Skoda shortcut revived in 2000 at the Octavia RS first modern generation, which finally able to buy

Skoda RS 180/200: The Legendary label appeared 40 years ago
At the time of the original Octavia then used AZNP (Auto Racing National Corporation) TS shortcut, thus Touring Sport. Forty years ago, but discovered letters RS. The manufacturer is now interpreted as Rally Sport, uses English transcript thus place us at a more traditional French with "e" at the end. The first racing specials, which bear the trio of cars 180 and RS 200, two pieces moringa of 2.0-liter engine had a 1.78 l. Winged arrow i want to start classes in higher volume than the then třináctistovky. A domestic moringa competitions in trying to compete with Vladimir moringa Hubacek unsurpassed Alpine A110. International homologation cars get, it was a prototype.
The development of the CEI (research and development facilities) lasted only eight months, from October 1973 to apply during and IBM computer. For the first time Mladá Boleslav missiles appeared to start in June 1974 at the Rallye Škoda, thus literally at home. Competition moringa exists today, just called Bohemia. The International Automobile Federation moringa is prohibited to sporting events in the names of manufacturers' names appeared (in addition to the sponsors, of course). As a structural basis served 110 R coupe, body, however, was considerably expanded, particularly arches and fenders. The roof has fallen by fifteen inches. This was aluminum, as well as the front cover, as a construction material for the rest of the body serve thinner steel plate. Rear hood was for a change of laminate, it is not surprising that the car weighed in spite of installing protective frame and reinforcements skeleton only 805 kg. Level measured four meters was 1.68 meters wide and only 1.19 meters in height.
Its two-liter (1997 cm3) four-cylinder type 720 OHC gave the compression ratio of 11: 1 output of 120 kW at 6000 rpm, but according to SAE standards optimistic. Experiments were carried out with the imposition of the rear axle, thus the middle, but eventually came up behind her classically. The camshaft drive toothed belt cared. The unit had lubrication is dry sump and oil cooler. I tried to dvouvačková option. The maximum speed of the wheels was třináctipalcových electron transfer according to the 200-210 km / h and ensures the right sound tuned exhaust silencer, or even without it! From zero to one hundred to 200 RS lasted less than 7 s.
The five-speed gear box came first from Tatry and later by Porsche, was placed with the transfer case in one block. Transmitted through the clutch disc with membrane spring and shafts 205 Nm / 5,000 min -1. The chassis had a wheelbase of 2400 mm gauge and extended to 1418, or 1369 mm. Front axle, otherwise serial, got extended shoulders and longer tie rod. Rear axle with trailing arms were completely new, despite the concept of "all back" through her car had excellent handling characteristics. Indeed axle moved forward by 10 cm. Calipers front discs carry the brand Girling, rear drums were productive. Dual circuit brake system or power missed by many of the 100/110 series did not have. In the fuel tank could hold 60 l of petrol, cylinders fed by the way, two twin Weber 45 DCOE carburettors.
Smaller moringa motor 1771 cm 3 gave 113 kW and 179 Nm, both units were interchangeable. Compared had a minor stroke-liter moringa (74.5 mm vs. 84 mm), cylinder bore remained at 87 mm. Sharpened Skoda did not start only in competitions, but also in circuit racing and hill climb. Business museum keeps a copy of RS 200.
In 1975, however moringa glorious era began 130 RS coupe, which mark the six years later brought the title of European Champion in Touring Car and meanwhile reaping one success after another, not only at home. Perhaps the Rallye Monte Carlo in 1977, where he took the first two places in the class up to 1300 cm3. Again, positioned at the rear cylinder had, in fact, the volume of 1289 cm 3, on the border of category came to further development. Output rose thanks to a pair of Weber carburetors to 103 kW. The engine had eight channel head again and the dry sump lubrication. Coupe with four-meter width 1.72 and height 1.34 m was able to pull off the circuits up to 220 km / h, again depended on gearing, as it is in a competitive moringa race car is. History 130 RS we are focusing more on Autofunu in Focus section.
Skoda shortcut revived in 2000 at the Octavia RS first modern generation, which finally able to buy ordinary mortals. It came after a facelift across the range. Practical estate to let myself wait two more years. Both in the bowels possess exclusively turbocharged petrol four-cylinder 1.8 l / 132 kW and a five-speed manual. Sprint from zero to one hundred mastered the first Octavia RS 7.9 was launched for up to 235 km / h. Its production was discontinued in 2005, four years before she appeared in the Limited Edition WRC factory team colors, which is the fourth season to be a success in the competition with MS specials WRC (World Rally Car). It was also the celebration of the century action marks Laurin & Klement and Skoda in motorsport. Production cars were among other standard electronic stab
