Skoda fans, this one’s for you!
We’ve got our hands on every generation of Skoda vRS, and they’re all about to go head-to-head in a drag race! That's right, we've got two Fabias, four Octavias, one Kodiaq and one Enyaq for the ultimate Skoda showdown!
We’ve got 8 cars in this line-up, with the most powerful being the new Enyaq vRS. With dual electric motors, this all-electric SUV can produce 299hp and 460Nm. It’s also the heaviest car here, mind, weighing in at 2,178kg.
In contrast, we have Mat in the least powerful car, the Mk1 Fabia vRS. With a 1.9-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel under the bonnet, this mini Fabia can put down 130hp and 310Nm. It’s also pretty light, tipping the scales at 1,315kg.
So how will this play out - will the most powerful Enyaq win it? Or could a Fabia, Octavia or Kodiaq snatch it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

The old 1.9 TDI Fabia RS is always pretty underrated with that torque-strong engine and a 6 speed gearbox in such a small ligthweight car. Most noticeable when you start overtaking other vehicles on country roads, because 130 HP doesn't sound that much, but this little torque rocket just pulls away nicely. My neighbour had one when it came out. He was driving an Audi A6 Allroad 2.5 TDI back then and bought the Fabia RS for his wife, but at the end of the day, he was the one driving the Fabia RS mostly. :D

When the facelift model came out I though it was the most ugliest car since the 2009 E Class. But unlike the E class which I think is still one of the worst looking Mercedes, the Octavia grew on me. After a while I found that the design actually makes sense (unlike the horrible mix of sharp and round elements on the e class). 3 years later i bought one. If it only had 4x4. I miss the quality of the Audi and BMW I had before though. But the Skoda is so spacious, it's amazing what you can stuff into that car.

@@DerSystematiker I agree, I remember when they rolled third generation octavia after facelift and everyone, even here in Mladá Boleslav where it is produced said that car is hideous. The inner part of the headlights with that diagonal line made no sense to me. When Skodas chief designer Kabaň was asked what he thinks of the criticism of the design of the car, he simply replied "They will get used to it". And you know what now like 8 years later or however long it is, I agree, the design really grew on me and I actually kind of like it.

Yes the PD’s are underrated from factory. I had the mk2 fabia 3 1.9 tdi pd 105 bhp and on the dyno it put out 115bhp before it got mapped, it did go to 160bhp on the dyno but the mapping guy took it down to 145 because the veins on the turbo was sticking! I’m on my 2nd mk2 fabia Vrs 1.4 atm but really wanna find a low mileage mk1 Vrs with low miles but they are going up in price like crazy. 7-8k for a 60-70k example lol

They were overrated warm hatches. They felt quick because they were punchy but even modified were still easily easily dropped by Clio Sports, Civics, GTIs (insert any early 2000s hot hatch) and looked ridiculous with all that smoke pouring out the back under acceleration. They were cheap though.

yeah, the power of a combus...., of a gearbox vs a single speed EV. Besides, the enyaq has a top speed limited to 180km/h. And no, it is not because it is an EV. The M3SR+ with less power and smaller battery than the enyaq has a top speed of 225km/h and does a quarter mile in 13.8s
