280 km: this was the end of the line for the third generation model Škoda Superb, which was soon discontinued. Under the hood was a gasoline engine 2.0 TSI. Unless you intervene yourself. Like these gentlemen from Holland.
Ta Super Combi hides under its cover Audi's secret. While Škoda sold this car exclusively with four-cylinder engines, has this green model five cylinders. More precisely: aggregate 2,5 TFSI from the model Audi RS 3. In the standard version, the Ingolstadt engine develops approx 400 km, which is as much as 120 hp more than the most powerful Superb, which Škoda offered in this generation. The six-cylinder in-line engine gained power 720 km in 830 Nm of torque, which turned an otherwise calm mid-range car into a real rocket. The otherwise rather inconspicuous modification only reached 100 km/h on an unrestricted section of the German highway 3,32 seconds. As if that wasn't impressive enough, he did the 100-200km/h sprint in 6,06 seconds, and from 0 to 124 km/h in 9,38 seconds. It took him a quarter mile 10,77 seconds. He almost reached the magic limit from a standing start 300 km/h. You can see that after 260 km/h the speedometer simply gave up and refused to continue.
When emissions regulations weren't so strict, it was Škoda Superb also sold with more than four cylinders. The first generation of the model after the takeover by the group Volkswagen had gasoline and diesel engines V6, and the successor 3,6 liter VR6 engine. The original Superb, available in the 1930s and 1940s, had a large 4,0-liter engine V8 and a range of six-cylinder in-line engines. In 2024, it will be recently introduced the new Superb still had the four cylinder with 265 km as the strongest model. Unfortunately, Škoda never offered a powerful version RS, but this Dutchman built it himself with an engine transplant RS 3.
