470bhp Skoda Superb Sleeper Review | One of the best cars of 2024

[@CARmagazineTV]

Would you buy a modified Skoda Superb? 😯

[@cathalmccionnaith8268]

@@CARmagazineTV Deffo, no questions asked! I have had a mondeo titanium x sport, every bell and whistle ford could put on it, it got it, it was an ex press car, 2008 for the mondeo release, not a single sweek or rattle, it's a total beauty, driver modes, adaptive cruise, collision avoidance etc etc etc .....love driving it....I've no doubt skoda will have done an exceptional job on this car, like Ford did !

[@urbanstrencan]

O yeah 👍

[@vitormvpinto]

Hell yes!

[@crisscaseflows]

Yes

[@paulfixdivcars5614]

100%…..understated and definitely sheep in wolves clothing!

[@urbanstrencan]

This is the ultimate sleeper, Škoda should made it production model, or at least use it to make dedicated police interceptors for Europe 🤟🤟😍 James great video keep it up and all the best in 2025

[@owenmcdonald5922]

It wouldn't be as manic as this, but Skoda could do a Superb VRS with the Golf R engine.

[@Birmingham_racing]

Already has a golf r engine

[@hcvhcvhcvhcv]

That will never happen because of Arteon R, VW is not going to allow it.

[@THEDOPEYDAISY]

It’s already got the Golf R engine, that’s got a slightly different map.

[@philmanton7829]

Big up Ricky@REPerformance. Guys a genuine.

[@herbbert82]

Reminds me of Alpina, refining those BMW.

[@tomasjonsson6383]

I have an exact similar one. Running brembo, same changes and öhlins. I have some more power. Swedish bsrab pulls out plus 700 fr this engine.

[@StephenButlerOne]

I do love the police man wasnt bothered about your speed, he just geeked out about the car.

[@ALMX5DP]

Heck I’d take that without the incredible power. Just looks good and like it handles super well which is more of what I’d be interested in for my daily driver estate.

[@Blaa_Boi]

VW hold Skoda back sometimes, this being a case in point. The RS Badge has been put to nearly every Skoda from the Fabia, Octavia, Kodiaq and Enyaq. Sure theres the Sportsline version in the Superb, but with the new generation theres the opportunity for an RS Superb with 330-350BHP.

[@malsmith2012]

Absolutely agree. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

[@51StPi]

It’s VW holding back as usual, this would half Audi sales.

[@domas.sakala]

Ryan reaction is top class 😂

[@eltonwelsby787]

I've often fantasised about being Adrian Zmed.

[@malsmith2012]

SKODA PLEASE sell these in Australia.. Take my money..

[@kingtubbyleeperry]

Great car, I ❤ my 2021 Superb Sportline IV.

[@momanapori4986]

That’s beautiful love Skoda! Wait till you take her on the autobahn open her up!

[@bblair2627]

haha that Copper interaction was brilliant 🤣

[@leonardbreach3431]

so this still uses the standard DSG transmission, it will pack up before it's 1st service fluid change...

[@diljitjedi]

Yes you're probably right I think it will as well I should have put a zf8 speed in there

[@mtdteedee2856]

One of the best VW’s 👍

[@stubailey9433]

Love it! Great review.

[@michaelsummerell8618]

This is what is missing from the modern line up of fast Audi's - subtlety and discreet road presence. Just because you want a fast estate doesn't mean you want to draw attention or a vulgar looking car.

[@constructionbootgazer]

I’d say this is what’s missing from the current North American VW lineup. I would kill for a superb vrs, golf r wagon, arteon r wagon, or even an s4 avant.

[@sickbozzer]

@@constructionbootgazerbut nobody (aside from enthusiasts) would buy them, so they make no sense financially for the company to sell them there

[@lyssword]

I love wagons!

[@DavidDatura]

Wonderful car! I’m a big fan of contemporary Škoda. Still, I don’t think 1.6 tons is light, even by today’s standards.

[@Birmingham_racing]

Golf's weight about 1400kg and this is size of a a6. Tell me what's the weight of a Quattro a6?

[@DavidDatura]

@ don’t know, but I’d rather have this over one of those.

[@ghostinthemachine76]

@@Birmingham_racing Or a new M5, well over 2 tonnes.

[@DavidEdghill-or4ti]

Awesome, what can One say, Simply Klever, yes please! 😊

[@mizake01]

Bro checked mirrors for police man changing his mind 🤣 Universal car-fanatic body language.

[@MiniEggs1999]

Superb Scout or Passat All track would be the ultimate sleeper

[@Sha-Ayo]

This will be the next Audi RS4 and people will start complaining because its 4 cylinder

[@ianmichaelbryant2643]

just now and again something about James reminds me of Alan Partidge, no offence James - love your reviews :)

[@alfamonk]

love me a sleeper, but this is like Grandad's slippers. Bit too Werthers original

[@CARmagazineTV]

😂

[@-DC-]

That's the point

[@sterlingsilver320]

That's the best part!

[@cathalmccionnaith8268]

For sale ??

[@boogboog8097]

You can have it done he tells you the Tuner name

[@ShadyRiver-xu7kc]

cant believe you filmed a rabbit with Mixi lol

[@robertmessam103]

I really like royal green

[@markfranks1329]

Shhhhh-koda! 🙂👍

[@keysersoze7876]

Why not base it on Sportline trim which is much sportier and better looking from outside and inside?

[@CARmagazineTV]

Because then it’s not a sleeper.

[@keysersoze7876]

@CARmagazineTV Why?

[@EtonieE25]

@@CARmagazineTV👍

[@leobuckey]

I live in the states but please build it so I can buy it in 25 years 🙏🏻😅

[@honeyisaac]

Superb RS is plenty 🤤

[@boogboog8097]

Should only cost about 15k for the mods but by the time you bought the skoda + mods it's close to RS4 money

[@Metal05]

The late brake show said £18K when they did a review on the same car.

[@James-ld2jc]

Want one

[@wrxra1]

The rabbit at the beginning is suffering from myxomatosis, a virus introduced by man to control the European rabbit population. It is fatal. The rabbit is not running away because it is blind due to its eyes swelling. It will die within 48 hours from fluid in its lungs. Probably not the best inclusion in a panning shot to introduce the car. Maybe an edit required. I'm sure you were unaware.

[@philiptownsend4026]

What a disgustingly cruel way to dispose of a perceived problem. All lives matter and all creatures deserve a happy life.

[@Metal05]

Whilst I love a fast estate, (I have an Audi A6 Avant quattro ) you purchase the car for around £23k, then £18k for the conversion? That’s crazy money for a Skoda. Because you have to pay for the conversion in cash, and couldn’t put it on a pcp.

[@didley3211]

That's why the police interceptors use these as unmarked cars

[@mochabear88]

ty

[@charlesdoumani8180]

Dated very quickly.

[@lewemooke]

Only 6 months late to post the video about it though lol

[@lechprotean]

why so much praise - slapping a huge turbo to a tiny engine will give the required HP on paaper, but you will only get it at high RPM, so lighter cars with less HP will outrun this at traffic lights and let's face it's still a bit of a heavy hog to drive. Compare it to say m340i or M3 and see how it compares in accelleration and handling

[@CARmagazineTV]

You should drive one and find out!

[@abobobilly]

1:30 - stopped listening and watching. One off Skoda. That 470bhp really made me second guess my next car decision. But nah.

[@Vulpi77]

What it was doing that rabbit 🐇🐰 over there wired

[@asatrv]

wasn das fürn Kombi?

[@francodossena6850]

Why?

[@Simmsited236]

You're a bit late to the party with this one. I must've seen 3 or 4 kids on it already. Cool car though

[@davidhayes4814]

A modified Superb Estate at 470 bhp would be virtually uninsurable …. Legitimately. If Skoda were to have produced this spec of car, it would have been very expensive ….. the standard L&K 280 PS was already pricey.

[@EtonieE25]

Plus the new UK car tax in 2025 will probably be £1,000 - £1,200 per year on top of the insurance 🤔

[@simsnqta]

Oveprised boring cars.

[@171rossi]

Skoda should stick to Taxis!

[@Birmingham_racing]

Why?

[@Vulpi77]

Then it's not Skoda

[@Birmingham_racing]

Why not?
