Skoda’s motorsport department has released a new racing concept version for the firm’s Enyaq vRS electric SUV.
Though it uses the same basic powertrain as the road-going car, it gets a 70mm drop at the rear while the body itself has been made 72mm wider at the front and 116mm wider at the back.
A variety of components are made from sustainable materials, too, with natural flax fibres replacing carbon. PowerRibs technology – which uses lightweight natural figures made from flax – is used to reinforce the car’s body panels and make the whole structure stiffer.
An extensive aerodynamics package is also included, bringing a large rear wing, an ‘aerodynamically optimised roof’ and an air intake which brings fresh air from the outside into the interior.
Underneath you’ll find an 82kWh linked to twin electric motors bringing 335bhp. Skoda says that the Enyaq RS Race can go from 0-60mph in under five seconds before heading onwards to a top speed 112mph.
