Skoda Auto is now able to explore new sustainability possibilities in motorsports while further enhancing the brand's emotional appeal, all thanks to the new Enyaq RS Race concept study.
The Enyaq RS Race is based on the Enyaq Coupe vRS. Fitted with all wheel drive, the new Enyaq RS Race acts as a demonstration of the broad scope of possibilities that the Volkswagen Group's Modular electric drive matrix has to offer in terms of performance. The aggressive design of this Enyaq underlines the strong connection the car has to racing and motorsports. While the broad base ensures even more stable handling, the prominent rear wing provides the vehicle with necessary downforce.
Skoda states that the aim of this study is to gain practical knowledge through specific technical and design modifications of high-performance electric vehicles. The brand followed up by stating that the approaches could potentially be implemented in future production models.
The Enyaq RS Race is not the first innovative battery-electric concept study from Skoda Motorsport. In 2021, the Skoda Fabia RE-X1 was built on the chassis of the Skoda Fabia Rally2 evo. The Fabia was then fitted with an 860v electric motor with a peak output of 260kW.
More recently, with the Vision GT, Skoda took a different approach. Inspired by the 110 OHC Spider from 1957, the all-electric single-seater was exclusively designed for the Gran Turismo 7 PlayStation game. This concept study expands Skoda's presence in the digital racing world.
Skoda also stated that the Enyaq RS Race design is not something that will remain on paper, rather we can look forward to it turning into a real car.
