2021 Skoda Kodiaq vRS review: Back in 2011, a small team of Skoda engineers were set an ambitious task. They were to take an Octavia vRS, and with some careful modifications, break the Bonneville land speed record for 2. 0-litre, forced-induction production cars. To take the record, however, the Octavia would have to remain close to the standard model, so it used the engine block and gearbox from the road-going Octavia, but with one crucial difference. The engineers strapped a huge Garrett turbo to the motor, which boosted all the way to 700bhp. It was enough to decimate the record, with a 227mph run in the hands of Dickie Meaden 10 years ago. So buckle up, and let our man Yousuf Ashraf show you what it's like to grapple with the fastest Skoda on the planet

I wonder how -standard- the engine REALLY is. You don-t get 700HP just from putting on a massive turbo. Injector upgrade? Intake upgrade? Exhaust upgrade? ECU tuning?

Get one of the silly old comedians from yesteryear to drive one. Their wig will soon fly out of the window! Fantastic record breaking Skoda
