15 YEARS OF ŠKODA VRS

Introduction

ŠKODA’s rich sporting and performance history reaches a historic milestone in 2016 with the 15th anniversary of the vRS brand in the UK. Since the first Octavia vRS arrived in showrooms back in 2001, ŠKODA has continually developed the vRS brand – adding more power, performance and excitement to cars wearing the famous three letter badge.

The Mk1 Octavia vRS was the first modern-era ŠKODA to enter the fiercely competitive performance car market – perfectly showcasing the brand’s optimism, confidence and engineering skills. Powered by a 180PS, 1.8-litre turbocharged petrol engine, the Mk1 Octavia vRS delivered numerous firsts for the brand. Not only was it the most powerful production ŠKODA ever produced, it was also the fastest and most expensive with a UK price tag of £15,535.

The first-generation Octavia vRS proved an instant hit with buyers and the world’s motoring media. While it broke a price barrier for the brand, its high equipment levels meant that no rival could match the Octavia vRS for sheer value and entertainment.

ŠKODA’s passion for ripping up the performance car rulebook took another leap forward in 2003 with the introduction of the Fabia vRS. Powered by a 1.9-litre, 130PS turbodiesel engine, the Fabia defied convention and proved that flexibility and a colossal torque output (310Nm) was more than a match for a peaky, high-revving petrol engine. The fact that it returned up to 53.3mpg and came loaded with standard equipment made it one of the most competitive and engaging packages in the sector.

With both first-generation vRS models proving a huge hit with buyers, ŠKODA packed more power, excitement and value into their replacements. The Mk2 Fabia vRS (2010-2013) offered more innovation in the form of a twin-charged 180PS 1.4-litre TSI engine and paddle-shift DSG transmission, while the second generation Octavia vRS (2005-2013) came with an estate variant and, for the first time, a 170PS diesel option.

To showcase the remarkable performance potential of the Octavia vRS, and celebrate the tenth anniversary of the vRS badge in the UK, ŠKODA UK made headlines around the world in 2011 when it attempted to break a land speed record at the famous Bonneville salt flats in the USA.

Built from a standard petrol-powered Octavia vRS by a team of ŠKODA UK engineers, the Bonneville special smashed the previous record for a 2.0-litre forced induction production car. At 07:45 on Friday 19 August, it registered an official record speed of 227.080mph – a record that still stands today.

2013 saw ŠKODA refocus its vRS line-up – opting to build a broader Octavia vRS line-up with greater options for buyers. As a result, the third-generation Octavia vRS has the largest range ever with three engine options, two body styles and the option of four-wheel drive. Petrol versions are powered by a 2.0 TSI engine available with outputs of 220PS and 230PS, while diesel variants feature a 2.0 TDI with an output of 184PS. Paddle-shift DSG transmissions are available across the vRS range, while the diesel variant can be specified with ŠKODA’s advanced all-wheel system.

Although the vRS badge is celebrating its 15th year in the UK, ŠKODA’s sporting and performance car heritage dates back to the days before founders Vaclav Laurin and Vaclav Klement even started work on their first car.

15 YEARS OF ŠKODA VRS

Although neither were convinced of the benefits of building sporting versions of their bicycles and motorbikes and were even less thrilled by the idea of competition, a series of famous racing victories led to full order books and global recognition. While Vaclav Laurin still considered sport to be ‘costly puffery’, the achievements of their products set L&K, and what would become ŠKODA, onto a course that would deliver some of the most engaging and successful road and competition cars of their era.

And while the brand has been through tough times, its dogged determination and passion for driving excitement has always shone through. The brand’s first road-going performance car – the 1937 Popular Sport Monte Carlo – set a template for affordable but exquisitely engineered fun. Advanced prototypes such as the 1974 180RS and 200RS kept the spirit of performance alive during difficult times for the brand, and provided ŠKODA with countless race wins and championship titles in both circuit racing and rallying.

Today, ŠKODA’s love of performance is stronger than ever. In addition to the growing range of vRS models, the brand continues as a force to be reckoned with in motorsport. The Fabia S2000 was the most successful rally car in its class – taking more than 65 European and International rally wins – while the current Fabia R5 is proving equally dominant in world rallying’s WRC2 category.

VRS ICONS L&K Motorcycles 1901-1906 VRS PASSION BEGINS: FROM BICYCLES TO VICTORIOUS MOTORCYCLE RACERS

ŠKODA’s passion for performance can be traced back to the brand’s earliest days when founders Vaclav Laurin and Vaclav Klement capitalised on the public’s hunger for endurance cycle racing. However, Neither founder had much of a passion for sport, and during the early years of bicycle production, proudly dismissed it as ‘costly puffery’ that detracted from the serious business of building the world’s greatest bicycles. Laurin wanted wealthy doctors, judges and politicians to buy and ride his creations, not oily-faced racers.

In truth, the brand simply couldn’t afford the luxury of running a cycling team – just funding the production run of its standard range proved enough of a struggle in the early years.

Realising the potential of a much bigger market, the pair invested heavily in the design and development of a motorcycle range. However, the idea was slow to catch on with buyers and Laurin and Klement soon realised that it would need to prove the performance, quality and durability of its products on the broadest possible stage. And that meant going racing…

With fearless Czech rider Narcis Podsedníček onboard, a specially built L&K motorcycle entered the 1901 Paris-Berlin race — a distance of 750 miles. Unable to compete with their rivals in terms of budget, Laurin could barely Narcis Podsedníček: L&K’s first official factory rider and unofficial winner of the 1901 Paris-Berlin race afford tyres for his bike and even considered withdrawing the entry having witnessed the well-funded opposition at the start line in Paris.

Remarkably, Podsedníček proved that innovation and clever engineering were more valuable commodities than budget, and soon found himself heading towards the Berlin finish with a comfortable lead. Such was his speed that the timekeepers weren’t able to keep up - setting up the finish line hours after Podsedníček had arrived in Berlin in the belief that nobody could have reached the finish any earlier. As a result, his finish was never officially recognised and the team returned to the factory with just the moral victory.

HEROES VACLAV VONDRICH OF VRS Moustachioed hero who rode for his train fare home

Having started racing while still at school, Vondrich became the first L&K factory rider to be hired to ride for the brand. A skilled racer and talented engineer, Vondrich started out as an L&K customer – buying roadgoing motorcycles and turning them into racing machines.

The terms of his factory contract were a world away from the multi-million pound deals of today. In return for risking life and limb on one of their motorbikes, Laurin and Klement gave Vondrich a third-class rail ticket, a daily allowance of 10 Czech crowns (around 30 pence) and 20 crowns (60p) start money for each race he was entered for. A bonus of up to 200 crowns (£5) was payable for any race wins.

Fortunately for Vondrich and his bank account, the L&K bikes he rode were easily the class of the field, coasting to countless victories. He became a Czechoslovakian hero and a close personal friend of Vaclav Klement who rewarded Vondrich with a senior position in the firm after retiring from racing. He died in February 1943, aged 69.

VRS ICONS L&K FCR and FCS 1909 ON FOUR WHEELS - SUCCESS AT EVERY LEVEL

The early 1900s were exciting ones for Laurin and Klement. Having successfully floated their company and gained much-needed investment, the pair accelerated their car production plans. As part of their expansion, the pair hired Otto Hieronimus – a design genius and passionate racer. Although he was only 28 years old, he persuaded Laurin and Klement that a racing programme was essential, and set about building a makeshift competition department. By 1909, the factory had created three racers: the FC, FCS and FCR - all of which were based on L&K’s ‘F’ chassis.

The 1908 FC featured a 2.4-litre, four-cylinder side valve engine, while the FCS took the development even further with an overhead valve system and capacity options of 1,994, 2,439, 2,940 or 3,486cc. The 1909 FCR – of which only two were built – represented an even more extreme evolution thanks to its 5.7-litre engine and streamlined bodywork that earned itself the dubious nickname; ‘The Coffin’.

Laurin and Klement vehicles celebrated their first race victories in the Zbraslav- Jíloviště hillclimb race in March 1908, where the brand won six categories and finished second in five other classes and third in yet another one.

Although the madcap FCR continued the winning trend, the sport was rapidly becoming a victim of its own success. With few organising bodies in existence, every event had a different set of rules, many of which were influenced by The 5.7-litre FCR – dubbed ‘The Coffin’ manufacturers looking to score victories for their particular product. What’s pictured in front of an L&K showroom more, machines like the FCR had almost nothing in common with Laurin and in Mladá Boleslav Klement’s roadgoing models – limiting the marketing potential significantly.

Despite this, Laurin and Klement continued their motorsport programme, focusing on hillclimbs and longer, pan-European tours that put an emphasis on reliability and endurance. Campaigning the formidable FCR, Hieronimous and Count Alexander Kolowrat regularly topped the time charts, setting new speed records on virtually every race they entered.

13 HEROES COUNT ALEXANDER KOLOWRAT OF VRS Aristocratic racer who steered the brand to a sporting future

Endearingly nicknamed ‘Count Kilowatt’ for his energetic personality, Kolowrat was instrumental in L&K’s first forays into the world of motorsport. A spectacularly quick rider and driver, Kolowrat entered his first races under a pseudonym to detract attention from his title, but reverted to his real name when he caught the attention of Laurin and Klement.

An Alpine Rally specialist, Kolowrat took L&K cars to victory in 1910, 1912, 1913 and 1914 – providing the brand with positive coverage and exposure all over the world.

At the age of just 24, Kolowrat became a member of the then ten-member Board of Directors for Laurin and Klement in Mladá Boleslav and was paid handsomely for his ability behind the wheel. Working alongside fellow racer and L&K employee Otto Hieronimus, he masterminded L&K’s motorsport programme – persuading the founders to increase their commitment to performance and racing.

Kolowrat retained his stake in the company even after World War One. However, following his marriage to Russian Princess Sophia Trubetskaya, he abandoned his racing career and dedicated his professional life to cinematography, working with legendary film stars including Marlene Dietrich.

VRS ICONS Popular Sport Monte Carlo 1936 SETTING THE TEMPLATE FOR A FUTURE GENERATION OF SPORTING ŠKODAS

Recapturing the spirit of success that Laurin and Klement had enjoyed before the outbreak of World War One was no easy task. The hostilities curtailed all-but essential production up to the early 1920s, and while the racing world soon bounced back after the war ended in 1918 – there was little appetite or budget for more competition at Mladá Boleslav – and factory efforts were few and far between.

Indeed, it wasn’t until the mid 1930s that Laurin and Klement actively renewed their passion for performance and sport. Following the 1925 merger with Pizen Skodovka, the newly-created ŠKODA Auto company set about rebuilding its range from a completely redeveloped Mladá Boleslav.

Key to brand’s resurgence – and return to the sporting arena – was the Popular. Groundbreaking at the time, it pioneered a host of design and engineering features, including a strong backbone tube chassis that gave it exceptional rigidity and low weight (650kg). The Popular transformed ŠKODA’s fortunes and showed that the future of the brand lay with beautifully engineered small cars rather than ostentatious large ones.

The Popular’s affordability persuaded factory management to return to the world of performance and motorsport. In 1936, ŠKODA entered ŠKODA’s engineering skills made the Popular the Monte Carlo Rally with a Popular – modified with 1.4-litre engine a strong, reliable and fast package.

Pohl and Jaroslav Hausman steered their Popular to a remarkable second place in class – a result that made headlines around the world.

To celebrate, the brand introduced a range of special editions badged ŠKODA Popular Sport Monte Carlo. In total, 70 examples were built between 1936 and 1938 in roadster and coupé forms. Forerunners of today’s vRS-badged models, they gave buyers the opportunity to sample motorsport-derived features in road car form.

Thanks to its giant-killing performances, the Popular quickly became the best-selling car in Czechoslovakia. From 1934 to 1946, ŠKODA sold more than 20,000 Popular models, of which a remarkable 6,000 units were exported to 50 other countries within Europe and further afield, including China and India, as well as several African and South American countries. One major reason for the Popular’s great appeal was its superior reliability. This was proved numerous times in the late 1930s thanks to a series of high-profile long distance drives that saw owners tackle arduous journeys with the backing, encouragement and marketing clout of the factory.

Then, just as ŠKODA was beginning to emerge as Eastern Europe’s biggest and most innovative car brand, war intervened yet again. This time, however, the brand’s road to recovery would be The taste of victory. ŠKODA’s giant-killing act on significantly longer… the 1936 Monte Carlo rally made headlines around the world.

VRS ICONS 966 Supersport 1950 INNOVATIVE RACER THAT SHOWCASED ŠKODA’S ENGINEERING GENIUS

Having completely rebuilt the Mladá Boleslav factory and restarted car production from scratch, ŠKODA was in no position to embark on a motorsport programme in the mid 1940s. With the firm now completely under communist government control, ŠKODA was no longer calling the shots when it came to sporting activities.

By 1949, however, ŠKODA’s recovery was in full swing. Output from the factory was becoming stronger and a small competition department was allowed to start work on a limited programme. Although deprived of budget and resources, ŠKODA’s engineers quickly worked up a plan to build a powerful lightweight supersport model based on existing components. Using a modified 1101 Tudor chassis, ŠKODA built a 1101 Roadster for the 1950 Le Mans 24hr race. Despite leading their class after 12 hours, engine failure late in the race cruelly deprived the brand of a landmark result.

However, the Le Mans performance gave ŠKODA a renewed passion for competition, and the factory quickly turned its attentions to building a new racer. The end result was the 966 Supersport – an ingenious car that combined the chassis of a standard Tudor, modified overhead valve engines and a distinctive cigar-shaped aluminium body. Built to be entirely road legal, it featured removable headlights and mudguards that owners could unbolt when at the track and then Although based on the chassis of the utilitarian reattach when back on the road. Two engine options were offered: a Tudor saloon and powered by a 1.1-litre engine, the 1.1-litre normally aspirated unit, and a 1.5-litre supercharged unit. 966 proved quick enough to take on the best in the 1950 Czech Grand Prix

The 966 Supersport made its debut at the Grand Prix of Czechoslovakia on 24 September 1950 and took factory driver Miroslav Fousek to second place in the 1100cc category.

Over the course of the following year, ŠKODA worked hard to improve performance. The 1.1-litre version gained an aluminium cylinder head with hemispherical combustion chamber and twin carburettors, while the supercharged variant gained a second compressor to boost power output still further. Thanks to the updates, the new 1.2-litre version produced 90PS while the supercharged unit had an output of 180PS – a figure that made it the most powerful ŠKODA ever built. Due to the considerable number of pipes in the engine compartment, The light fantastic: later supercharged versions of the supercharged version was also known as ‘the gasworks’ among the 966 Supersport generated 180PS – enough to mechanics and owners. secure ŠKODA a new land speed record in 1952

With rivals building ever quicker cars, ŠKODA introduced another round of engineering updates for the 1953 season. A condenser was placed in front of the compressor to improve the cooling of the supercharged version while the aerodynamics were improved by the lowering of the radiator grille and making the intake grille more oval. In the autumn of 1953, Václav Bobek achieved a new speed record of 122.9mph in the twin supercharged version, making the ŠKODA 966 Supersport the fastest car in Czechoslovakia at that time.

Keen to build on the competition success of its rear-drive platform, ŠKODA seized the opportunity to develop a high performance version of its sleek 120R Coupe that had joined the road car line-up four years earlier.

Although the motorsport division was still something of an ‘after-hours’ operation with even senior members of the team having to work on the road car production lines when demand was high, the 180RS and 200RS prototypes were incredibly advanced machines. Designed and built in just six months, both models were based on heavily modified 120R Coupe shells. To improve aerodynamics and lower the centre of gravity, the roofline was chopped by 75mm while the body was reduced in height by a further 50mm. The result was a strikingly sleek package that perfectly showcased ŠKODA’s design and engineering skills.

While ŠKODA had previously competed in small engine capacity classes, the 180RS and 200RS represented a huge step forward in terms of power and performance. The 180RS was powered by a 1,771cc, four-cylinder engine that produced around 155PS, while the 200RS featured a 1,997cc unit that produced around 163PS. Both tipped the scales at a measly 850kg – further boosting their power to weight ratios. According to early factory tests, the 200RS could easily sprint to a top speed of 130mph – a figure more than high enough to see off the competition. Wild thing: ŠKODA’s 180RS and 200RS And it wasn’t just the engines that made the 180RS and 200RS models models showcased Mladá Boleslav’s something special.

into ŠKODA’s roadgoing models), along with an advanced five-speed transmission developed and supplied by Porsche.

Both models made their official debut at the Barum Rally in Czech Republic in June 1974 when ŠKODA entered two 200RS models and a 180RS. And while their first appearance didn’t go exactly to plan with all three cars retiring before the end, it wasn’t long before the ŠKODA RS prototypes started to rack up impressive results.

Designed to compete within the FIA’s Group 5 classification - which had no minimum production run requirement for homologation - ŠKODA’s plan to further develop the 180RS and 200RS was derailed when the category was outlawed in 1975. The FIA decreed that rallying should have its own categories and focus more on production based models – a decision it would reverse seven years later with the introduction of Group B.

Despite the blow, the RS project had provided ŠKODA’s competition department with a huge amount of knowledge and experience – along with a string of race, rally and championship wins. By mid-1975, much of this had been distilled into the less striking but equally capable 130RS. And although it took another year before ŠKODA was able to gain homologation for its latest firebrand, the 130RS would go on to become one of the most decorated competition cars of its era… Fire-breathing 2.0-litre engine ensured savage performance to anyone brave enough to take the wheel. Chopped-down, ultra lightweight body looked the part and kept the centre of gravity low

27 In the modern era of superstar racing and rally drivers, John Haugland would undoubtedly be one of motorsport’s most recognised and revered talents. The Norwegian first sat behind the wheel of a ŠKODA at the age of ten and honed his car control skills on the forest tracks of his homeland.

Years later, a chance meeting with Norway’s ŠKODA importer led to an introduction to the factory team in Mladá Boleslav who gave the youngster the chance to join the works team.

Put simply, nobody could drive a ŠKODA like John Haugland. It wasn’t just raw speed that marked him apart. Having learned at an early age that hard driving usually resulted in time-consuming repair jobs (often with a shortage of spares), Haugland perfected a smooth style that was easy on the car yet brutally fast.

Having headlined ŠKODA’s works efforts through the late HEROES 1960s, Haugland briefly left the team in the 1970s - lured OF by the prospect of more power and the chance to drive VRS something different.

Yet despite achieving success with the likes of Leyland and Datsun, his heart never left Mladá Boleslav and he returned JOHN HAUGLAND to the marque in 1978. During his 20 year ŠKODA career, he scored more than 100 class wins, including 17 consecutive Norwegian driving legend who became class victories on the RAC rally. ŠKODA’s most successful rally driver Today, Haugland runs a highly successful winter rally school in Norway. His students include former world rally champions Richard Burns and Petter Solberg.

VRS ICONS 130RS 1975 THE FIRST ROAD-GOING ŠKODA RS - STARTING A PASSION FOR PERFORMANCE THAT CONTINUES TO THIS DAY

The 130RS occupies a very special place in ŠKODA’s sporting history. Based on the platform of the simple rear-engined 110R, the 130RS became the brand’s most successful competition car ever. Developed using ideas and engineering features introduced on the brand’s 180RS and 200RS competition prototypes, the 130RS brought ŠKODA back to the small capacity classes and forged a strong link between the brand’s competition activity and its road car range.

A true lightweight, the ŠKODA 130 RS tipped the scales at only 720kg and had a power output of 140PS. As a result, the 130RS enjoyed a higher power to weight ratio (194PS/tonne) than the current Octavia vRS 220PS (160PS/tonne).

To help achieve its lightweight frame, the roof, bonnet and the outer shell of the doors were formed from aluminium while the wings and engine cover were made from fibreglass. At the front, the 130RS used the front axle from the 200RS, while the trailing arm rear axle was designed from scratch.

Despite its modest capacity – just 1,289cc – the 130RS packed a mighty punch. With overhead valve control, twin Weber carburettors and dry sump lubrication, the 130RS was loaded with competition-derived technology. The specification also included an aluminium cylinder and crankcase that delivered further weight savings. Initially offered with a five-speed transmission, later versions were equipped with a four-speed unit following a change in regulations. The car that started the RS legacy. 130RS The 130RS was a star almost immediately. Despite an agonising 12 month was light and simple yet devastatingly wait for homologation formalities to be completed by the factory and the effective in the right hands FIA, the 130RS’s light weight, punchy engine and agile handling made it the perfect race and rally car. Even before it could officially compete on international events, factory-entered 130RSs took first, second and third on the Czechoslovakian Peace and Friendship Cup rally of 1975.

Once officially homologated in 1976, ŠKODA 130RS caused a stir on the national and international rally scene. The car took its first Czech victories in the debut season of 1976 but it was the 1977 Monte Carlo rally where the 130RS made headline news with a double victory in its class. The factory team followed up with another international class win in Rally Sweden later the same season, recorded an incredible victory on the 1978 Acropolis rally and dominated the 1980 Barum Rally, taking positions one to five.

Over the following years, the 130RS recorded numerous wins in circuit races and rallies across Europe. Arguably its greatest triumph came in 1981 when, against all odds, ŠKODA clinched the European Touring Car Championship title. Having finished third overall the previous year, factory aces Bratislav Enge and Affectionately dubbed the ‘Porsche of the East’, Zdeněk Vojtěch stormed to overall victory, seeing off rivals BMW, Ford and Audi the 130RS became ŠKODA’s most successful to take top spot. competition car, winning the European Touring Car Championship in 1981 The 130RS’s success at international level ended in 1983 when its homologation period expired. With few resources to develop a replacement and new rules that favoured manufacturers with higher engine capacities, ŠKODA’s winning streak came to an end. Although the factory continued its rallying programme with the four-door 130LR model – and enjoyed numerous class successes with heroes such as John Haugland at the wheel – the glory days of the 130RS were over.

VRS ICONS Octavia WRC 1999 TAKING ON THE WORLD WITH THE MOST ADVANCED COMPETITION CAR EVER CREATED AT MLADÁ BOLESLAV

ŠKODA entered the World Rally Championship at the top level for the first time in 1999 with the Octavia WRC. Developed in-house at Mladá Boleslav, it showcased ŠKODA’s engineering skills and was yet another example of the brand’s growing confidence following the merger with the Volkswagen Group some three years earlier.

While ŠKODA was no stranger to rally silverware, it had generally recorded victories in categories that traditionally drew little attention from television and other media. The Octavia WRC programme marked the start of a different approach – one that would put the Octavia on the radar of millions of motorsport fans around the world. Under the FIA’s new rules for WRC cars, manufacturers no longer needed to have a four-wheel-drive or turbocharged engines in their road-going variants in order to build a WRC car. This provided ŠKODA with a fantastic opportunity to compete at the sport’s highest level without having to invest millions to build a series of homologation specials for road use.

In some respects, the Octavia was an unusual choice for a WRC car. Although it formed the central pillar of ŠKODA’s renaissance in the European car market, it was longer, wider and heavier than almost all its key WRC rivals and (at the time) was better known for its solid build and great value than its sporting ability. However, the factory had no other option as the forthcoming Fabia was too short for the regulations at the time. Despite its generous dimensions, the Octavia WRC proved to a remarkably quick package – Yet despite this, the Octavia WRC proved to be every bit as competitive as especially on gravel and snow ŠKODA and its legions of fans had hoped. The most advanced competition car ever built at Mladá Boleslav, the Octavia WRC was powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine that developed 300PS and 520Nm of torque. The only car in the class to have a 20 valve engine, the Octavia’s drivetrain consisted of a six-speed sequential gearbox driving through a full-time four-wheel-drive system.

Although the Octavia’s WRC programme got off to a shaky start on the 1999 Monte Carlo Rally – Armin Schwarz broke down on the way to the start and Pavel Sibera retired before reaching the first service area – the pace of development at Mladá Boleslav was remarkable. By the end of ŠKODA’s debut season in the WRC, the Octavia was reliable and fast with Belgian Bruno Thiry recording the team’s best result of the year with a fourth place finish on Rally GB.

The Octavia WRC’s brightest season was 2001, when against strong opposition Armin Schwarz came within split seconds of a podium in Monte Carlo, after an event-long fight with Francois Delecour.

Sweden or the baking heat of Kenya, the Octavia WRC was always a crowd-pleaser ŠKODA officially retired the Octavia WRC in 2003 and announced that its successor would be the smaller, lighter and more agile Fabia WRC. And, although the top step of the podium eluded the mighty Octavia during its four-year campaign, it left the rallying scene having won ŠKODA millions of new fans around the world.

37 38 Colin McRae needs no introduction. One of the few rally drivers who became bigger than the sport, the 1995 World Champion enjoyed recognition around the world and is widely regarded as one of the most gifted drivers ever to grace the world rally championship. Even if you knew nothing about rallying, you knew the name Colin McRae.

In 2005, having failed to secure a drive the previous year, McRae found himself facing a second year out of the championship that had made him a household name. Although a race at Le Mans and an entry on the Dakar had kept him in the sporting headlines in 2004, McRae was keen to get back to the WRC for 2005.

ŠKODA Motorsport seized the opportunity to put the Scotsman into the new Fabia, which was enjoying its first full season in the WRC. With German Armin Schwarz already under contract for the HEROES c full season, ŠKODA built a second car for McRae and offered him OF COLIN M RAE two drives on Wales Rally GB and Rally Australia. VRS Flying Scotsman who so nearly took

ŠKODA to the top step of the WRC podium In Australia, McRae was up to third overall with just a handful of stage miles to go on the final day. In a season where the Fabia had struggled to make an impact in the top ten, ŠKODA was suddenly looking at matching its best ever result at rallying’s highest level.

Fate, however, was to intervene. At the final service, the team chose to make a precautionary clutch change – a routine procedure that should have taken a matter of minutes. But disaster struck during the switch and despite the best efforts of the mechanics, the team couldn’t get the car running in time to complete the final stages.

ŠKODA’s dream was over along with McRae’s hope of a return to the WRC podium. And while the bitter disappointment was hard to take for McRae and the team, the Scotsman had proven the Fabia’s potential and written another amazing chapter in ŠKODA’s motorsport history.

The vRS didn’t just represent the introduction of a new model to the Octavia range, it also marked the return of the famous RS nameplate – the brand’s iconic sporting badge

VRS ICONS Octavia vRS Mk1 2001 THE CAR THAT BROUGHT ŠKODA BACK TO THE SPORTING ARENA

In 2001, some four years after the brand had successfully introduced the Octavia in the UK, came the next step in ŠKODA’s ambitious expansion plan. The Octavia vRS marked a bold step forward for ŠKODA and typified the vision, confidence and aspirations of the brand. And with the Octavia WRC wowing millions of spectators and television viewers in the World Rally Championship, the decision to create a roadgoing version made complete sense.

The vRS didn’t just represent the introduction of a new model to the Octavia range, it also marked the return of the famous RS nameplate – the brand’s iconic sporting badge proudly worn by ŠKODA’s greatest and most successful competition cars of the 1970s and 80s.

Launched to the world’s media at the Hungaroring Grand Prix circuit in Hungary in 2001, the Octavia vRS won the hearts of the press – who were quick to praise the car’s poise, performance and incredible value. Riding on a bespoke chassis fine-tuned by ŠKODA’s motorsport division at Mladá Boleslav and equipped with a 180PS, 1.8-litre turbocharged engine, the vRS was the fastest and most powerful production ŠKODA at the time, and proved to be a huge hit with UK buyers.

The vRS’s appeal was simple yet effective. Its 180PS engine offered huge reserves of torque from low revs and worked beautifully with the standard six- speed manual transmission. The 0-62mph sprint could be dispatched in less Space race: by offering an estate version of than eight seconds, while in-gear flexibility gave it an agility that belied its size. the Octavia vRS, ŠKODA opened up hot hatch ownership to a whole new market While the motoring media was quick to mark the vRS out as a performance car bargain, its appeal was more than just financial. No comparable rival could match the Octavia’s practicality, passenger space and vast boot. With 500 litres of space (580-litres in the Estate), and seats for five, the Octavia distinguished itself as a true everyday performance car.

It also looked the part, thanks to a design package developed with ŠKODA’s motorsport department. Inspired by the Octavia World Rally Car being campaigned by the factory, the production version featured deeper front and rear bumpers, side sills and a rear spoiler. The vRS also sported 17-inch wheels and stainless steel exhaust finishers. Completing the look were brake calipers painted in ŠKODA’s famous rally green.

As with the latest generation of Octavia vRS models, performance didn’t come at the expense of comfort. Inside, the Mk1 vRS featured part-leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and air-conditioning. Xenon headlights, parking sensors and ESP traction control were available as options.

The first-generation vRS provided a constant link to the brand’s ongoing competition efforts. With the Octavia WRC wowing rally fans around the world, ŠKODA produced a limited run of WRC replica models. Although the road-going versions missed out on the 300PS engine and four-wheel-drive systems of the rally version, it featured a similar livery and came with a host of extras including ESP, xenon headlights and heated seats.

The Octavia vRS also proved popular with the emergency services, starting a relationship that continues to this day. A number of forward-thinking Police forces used the Octavia vRS as an unmarked car – primarily for motorway duties. It’s a fair cop: even the Police appreciated the amazing value for money and lively performance of the first-generation Octavia vRS

VRS ICONS Fabia vRS Mk1 2003 ŠKODA RIPS UP THE HOT HATCH RULEBOOK

While the first-generation Octavia vRS set the template for modern era performance ŠKODAs, it was the Fabia vRS that took the brand into the mainstream. Ironically, it did so with a car that threw the hot hatch rulebook out of the window.

In a market where all its rivals offered athletic three-door frames and high-revving petrol engines, the Fabia vRS powered onto the scene with a practical five-door body and a punchy yet frugal 1.9-litre TDI engine. The combination proved to be a remarkably effective one – especially with UK buyers, who took the Fabia vRS to their hearts. Such was its popularity that demand comfortably outstripped supply in the first two years of production.

What really marked the Fabia vRS apart from the hot hatch crowd was its engine. Already available in the larger Octavia, the combination of shorter gear ratios and the Fabia’s much lighter frame (1,300kg) gave the new unit a completely different character – one perfectly suited to British back roads. But although its 0-62mph time was respectable at just 9.2 seconds, it was the Fabia’s in-gear flexibility that gave it the edge over rivals. With a torque output of 310Nm (more than a Porsche Boxster at the time), the Fabia vRS delivered a seamless surge of power throughout the rev range.

Are you sitting comfortably? Owners But that wasn’t the Fabia’s only secret weapon. Capable of returning travelled with pace, grace and space in an incredible 53.3mpg on the combined cycle, the vRS was a hot hatch the mould-breaking Fabia vRS with the fuel consumption of a city car – and allowed owners to enjoy exceptional performance with no penalty at the pumps.

As with the Octavia, the Fabia also had a famous sibling competing in the World Rally Championship. After four years campaigning the Octavia WRC, ŠKODA Motorsport switched to the Fabia WRC in 2003 - and started a tradition that continues to this day with the current Fabia R5. With 300PS, four-wheel-drive and a more compact frame than the Octavia, the Fabia WRC was the first supermini-sized WRC car to compete in the category – and created a template that all rivals would eventually follow. Such was the promise and performance potential of the Fabia WRC that it attracted a host of star names – including 1995 World Champion, Colin McRae.

The Fabia also continued to define what the vRS badge represented. While many of ŠKODA’s rivals were offering stripped back models with only very basic specifications and equipment, the Fabia vRS treated its occupants to a first class ride. The sports seats – strikingly designed with ontrc asting black and grey fabric – were supportive and offered long-distance comfort, while central locking, electric windows and air-conditioning meant that the vRS was the ultimate no-compromises hot hatch.

Today, the first-generation Fabia vRS enjoys a loyal following and occupies a special place in the history of the hot hatch. Although the concept of a sporty diesel is a common one in 2016, it was the Fabia vRS that popularised the template. The Fabia vRS also remains a highly sought-after model on the used market – particularly with the tuning and modifying With 130PS and more torque than a most sports community – and is widely regarded as a future classic. cars could muster, the Fabia vRS delivered exceptional in-gear flexibility

VRS ICONS Octavia vRS Mk2 2005 MORE POWER, MORE SPACE, MORE FUN

Building on the success of the first model and the launch of a Fabia version, the second-generation Octavia vRS arrived in the UK in 2005. Unlike its predecessor, which was introduced at the end of the product cycle, the new version was designed to be part of the range right from the start. As a result, the vRS version was in showrooms little more than 12 months after the standard model had made its debut.

For the first time, the Octavia vRS was developed as a small range of its own – confirming ŠKODA’s commitment to the brand. Built on an all-new platform it displayed a smoother, more refined appearance. Powered by a new 2.0-litre TSI engine linked to a six-speed manual transmission, it became the first production ŠKODA to offer an output of 200PS. Just as importantly, torque was up considerably (280Nm), making it feel even quicker on the open road.

Now capable of dispatching the 0-62mph sprint in just 7.3 seconds, the Octavia vRS was a genuine performance package capable of mixing it with some of the most respected names in the hot hatch arena.

Furthering the vRS’s appeal was the availability once again of an estate version – which went on sale at the same time as the hatch. With a vast 560-litre boot and enough space to fit five in complete comfort, the load- lugging version was an instant hit with buyers. Indeed, it proved so popular that the Estate model accounted for over 70 per cent of second-generation ŠKODA turned up the heat with the introduction Octavia vRS sales during its production run. of the second-generation Octavia vRS – offering 200PS with the petrol version

In terms of design, the vRS combined motorsport-inspired touches with luxury to create a purposeful look. The Octavia range received a substantial design facelift in 2009, when the vRS model gained even more features including LED daytime running lights and improved aerodynamics.

Inside, vRS models enjoyed all the same features as the standard Octavia but added a number of special elements to mark them out from the rest of the range. These included figure-hugging, sports seats finished in silver and black trim, a three-spoke, leather-wrapped sports steering wheel and aluminium- effect trim on the instrument panel and doors. Black rooflining and a sporty leather covered gearknob completed the design package.

Having already broken the hot-hatch rulebook by offering an estate version, ŠKODA went one better in 2006 with the introduction of a diesel variant. With the diesel-powered Fabia vRS enjoying record sales and critical acclaim from the world’s motoring press, the decision to add a 170PS 2.0 TDI option to the Octavia vRS range helped ŠKODA broaden its appeal even further.

Although the 2.0 TDI offered less outright power than the petrol version, it delivered significantly more torque (350Nm vs 280Nm) which helped give it a remarkable in-gear flexibility. And with fuel economy of 49mpg on the combined cycle and low CO2 output, the diesel-powered vRS made sense on every level. Clever details continued to mark the vRS out from the crowd. As with the original, value for money was unrivalled

VRS ICONS Fabia S2000 2008 THE MOST SUCCESSFUL RALLY CAR OF THE SUPER 2000 ERA - AND STILL A WINNER AROUND THE WORLD

ŠKODA returned to rallying in 2008 with the Fabia S2000. While the brand’s WRC programme had given ŠKODA valuable exposure around the world, the time was right to concentrate on the sport’s ultra-competitive second tier, Super 2000 category. With the WRC enduring a dip in popularity following the withdrawal of a number of big names, the new television-friendly Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) provided a perfect battleground for the sport’s newest and most exciting rally cars.

Until the R5 model was unveiled in 2015, the Fabia S2000 was the most advanced competition car ever built by ŠKODA. The S2000 was based on a roadgoing body shell heavily modified with lightweight panels, wider track (by 178mm) and a sophisticated roll cage structure that gave the frame exceptional rigidity and provided protection for the crew.

Under the bonnet, the Fabia S2000 featured a 2.0-litre, normally aspirated engine built by French motorsport specialist ORECA. The gearbox – a six-speed sequential unit that delivered drive to the road via two mechanical differentials – was supplied by British firm Xtrac.

With an output of 265PS and kerb weight of 1,200kg, the Fabia S2000 was 118kg lighter and delivered 87PS more than the road-going Fabia vRS. It also featured sophisticated, multi-adjustable Reiger suspension system that replaced the torsion bar rear axle with a multi-link design that offered even greater wheel Strong, fast and brutally effective on loose control at speed. surfaces, the Fabia S2000 is still winning events – eight years after its first appearance

Designed to compete against the likes of Peugeot, Fiat and Ford – all of whom had created supermini-based S2000 cars – the Fabia quickly established itself as the fastest and most competitive package. Driven by a succession of rising stars including Andreas Mikkelsen and Juho Hanninen, the Fabias always provided a spectacle for fans and television viewers.

The Fabia S2000 took 27 outright wins in the IRC, three IRC Manufacturers’ titles from 2010-2012 and 22 victories in the European Rally Championship (ERC). It has also won numerous national rallies and championships and remains one of the most competitive 2.0-litre rally cars available – some eight years after its introduction. The flying squad: in the hands of emerging Key to the Fabia S2000’s amazing success was the clear link to the product. drivers such as Andreas Mikkelsen, the Fabia ŠKODA fans wanting to experience some of the thrills of the rally version could S2000 was a winner around the world either choose the second-generation Fabia vRS (complete with twincharged engine and paddle-shift gearbox), or – if they had a more substantial budget – order a fully road-legal Fabia S2000 direct from ŠKODA Motorsport in Mladá Boleslav. Such was the speed, reliability and quality of the factory-built Fabia S2000 that ŠKODA Motorsport sold more rally cars to privateer drivers and teams than any other manufucturer competing in the category.

ŠKODA replaced the S2000 in 2015 with a new model based on the third-generation Fabia. Built to compete in rallying’s R5 category for 1.6-litre turbocharged cars, the Fabia R5 has continued ŠKODA’s winning streak and has already scored notable wins in the WRC2.

VRS ICONS Fabia vRS Mk2 2010 MOTORSPORT-INSPIRED HATCH THAT PUT TECHNOLOGY TO THE FORE

Launched in 2010, the second-generation Fabia vRS delivered more power, more space and more choice to buyers. Closely related in terms of design to ŠKODA’s dominant S2000 rally car, the Fabia vRS Mk2 delivered a sportier and more focused driving experience than its ground-breaking predecessor.

Externally, second-generation vRS models were marked out by a rear spoiler, deeper front bumper with integrated LED lights, 17-inch ‘Gigaro’ alloys and trademark red brake callipers. Twin exhausts and sunset glass rear windows further enhanced the sporty feel, while the availability of a contrasting roof colour (white or black) along with white, dark chrome and black alloy wheel finishes, meant that customers could personalise the look of their car like never before.

But it was underneath the bonnet where the second-generation Fabia really marked itself apart from the Mk1. Gone was the 1.9-litre turbodiesel, replaced by a state-of-the-art 1.4-litre petrol engine that featured both a turbocharger and a supercharger to deliver maximum performance across the rev range.

With 180PS on tap, the new 1.4-litre TSI unit was the most powerful engine ever offered in a production Fabia, and could propel the vRS from 0-62mph in just 7.3 seconds.

speeds of 2,400rpm when the engine was under part load. Under full load it uncoupled at a maximum of 3,500rpm. By this point the exhaust-driven turbocharger had reached its full effectiveness and continued to boost the engine in the higher rev range.

And it wasn’t just the twin-charged engine that gave the Fabia vRS a motorsport feel. A seven-speed DSG twin-clutch transmission was fitted as standard, offering drivers the opportunity to flick paddles to change up and down the gearbox. Measuring only 369mm in length and weighing only 79kg including the dual-mass flywheel, the gearbox was remarkably light and compact.

Naturally, the rest of the Fabia vRS’s dynamic package was tuned to deliver a sportier drive. Changes to the power steering system resulted in sharper, more direct responses, while stiffer dampers and firmer rear axle springs gave the car even greater stability through corners. The ride height was also reduced by 20mm to lower the centre of gravity.

The vRS was also fitted with an innovative XDS electronic differential as standard. One of the first small cars to offer this advanced technology, the XDS system improved cornering traction by braking the inside front wheel when accelerating through corners, transferring torque to the outside wheel. Performance in this direction... the Fabia vRS’s Production of the Fabia vRS ended in 2014 ahead of the introduction of the advanced 1.4-litre TSI ‘twincharged’ engine third-generation Fabia.

VRS ICONS Octavia vRS Bonneville 2011 THE FASTEST ŠKODA EVER - TAKING VRS TO OVER 200MPH

The vRS story has enjoyed many highlights over the years, but few vRS-badged models have enjoyed quite as much exposure or grabbed as many headlines as a 2011 Octavia model that took a British team to a new Land Speed Record.

Built to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the vRS badge in the UK, the Octavia vRS Bonneville special registered a Southern California Timing Association (SCTA) sanctioned speed of 227.080 mph on Utah’s legendary Bonneville Salt Flats.

Although based on a production Octavia vRS 2.0 TSI, the Bonneville special was modified extensively for the record attempt. However, the development team from ŠKODA UK were only able to change or alter a certain number of components in order to qualify as a production car. Adding to the challenge was the fact that the Octavia’s 2.0 TSI engine was so new at the time that very few motorsport or high- performance upgrades were available from external suppliers.

Working to an almost impossibly tight deadline, the car was built at ŠKODA UK headquarters. The injection system was substantially modified to deliver more fuel (methanol) to the engine, while the cooling system benefited from the installation of a 10-litre radiator. The transmission was also altered with a different gearbox (taken from an Octavia GreenLine) installed to deliver a higher top speed.

Among the more unusual features created for the Bonneville special was a parachute braking system. With the salt surface of the track offering little grip for conventional hub-mounted brakes, the team removed the car’s front discs and calipers and replaced them with a parachute – operated by a lever in the cabin. This had the added advantages of removing drag, unsprung weight and friction.

Driven by British motoring journalist Richard Meaden, the Octavia broke the 200mph barrier on six occasions throughout the 2011 Bonneville Speed Week. The Octavia’s record breaking runs consisted of two official runs of the five-mile course at 225.513 mph on Thursday 18 August, and a return run at 228.647 mph on Friday 19 August.

Five years on, the record set by the Octavia vRS remains unbeaten.

VRS ICONS Octavia vRS Mk3 2013 THE ULTIMATE VRS – POWER, PERFORMANCE AND MORE CHOICE THAN EVER BEFORE

Delivering the perfect combination of sportiness, space and functionality, the current Octavia vRS takes ŠKODA performance to a new level. Available with the broadest range of body styles, engines, transmissions and drive layouts in the brand’s history, the latest-generation Octavia vRS is the most complete vRS ever made.

Based on the acclaimed third-generation Octavia, the Octavia vRS model made its world debut at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed, showcasing a host of advanced engineering innovations, dramatic design and pulse- quickening performance.

In all its forms, the new Octavia vRS continues the UK’s love affair with the vRS badge. Offered in both hatchback and estate forms, the new Octavia vRS’s bold, motorsport-inspired design pays homage to its legendary predecessors. Despite its obvious sporting ambitions, the new Octavia vRS is as practical and clever as the award-winning standard models. The hatch offers 590 litres of boot space with the rear seats in position, while the estate delivers 610 litres of luggage room. With the rear seats folded, the figures rise to 1,580 litres and 1,740 litres respectively.

At the heart of the Octavia vRS is an engine line-up that is as powerful and exciting as it is frugal and clean. Two advanced powerplants are available: a 2.0 TSI petrol with outputs of 220PS and 230PS, and the most powerful New 4x4 models are available with the 184PS diesel engine ever to be offered in an Octavia in the form of a 2.0 TDI 184PS. diesel engine and DSG transmission, allowing vRS All models are available with the choice of a six-speed manual transmission owners to venture even further afield or a six-speed DSG automatic.

To allow drivers to fully exploit the vRS’s performance potential, ŠKODA has engineered a chassis set-up that features a lowered ride height (12mm hatch, 13mm estate) and advanced multi-link rear suspension design. Electronic differential lock (XDS) is fully integrated into the Octavia’s electronic stability control (ESC) system, and helps improve traction in corners. The Octavia also features a progressive steering system that varies the amount of lock required according to road speed.

The current Octavia vRS range is the biggest to date. In addition to the front- wheel drive models, customers can also choose a four-wheel-drive version. Available with the 2.0 TDI 184PS engine, it delivers exceptional traction on all surfaces and adds an additional level of security and safety for owners who want to venture further afield. At the heart of the 4x4 model lies an advanced multi-plate clutch all-wheel drive system that can detect any loss of traction and immediately divert torque to the opposite axle to maintain drive.

The system achieves this by using an advanced control function based on specific driving conditions. When operating under a relatively low load or when coasting, the front wheels are driven and the rear wheels are decoupled, helping to save fuel. However, the rear wheels can be engaged in fractions of a second whenever necessary via the multi-plate coupling, which is activated by an electro-hydraulic oil pump.

And for those who demand even greater performance than the standard 220PS TSI model offers, there’s the vRS 230 model. Introduced in 2015, the vRS 230 features revised engine and turbocharger management to deliver a 10PS increase in power. In six-speed manual form, the vRS 230 hits 62mph in just 6.7 seconds, while the six-speed DSG-equipped version sprints to the same speed in 6.8 seconds. Both figures are 0.1 seconds quicker than the standard vRS model.
