It’s 2025 and we should be well past the point where we’re surprised that Skoda has made a great car. But a mapped and slammed Superb Estate with more power than an Audi RS4 probably wasn’t what you were expecting to see from the maker of humble family cars.
There’s also a flash of red within those wheels – namely the six-piston AP racing brake calipers with two-piece 390mm discs and Goodridge braided brake lines. The whole cars also sits around 50mm lower, too, thanks to KW coil-over dampers and while the exhaust tips are standard, there’s a custom-made centre section and downpipe.
Pin the throttle and while you might occasionally feel like you’ve caught the standard seven-speed DSG ‘box out, it doesn’t take long for the 470bhp to come barrelling in and get things moving. Like many tuned engines, this car loves to rev and delivers its best work above 4,500rpm.
