Recently updated on February 23, 2022 at 11:03 am

As soon as you think of a Skoda Octavia station wagon, you immediately think of a representative vehicle, or a family station wagon that you can use to transport your child. However, very few will think that you can also have fun with an Octavia station wagon, and that it is possible to modify the Czech so that it is suitable for the race track. But the Briton has this feat Andy Cowley get it done by turning a conventional Octavia station wagon into one Track monster that was inspired by the touring cars of the BTCC. So he showed the critics a long nose, and made sure that his Skoda becomes a real weapon on the racetrack. We don't want to withhold the vehicle from you, of course, and now introduce it to you in more detail.

Touring cars for the road!

The first thing to fall is that Tic-Tac wrapping where hardly any component remained unchanged. In addition, the Skoda was in Porsche Chalk Gray lacquered in order to achieve a special effect together with the foiling. For the deepest possible look Airlift V2 air bags as well as rear shock absorber installed by Bilstein. The one in front was wider subframe The chassis is modeled on that of the Cupra R model, and some parts of the chassis are from one A. In addition, a three-degree negative camber, Camber arms installed by IDF, which enable the effect.

The sub-floor was also clearedto enable optimal racetrack performance and is also in the color of the exterior painted. He also received one powder coating. Also were 8,5 × 19-inch alloy wheels from Team Dynamics installed on the model name Pro Race 1.3 Listen. On the Alus were Nankang NS 2 tires raised, which ensure optimal grip in all situations. Behind the multi-spoke rims, which look very dynamic, there is one Brembo brakes with 334 mm large disc brakes, which ensure that the Skoda comes to a safe stop from all walks of life. Further modifications to the exterior include a Aluminum rear wing by BYC, a Aluminum diffuser at the stern, a bespoke, extended Rear bumper, a clever one Hatchback, Custom side skirts, 20 mm wider rear fender, which were specially made for the vehicle and an emblematic one front Grill.

They also join in Front splitter, DTM exterior mirrorswhich were specially made for the vehicle and a special one bonnet with large air inlets that ensure that the engine is adequately ventilated. Last but not least, there are additional headlights in addition to the headlights air intakeswhich also serve to cool the engine. Not to be forgotten are the enormously eye-catching ones sidepipeswho let their exhaust gases out unfiltered behind the front tires. With the vehicle, tuner Andy Cowley has created a thoroughbred track tool that probably makes a Lotus, Caterham or Donkervoort look old.

There is also a racing feeling in the interior!

As soon as you look into the cockpit, you are struck by a purple sea. The purple ones Bucket seats by Corbeau called Revenge, which are made of carbon, look like they fell into the paint pot, and so do the purple ones Inlays on the dashboard may not really fit in with the Skoda's racing look from our point of view. The turquoise ones harmonize with this Harness belts not really with the purple of the seats. A Sport steering wheel with Alcantara cover with a diameter of 350 mm and a turquoise one Roll cage, which ensures that the rear bench had to give way, are also installed.

There is also one in the car Kenwood 2 DIN sound system, that with 6,5-inch Alpine components in the front door, and instead of the rear bench seat two 12-inch JL subwoofers installed that take care of the bass. The spare was also placed in the trunk, and is on a specially made bracket, which makes it possible to use the elaborately constructed Audio system to accommodate in the car.

1,8-liter turbo engine drives the Skoda

The heart of the extraordinary station wagon is a well-known VW engine. the 1,8-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with 20 valves acts as the drive source of the Czech track tool. Of course, it was provided with various modifications, which we cannot list all of them individually in the text, so that it generates significantly more power than the standard 180 horses.

However, we do not know anything about the exact power and maximum torque. We only know that the vehicle has its power over a converted O2J switch box with five gears inklusive locking differential transfers to the front wheels. In addition, the Skoda got the Clutch of a Golf VR6 in order to be able to handle the increased performance better.
