The Volkswagen Group brand #Skoda has acquired a highly sporty image with its RS models. These are particularly popular for the bestselling Octavia, where, for gasoline engines, the RS code represents the 2.0 TSI with 245 HP (180 kW). "Our auxiliary ABT Engine Control unit adds an extra 45 HP to the already quite potent Octavia," explains CEO Hans-Jürgen Abt: "This allows it to stand up even to much larger vehicles on the freeway." The ABT Power boost therefore delivers an impressive 290 HP (213 kW). At the same time, the maximum torque is increased from 370 Nm to 410 Nm. But with the world's largest tuner for vehicles from the Volkswagen and Audi Group, driving pleasure starts at an even lower level. The catalog for the current #Skoda Octavia (5E07) also offers ABT Power for the 1.4 TSI, 1.8 TSI and 2.0 TDI. The strongest diesel with 184 HP (135 kW), which is also available as an RS model, receives an increase to an impressive 210 HP (154 kW). The maximum torque increases from 380 Nm to 420 Nm, making the diesel even stronger than the gasoline RS model in this respect.
