Buying a new Skoda Octavia RS means that usually
you'll have to make do with 230 PS and 350 Nm of torque. Of
course, there's a new 245 PS version out as well, but ABT Sportsline
chose the former to equip it with a new engine control module.
After fiddling with the compact family estate, the
tuner says that the 2.0-liter TSI benefits from a 37 percent increase in
horsepower, which now stands at 315 PS and 450 Nm of torque.
That won't help you break any speed records, but it should make the occasional
trip to the supermarket more pleasant, not to mention the daily commute.
To further improve the car, ABT has also installed
its own suspension springs, which bring it 20 mm closer to the ground,
thus improving its cornering abilities, and making it look sportier.
There is also a set of aftermarket wheels that
contributes to its new stance, 8.5x19-inch in size, wrapped in 225/35
high-performance tires. Rounding up the list of features offered by ABT is a
special floor mat set.
