Skoda Rapid Sport: Were We the Only Existing Copy!

Perhaps it does not sound like blasphemy, but after 10 years in the world of motors testing cars, it does just a little every day. However, there are days when a person looks forward to work as a young boy. Maybe if you choose Skoda as the only journalist in the world borrows the concept of Rapid.

Sitting in a parade of anatomical seats, hold thick leather rim steering wheel, under a vented hood, hissing intake as angry cobra and awesome hoarseness exhausts evokes me memories of the ride with Mikko Hirvonen in WRC special. Not me, I need to get out and make sure they actually sit in the car Skoda Rapid, which has carry on the family cottage for reasonable money.

Study of Rapid Sport was created for this year's mega tuning at the Austrian lake Wörthersee, where shone on the stand Skoda automaker. Designers knocked out and unleash their imagination, regardless of the real production options and costs.

Z concept car radiates a special mysterious atmosphere. Generally exist in a single copy, built by hand, is a huge bag of money and the showrooms are locked, kept out of reach of curious admirers. When they have paid their few days of glory, wander the museum, depositary or, in the worst case to the scrap yard - and such is the fate of automotive studies. Rapid ornate said its stint but was not finished and the company probably may take a few more times to show off.

Meanwhile, it can cause various exceptional events. With one of these just sit first and only editor for Rapid Sport steering wheel and cannot get enough. Too bad the thin pages of the magazine to you absolutely cannot transfer those bold shapes - the body is about six centimeters closer to the tarmac and on each side is the same portion of her feet, which emphasized the basic architecture lift back with massive high stern.

Around the car, there are wavy line carbon lollipops, sills and extensions. Is it really fair carbon and no fake? The highlight of the whole issue is clear-cut diffuser at the rear, from which peep out two rectangular exhausts. This is really successful. And the sound! Commissioning Sport model anyway cannot, so there is no reason to keep our ears got really behind the ears. All three silencers capturing decibels have fired the engine and the cylinder head and the rear end just empty pipes. It is rumble! The perfect racing atmosphere lacks only gutted interior with protective cage and safety harness. Inside there is a rapid change and decently maintained a significant part of the civilian face. So when we talk about the front of the cockpit. Due anatomical added specialist Recaro seats, a large black plastic revived red leaves in shades of body - her halfway. Otherwise, we have a relatively familiar environment including devices and dial seven DSG clutches.

Rear already cast spells more. The rear bucket seats are incorporated into the car absolutely precise, as if he visited the catalog of original accessories. Neither case inlaid mirror surfaces, nor the ultimate sports suspension with adjustable dampers built on peace studies. Beautiful 19’’ wheels shod with 225/35 ZR 19 very reminiscent of the one that gets the new Octavia RS.
