Skoda Superb sports car will rock you

We love the 2022 Skoda Octavia RS but it’s high time Volkswagen Group’s Czech brand took the next step and produced a flagship sports car to cap off its growing product portfolio in Australia.

And we’re clearly not alone…

Created by digital artist Rostislav Prokop, the tough-looking European street machine you see here blends elements of the Skoda Superb large car’s front-end design with a more aggressive and wider lower apron.

The heavily raked windscreen and overall silhouette appears to have a lot in common with the Audi A5 coupe, while the large alloy wheels and lowered suspension imply driving dynamics are the focus here.

Take a gander at the Skoda Superb coupe’s rear-end and the tail-lights are unmistakably Skoda, blending into the short boot seamlessly and styled in such a fashion as to keep the familial resemblance with lesser Skoda models.

There’s also a big ‘Tudor’ badge on the back, in honour of the Skoda Tudor classic car that can trace its lineage to 1946.

Meanwhile, a pair of big-bore exhaust pipes tell following vehicles this is no mere 2.0 TSI model.

If Skoda was to hypothetically throw everything at a new high-performance flagship, we can only assume it would rummage through the Volkswagen Group’s powertrain catalogue and install something like, say, the 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbo-petrol rig found in the Audi RS 3.

The sonorous five-pot powerplant generates a healthy 294kW of power and 500Nm of torque, ensuring prompt acceleration. Torque would be channelled to all four wheels – with rear-wheel torque vectoring, naturally – pumping through a quick-shifting seven-speed dual-clutch automatic with launch control and some anti-social exhaust acoustics.
