By incorporating the very latest Common Rail diesel technology, this new Skoda Superb model is even more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly than the 2.0 TDI PD 140bhp it replaces. Combined fuel consumption has improved by 4.4mpg and is now an outstanding 52.3mpg, while CO2 emissions have been reduced by 12g/km to just 143g/km. The standard diesel particulate filter (DPF) also ensures compliance with the latest EU5 emissions regulations.

The Skoda Tudor study is particularly intended to demonstrate the creative capacities of Skoda. It was derived from Skoda’s largest model, the Skoda Superb. The dynamic elements of the Superb design have been emphasised and magnified in the Skoda Tudor study.

Skoda Tudor is built on the same chassis used for the `koda Superb. A lowering of the chassis and suspension characteristics modified for sporty handling improve driving characteristics. The sporty character is further emphasised by the power unit. A V6 engine that is the most powerful power unit available under the bonnet of a Skoda Superb. The engine drives the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The car is equipped with all the currently used electronic stabilisation systems including ESP.

Winnetou Skoda was build in 1968. With S-4 OHV / 8 valves total / 2 valves per cylinder engine type, sized at 988 ccm it was able to deliver 51.0 bhp @5000 rpm and 78.0 Nm (58 lbft) @3000 rpm of torque.

The engine specifications, body aerodynamics and weight to power ratio produce a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph)

It took Skoda more than four years and two concept studies, but Volkswagen’s Czech subsidiary finally managed to unveil the production version of the Yeti at this week’s Geneva Salon. When it goes on sale across Europe this summer, the Yeti compact SUV will be Skoda’s fifth model competing against rivals such as the Ford Kuga, Toyota RAV4 and even VW’s very own Tiguan.
Skoda’s designers kept close to the original concept in terms of styling though they did replace the hidden rear door handles with conventional ones. Compared to its rivals, the 4.2 metre long, five-door vehicle looks less robust and more ‘crossoverish’.
