The performance label is very important for each auto manufacturer. Seat has the Cupra and the FR badges, Audi has the S and RS, Volkswagen has the GTI and R and now Skoda has the vRS: a very attractive Czech family sedan.

Also known as the Octavia vRS Limited Edition, this new car wagon or hatchback arrives with either a 170 hp 2.0-liter TDI diesel or a 2.0-liter TFSI engine (200 hp). The upgrades comprises 18-inch alloys, leather interior, an Anthracite paintjob, touch-screen infotainment unit, a three-spoke steering wheel and requisite special badging.

This special premium upgrade will set you back £750 (around $1040 USD) and the UK customers will only be able to buy 500 units before the new Octavia arrives kicking and screaming.
