this is a bit of a random one, did top gear ever do a test on the oct vrs? and if so does anyone know where i can get clip from?

seen the fabia vrs beat the mini but couldnt find anything on oct

cheers:thumbup:

Never seen one...

Dont think the TV programme did, but the Top Gear magazine did a test of the Octy 1 vRS versus an MG ZS and a VW Bora 1.8T and the vRS beat the lot and won the test.I'm sure I've got a copy somewhere in amongst all my Skoda tests!

Has been covered before vRS on Top Gear - BRISKODA - The Skoda Forum and Community

5th gear did a mk2 vRS against a Golf GTi (backwards) LOL Octy wion if I remember rightly, here you go YouTube - Fifth Gear: Volkswagen Golf GTI vs Skoda Octavia vRS

ive looked for a long time as i remember a video of the three (then presenters) in a silver vrs hammering around a track and loving it. very similar to the Puma test they did. still never found it so will be in my memory.

didnt the top gear test car have the 225 engine supposedly though?

the rumour is it was remapped.

Clarkson did a review in The Sunday Times.

Jeremy Clarkson Skoda Octavia VRS review | Driving - Times Online

I have driven the vRS that autocar used for its review, one of the owners was a member here for a while. We put the car on AmDs rolling road and the figures were slightly higher than a non remapped car. Have a look for posts by Freakcrab the then owner of the car (Y91 RVV).

Yeah, it was an odd figure that as it was slightly less than youd expect for a remapped car today, perhaps the maps werent the best back then or it was more conservative.
