A prominent Indian automobile tuner has turned a sporty car into a complete performance beast. Check out the details of the enhancement equipment on this unique vehicle.
Etuners has converted a Skoda Octavia VRS into a fire-breathing monster that is more powerful than a Lamborghini Huracan. Aftermarket automobile tuners are not very prominent in our market. It has also to do with the fact that tweaking the engine performance parameters requires precise and professional expertise. One can’t just do mechanical modifications to a car without running the risk of causing serious damage to the engine. Let us check out how this stock Octavia VRS is made to perform at the level of a sportscar.

Skoda Octavia More Powerful Than Lamborghini
Etuners have installed a ton of performance enhancements to this engine. This includes things like a fully built engine block, forged pistons, forged connecting rods, APR L19 rod bolts, APR 2000 Head Studs, enhanced valves, springs, retainers, head gaskets, thick intercoolers, enhanced turbocharger and much more. All these are components that are generally used in high-end performance luxury cars. The team puts the finished product on a Dyno to test the performance of the Octavia VRS. And the results are shocking, to say the least.
Specs
While the regular Octavia VRS makes 230 hp from the 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine in its regular avatar. Now, while that in itself is quite powerful, the performance enhancements made to this engine have taken this number to a whopping 576 hp and 655 Nm of peak power and torque respectively. These numbers were achieved on a Dyno run. The team, then, took the VRS out on the highway to experience the real-world performance of this modified beast. The 0-100 km/h came up in a mere 3.76 secs and the 0-200 km/h was achieved in just 10.86 secs which puts it at par with some of the best sports cars in the world.

It must be mentioned here that the tyres on this are not as sticky as one would want in a sportscar. With better tyres, this performance could have been a tad bit better still. With passengers and full interiors, the quarter-mile sprint was completed in a mere 11.15 secs, which is simply outrageous. Let us know how did you like India’s most powerful Octavia VRS?
