How sporty can a Skoda station wagon be? Rieger Tuning from 84307 Eggenfelden would like to show us this with a bright red Skoda Octavia Combi RS 2.0 TDI. From the factory you can call the Octavia even in the RS version honest, if the Czech would not be delivered in bright red, but in silver or black, hardly a layman would notice the difference to a normal Octavia. Rieger has changed that and is visually not holding back at all. Why also? The Octavia doesn’t have to hide with its standard 184PS & 380NM torque, but again with a power-to-weight ratio of 7,9k / PS it cannot do well. Rieger changes that and gives the RS an increase in performance to 210PS & 450NM torque and lets the Czech sprint to 7,2 km / h in 100 seconds and only ends at 236km / h. The new power-to-weight ratio is now 7,1 kg / hp. There is also a lot going on visually because the RS is now rolling on high-contrast 8,5 x 19 inch BBS RX-R aluminum rims in matt gold with 225/35 ZR 19 tires of the Hankook Ventus S1 evo type. The Octavia looks significantly lower thanks to the built-in front and rear bumpers as well as the new side skirts and of course the built-in KW coilover kit.

Rieger presented this Octavia a long time ago, but the spectacular video is new and so we thought that the whole vehicle should find its way onto tuningblog.eu. The Rieger team published the 4 minute clip a few days ago and we are of course happy to be able to show you the little film as well. After the not all that comprehensive, but still very effective, tuning cure that the Rieger Octavia was allowed to endure, it is now visually much more conspicuous and sportier than the production version without exaggerating. So if you have been secretly thinking about buying a current Octavia RS for a long time, or if you are already a happy owner, Rieger Tuning is definitely an interesting starting point when it comes to individually differentiating the vehicle from the production model. As far as the further changes to optics or technology are concerned, we have tried to find out the most important details. As always, we have listed what came out of it in the lower part of the article in a small summary for you.
