fabia supermini due next year.'

I hope it is wrong.

I reckon that's nonsense and definately just gossip.

I reckon the vRS has been ready to go since the golf gti was launched.VW not wanting everyone to buy the skoda over their precious( but yummy) baby.

For goodness sake they have the engine and car.Can't take that much to fit them together

I don't normally reply to rumours, but I will to this because I heard some 'news' earlier this week that concurs with lozgti.

I was told by a VAG employee who works at their HQ here in Milton Keynes that the Top Brass there are already driving around MK and surrounding area in unbadged vRS's (he said three or four are there) with a launch due this autumn. Of course until Skoda announce it, it's all hearsay but I personally believe what I was told. My local dealer says the same for launch time with prices between

to be honest, surely someone would have spoted the car if people were driving them!

surely they look quite different from an ordinary octy II. at least i hope so;)

Not really, it's not that hard to take off spoilers and badges, change wheels etc. Unless you look really close you would write it off as just another new Octy.

Of course the ultimate Q car had to be the original Land Rover Freelander Mules, they had the bodies off a Maestro van

Versions?

I.e., a petrol and a diesel?

The new Leon will have the 2.0T FSI too, but will they have an FR version from the start?

Hmmmmmm. The fact is there just aren't enough facts!

If it's going to be that price, there's a lot of other cars you could consider for the money. Saab are to launch a high performance V6 turbo engine 250bhp for

I'll keep my eyes open as I work on the same estate as VAG - saw a few Octy estates before the official launch, but no vRS / up spec Octy's - I would have noticed !

After the sucess of the fabia vRS - it may be possible that Skoda would make the Octavia vRS a diesel also - possibly using the new 168bhp Diesel engine

I've heard from a good source today that the new vRS is to be unveiled at the Frankfurt show later this year.

I've got a mate who works with a guy that knows this bloke who used to visit an elderly gent who was married to a lady that once typed a memo from the man that emptied the bins at the house of the boss of the company that supplied the temporary staff who worked at the office where the computers were maintained which held all the information on the productivity of the rumour mill at Skoda UK.

My mate says he hasn't heard anything about the New Octy Vrs, just like everyone else. He also says the moon is made of cheese.

I'd better start taking my camera to work with me in MK, in case I see the much-rumoured 3.2 V6 DSG 4x4 vRS Octavia estate,Fabia 2.0FSi Turbo 4x4 and the Superb fitted with the new 3.0 V6 Audi diesel

It's so frustrating not knowing!!!

I want a Skoda II VRS with the 2.0FSI turbo engine.

I do not want a Golf GTi or a Saab.

Come on Skoda - get it together and give us what we want!!

Just heard a rumour that Octy RS II is already included to the latest revision of ETKA?

:confused:

What is ETKA?

It was in Top Gear Mag other month marked down as arriving Dec this year.

Just heard a rumour that Octy RS II is already included to the latest revision of ETKA?

:confused:

Really? I must check it out...

Any luck?

If so, could you print some vital specs like "Better brakes than @ V GTI, more power, 4x4".

Oh well, must stop dreaming.

It's 2.0T thats for sure and boring front wheel driven machine. Don't know if I want another (front)wheel spinner (after the vRS 1), the winter time last ~6 months here.
