Recently, we found a video of a modified Skoda Octavia VRS which is nearly 40% more powerful than the regular version. This car is highly customized, not in terms of styling or features but with performance. This sedan derives power from the same 2.0-litre petrol mill, but it puts out 425bhp of power output. What this means is that this car makes even more power than the Ford Mustang, which has a 5.0-litre V8 motor that produces 395bhp of peak power.

This modified Skoda Octavia VRS sedan has customizations worth Rs 16 lakhs, thereby taking the overall cost of the car up to Rs 46 lakhs. The sedan gets Stage 3 ECU remapping, which makes this one of the rarest cars in the country to run on this tune. In India, Stage 3 engine vehicles are quite difficult to maintain and also quite tough to customize, which is the major reason for them being a rarity.
