Skoda Auto launches the Laura RS edition in India. The launch marks the celebration of Skoda’s 110 years of motorsport heritage and its recent victory of the 2010 IRC championship.
The Laura RS is powered by the same 160bhp 1.8-litre turbo-charged, direct-injection petrol unit in the standard Laura TSI. As for the suspension, the ride height remains the same as the regular TSI, but the springs are stiffer because they have got more coils.
On the visual front, the Laura vRS gets daytime LEDs, different alloy wheels, a spoiler on the boot, a new, more aggressive chin and seven vRS badges stitched and stuck all over the car. It also features Xenon curve projector headlights with dynamic leveling and corner function. The interiors too get a welcome change as the Laura RS comes with sportier part-leather, part-Alcantara front seats, a meatier three-spoke steering wheel and the touch-screen audio system from the L&K variant.
Speaking on the occasion, Thomas Kuehl, Board Member & Director, Sales & Marketing, Skoda Auto India said, “The new Laura RS is a performance oriented product aimed at car enthusiasts who have an emotional connect with their car. Designed to provide maximum driving pleasure through performance and precision, the RS also continues to build on Skoda's reputation for comfort and safety.”
The new Laura RS priced at Rs 15.20 lakh (ex-showroom Maharashtra), will be available in four sporty shades of sprint yellow, race blue, candy white and magic black.
