Škoda Enyaq RS Race

2. května 2024

Here are the first sketches of the new fully electric motorsport concept car. But Enyaq RS Race is not just a design study. It is the next step to sustainability with strong racing influence.

Powered by an all-wheel electric drive from Enyaq RS Coupé, it will have a widened and lowered chassis, different shock absorbers and 20-inch wheels with low-profile tyres. For aerodynamic reasons, the concept will include redesigned bumpers and wider mudguards, a new rear diffuser and a large downforce wing at the back.

Inside, it will feature a safety frame and two sports seats like a true racing car. The interior design will be lightened or changed as well.

Sustainability is a cornerstone of Škoda Motorsport’s strategy. As early as 2021, we ventured into the realm of electric rally cars with the Škoda Fabia RE-X1. The insights and expertise we gained from this have fed into the unique new Škoda Enyaq RS Race. This fascinating car proves that motorsport, which is deeply embedded in Škoda’s DNA, not only enhances the brand’s emotional impact but also contributes valuable experiences and technologies to upcoming Škoda road models.

The Škoda Enyaq RS Race is not a design study that will just remain on paper; it is going to be a real car. It will be lower, wider, lighter and most importantly more dynamic. So, it was clear from the start that the design had to be aggressive with strong racing DNA. Looking at the aerodynamics, we actually designed it similar to the current Škoda Fabia RS Rally2. It has a sharply sculpted nose, dramatically widened fenders and a massive rear wing. It looks fast, even on paper, and that’s always a good start.

The Enyaq RS Race will become a fully functional car with high ambitions as an ideal platform for the development and real-world testing of the latest technologies for future battery-electric production vehicles.
