ONE of the most successful drives I have experienced over the years was in a Škoda Octavia vRS Hatch I took to the Lake District. The second reason was because the car I took to Cumbria was a Škoda Octavia vRS, plug-in hybrid. Škoda says the occasion celebrates “a quarter century of performance models that have shaped the brand’s modern identity”. This rallying success has influenced the engineering prowess and real-world capability of Škoda’s road-going vRS models. Enyaq vRS and Enyaq Coupé vRS marked Škoda’s move into fully electric vRS performance.
