Under the hood of the Skoda Octavia RS 245 sits a 2.0L TSI engine that makes a top power of 245PS and 370Nm of torque. The sportier sedan can be had with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It will come with FWD (front-wheel-drive) system. The vehicle is capable to do 0 to 100kmph in 6.6 seconds, thus making it 0.2 seconds faster than the RS 230.
The performance sedan also gets a limited slip differential that ensures equal torque distribution to both wheels while driving straight. When the wheel spins due to loss of traction, it automatically delivers more power to the wheel that has traction. It also prevents wear and tear of the tyres. The sedan offers a top speed of 250kmph. Read – 5 New Skoda Cars To Launch In 2020
