Skoda Octavia RS 245 | The Last Hurrah! | PowerDrift
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
It’s always a good day when you can have a go in the Octy RS, and with the new one, the Octavia RS 245, things just go up a notch or two. What makes this RS 245 all the more important is the fact that this will be the last Octavia RS that will come with only an internal combustion engine powering it. That’s right; the next Octy RS will be a hybrid. Will that be good? Bad? Now’s not the time to dwell on it. Now’s the time to focus on a simple question: should we all drop our plans and head out to buy the Octy RS 245 because it will have the last of the accessible performance internal combustion engines? That’s a question Rohan and Raunak are trying to answer. Watch to find out more and, as always, do let us know what you think in the comments!

Expecting the same type of video as the previous one! There are very few "enthusiast" cars left in the market now and the number is only going down in the future. Hope to catch a glimpse of Roahn's GT-R or the evo in the upcoming video (like the last one)
Meanwhile Matt Watson reviews The New Octavia RS245 on his channel. Skoda ! We are watching what you are doing.

Forget the price... Mitsubishi evo X used to cost 49.9 lakhs ex showroom back in the day when it was launched...!! Now with this interior if Skoda is asking 46 lakhs on road I think price is justified... Also in the age of hybrid/electric cars what we will get going forward a few years down the line do you think we petrol head would get such cars ..?? Now that's a big question...
Why are we still not having a proper affordable rear wheel drive performance vehicle here in India?

Because of so many taxes bro
Alloys are way too flashy, doesn't gel well with octy's sleeper look
I have determined that Octavia RS will be my first car, even tho i dont have a enough budget... will probably get a 2nd hand one
so the whole purpose of this video was to show how to get into launch control in a fwd! Well that’s very intuitive of indian roads 🤣
At this price point a discounted 330i m sport would be better ;) The only reason to pick 330i over rs245 is rwd in 330i.
Man was waiting for this video from a long time..!! I clearly know I can’t afford it when it launched but boy oh boy I’m in love with this car 🔥🔥
It's DQ381 And 381 doesn't stand for the amount of torque it can handle. It's just a code number. If that was the case RS 230 came with DQ 250, but still RS 230's torque was 350nm

Rohan sir..ur old rs 230 Video is still something I watch very often.. it was one hell of a presentation..hats off boss
i want more of rohan's video... i started following power drift just because the way you talk about the car . its like hearing racing commentary... and your too good in this video as well.
I bought this car around 6 months back in Sydney. Over here, car came with 19 inch wheels. Overall, I love this car. It's quick , very practical and appealing. However, vrs 245 costs around $20,000 less than a BMW 3 series. If I was in India, I would rather buy a BMW than Octavia 245. Also, it sucks to drive a fwd on wet roads.
Finally they are launching this car again in India. It is the only auto reverse parking car under the lowest budget car. ❤️ What's new in the 2020 model well that's sick.🔥
One of my favourite cars since its launch in the Indian market back when i was in school. 😍❤️ Octavia RS .
By the time you tell, could this be our next car, they are sold out 😂

Not actually. Well, atleast in my city, there are more than a couple of these awaiting bookings.
I didn't know the OG memeber Rohan was still around. I assume he's more concentrating on cars on powerdrift and I rarely watch car videos.
amazing job guys.. really enjoyed the video !!!
Next generation which is due to launch sometime next year india,will have petrol engines only,the vrs too will have a similar 245 bhp petrol engine as this one, yes there is a hybrid mk4,highly unlikely that will come to india,hopefully though we get the 245 with 2.0 tsi again,given how well both 230 and 245(despite its 45 lacs price tag)have faired in our market,demand is imminent,skoda india,please do the right thing and launch the next gen car with a Vrs model too,hopefully via Ckd route to keep the price competitive,nonetheless,stellar video guys!Rohan's old rs230 video is still one of the best indian automotive productions ever, a must watch!!
PowerDrift pumping out great content as usual! Guy at PD, what's up with the video "quality"? Lightning is harsh I understand but it feels like you are still shooting in challenging conditions on a Canon 80D or something..
Thanks alot for featuring my FPV drone footages 😊😊✌️✌️
LOVE THIS SKODA
Still a front wheel drive... What's the big fun? 🤷🏻♂️
Comparo with 330i Sport please! M-Sport is in a different league (price-wise) so a comparison with Sport would be fair.

Ten Hut is always Awesome 👌🏻 ❤️❤️❤️ PowerDrift
While the videos have all the merit in this world to be the best one ever... What is the point of really coming out with it, when maximum 245 (since there was a rumour that some units might have not been taken in the end) or may be all of them have been sold out. Although, by the time I am able to own one, it will go hybrid and I will have to search for an used one..m
Sound track at the end?
That was nice gesture, with crew
Who's here after watching carwow's Matt Watson review the next generation of this car. Last hurrah not exactly
Extremely overpriced for a front wheel drive car. Bmw 3 series for a bit more money is next level.

This one's body is totally different from the one which launched in Europe with the same engine of course.
VRS245 in European markets is completely different ...If this is CBU and at 40L price then why not we get the latest version? 😤

What's the song that starts at 5:26 ? Couldn't find it on Shazam
hi whats the background music at the end its too good
I have seen somewhere that an all wheel drive Octavia RS is there is there one? Even though its price has gone up I see it like it got better but I will wait till the comprehensive review to actually make a say on the VFM
Waiting for this from eternity 😻
2:18 really bad camera work.
Hmmmm... Didn't launch the car with full throttle down? 🤔 If depressed at certain levels the rpm will bounce. U floor it, it's stay constant around 4k. Shld try it
