I think in these pages there have been far more 'tuned' vehicles, but is really nice to see effort dedicated to an outgoing model! 🤩

Some sort of Stage II car? Opinions, what you think?

A pal from italy mentioned why not slap the 2.5 and DSG from the RS3 instead .... I reply: "not for the czech poor brother of the family, of course" 😁

a guy in the Netherlands has done that already - RS3 engine and gearbox in his mk3 Superb.

look for him on insta - superb_vrs3

 

although the engine blew recently, which he is currently in the process of being rebuilt.

 

I’m missing the point a little but I adore the colour.

But u don't have an RS3 engine......

@leolito I don't see the relationship between the Skoda Superb and "Gloria Mundi's van has broken down"?

Neither has this one! 

Paws, I was using the expression in its non-literal "epitaph" variation, as is a reminder of greater things that has passed. 

I hope the IV will have its place as a performance vehicle as well, but I doubt it ... times are changing.

I never said it did. 😉

I was simply responding to this line "A pal from italy mentioned why not slap the 2.5 and DSG from the RS3 instead ...."

Someone at Skoda or VW just thought the Superb Sleeper Edition would catch the medias attention.

That worked. No car on sale.

This is not an RS3 engine swap, its forged 2.0 engine.

Sorry, you are correct, i misunderstood what the engine builder said. 

 

 

This one is an RS3 + DQ500 Engine swap... 😁

Just Insane! Could be Jeremy Clarkson approved! 😄

The engine failed on that and is currently getting rebuilt.

It seems it confirms what I was saying... Jeremy Clarkson / Top Gear approved... 🤣

 

 

I did say earlier it was slow! 🤣

There will be the 265PS engine in the Superb as the flagship. Sad to see that it no longer has the Golf R engine.
