The Czech automaker Skoda India has finally commenced the deliveries of its newest and most unique vehicle, the Octavia RS, in India. This particular sports sedan has been launched specifically for performance car enthusiasts, and recently, a video of the delivery of India's first Skoda Octavia RS has been shared online. Skoda officially launched the Octavia RS in India on October 17th.
The video showing the delivery of India's first Skoda Octavia RS has been shared on Instagram by Skoda Dhone on their page. It starts off with the owner of this sports sedan arriving at the Skoda Dhone dealership located in Wagholi, Pune, in his Volkswagen T-Roc SUV with his wife. Following this, he then enters the dealership and gets greeted by the dealership employees.
It can be noted that the Octavia RS was hidden in a collapsible box. The owner was then presented with the paperwork for this sedan, and after signing everything, he came out along with his wife and dealership staff for the delivery. He then pulled the ribbon off the box, and the three sides fell down to show the car hidden under a cover.

Finally, he then pulled off the cover, and the fireworks started glowing. The owner was then handed over the keys to his brand-new Skoda Octavia RS, and his wife was also seen being extremely ecstatic about the delivery. She then performed Hindu rituals, and they went inside the dealership for the cake-cutting ceremony. The video then shows the beauty shots of the Octavia RS.
The first customer-delivered Skoda Octavia RS is finished in the classy shade of Magic Black. In addition to this color, the company is offering it in Mamba Green, Candy White, Race Blue, and Velvet Red colors. Skoda India has launched the Octavia RS with a price tag of Rs 49.9 lakh.

In terms of design, on the outside, it boasts an aggressive and sharper design than the standard model. Its highlights include a blacked-out front grille, dual exhaust tips in the rear, sportier front and rear bumpers, and a lip spoiler on the rear decklid. The Octavia RS also gets RS badging and 19-inch aero-optimized alloy wheels as well.
On the inside, it comes equipped with suede and leather upholstery with red contrast stitching. It also gets sports front seats with electric adjustment, memory, heating, and massage functions, ambient lighting, and a virtual cockpit.
Other highlights of the Octavia RS include three-zone climate control, wireless charging, and a 32.77 cm infotainment system with wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It also gets a premium Canton 675W 11-speaker sound system with a subwoofer, along with an electrically operated boot with a virtual pedal.

Powering the Octavia RS is a 2.0-litre TSI turbo petrol motor. This high-performance motor is capable of producing an impressive 265 bhp and 370 Nm of torque. As for transmission, they both get a 7-speed DSG gearbox. This sporty sedan also comes with variable-ratio progressive steering as standard and a lowered sports suspension.
Only 200 units of the Skoda Octavia RS will be delivered in India. This makes it an extremely unique car to buy. A lot of automakers are now bringing limited numbers of their special cars to India. Recently, Volkswagen also launched the Golf GTI in India, priced at Rs 52.99 lakh, and only 150 units of this hatchback have been brought into the country via the CBU route, like the Octavia RS.
