Skoda Octavia WRC full throttle

Rally Acropolis

[@jvh82]

There is almost nothing to see in this video, but when you are used to attend rally events (like me), the sound of an ALS of a rally car and the atmosphere of a WRC driving in normal traffic makes this a good movie!! It makes me think about rally!

[@shitrick]

Straight Power Great sound Nothing better than That Son.

[@asiat30]

I love the "Bang Bang" !!!

[@FeddeVega]

que lindo que suena ese skoda!!

[@konecsvedomi]

škoda... simply clever...

[@supersideways]

@addiboo1234 at least 400,000 euros. Skoda Fabia WRCs now sell for 200,000 . The old 2.0 litre WRC cars used to sell for 300,000 if they were near new (i.e. 2008 Focus last year), so add on a bit more for a brand new one. Then think about spare parts ;)

[@Safabox]

Nice memories

[@hunspikey]

@torbwrc Sorry I was not clear enough. Good street cars (normal tuned cars) need around 6.5 sec for the 60-120 mph acceleration. Which means around 10 secs for the 0-120. This is way faster than a WRC. But the meaning of a WRC is not its acceleration but its unparalelled handling, cornering, braking, and that it can do this all on virtually any terrain. Since you asked Im driving a Mitsubishi EVO6- 475 BHP. ps: the min legal weight of a WRC is 1320 kgs- its a rule.

[@Keegz2k7]

@rally511 the gearbox on an average wrc car is around £20k for a new one... or about £12k for a refurbished one. the wrc's are going for nearly as low as £30k now..

[@filipzanetic]

300 bhp 4wd semi automatic gearbox best car on earth

[@hunspikey]

@creationofsociety - well many turbo charged- tuned rally based car- like evos or stis can beat these since on the street you dont have to use turbo restrictors. WRCs have around max 650Nm torque and 300-320 BHP, where street Mitsubishis or Subarus can have around 700Nm and 450-550 Bhp easily. Now acceleration needs HP so street car would win. The max a WRC could do is to match acceleration until around 60Mhp- it takes about 3-3.5 secs, but then a good street car needs only 6.5 secs till 120mph

[@dunaill1]

anti lag is turned on for the stages! on road section the can switch it off if they want... n the car doesnt go tru as much fuel..

[@filipzanetic]

nice

[@dunaill1]

Many cars with sequential gearboxes produce this noise when changing up the gears, anti-lag produces noise from the turbo, not when they change gear. This car has no turbo but still makes the noise /watch?v=tudvXJ9_VBo&feature=related Anti lag can be turned off by switch. WRC cars have "road mode" and "stage mode". When in "road mode" as in this video the anti-lag is turned off to save fuel, lower turbo temperature etc.

@riezelann128 Rally Acropolis means Greece

[@sdrawkcab96]

Those crazy Czechs I tells ya...

[@torbwrc]

@hunspikey It's not all about outright BHP. Power delivery in a WRC is available from very low RPM due to anti-lag. Combine this with short gear ratios and the fact that they are under 1200KG results in you needing a very special road car to compete with these guys! (up to 120 mph anyway) P.S 6.5 to 120?? what street car do you have? A Veyron takes 7.5 to 120! hehe :P

[@kyiakosnspatra]

a re octavia,ti mou thimises!!!! aksehasta acropolis

[@briandaniels87]

@Standingquiet i never said the octavia has no turbo, i put a link to a video in which a normally aspirated car (no turbo) produces the same noise

[@speedaholic21]

This was after the ceremonial start and just before they got in the national road to Lamia where the race took place...

[@galvai]

good times

[@Keegz2k7]

@Bicko686 switch on the control panel, would just open it up.

[@Rsspecial1]

@rally511 Rally cars are only about 300BHP [easy to tune to that level, once you've got steel conrods the compression can be raised, turbo boost turned up, and fueling matched. That'll give you the 300BHP. Then the gearbox - thats the part that makes the differnce!!! The car itself isnt expensive really - to sell AFTER a rally it'd fetch quite alot. So... do you do this for a living? competition car peperation? No i didnt think so.

[@charmand79]

@whatcorsa Hehehe, although Greek I think your comment was spot on..

[@carinik]

hahah nice.....

[@briandaniels87]

@Bicko686 Flat shift is correct, yes they have anti-lag but why would it be turned on while travelling on the road section?? ps i've competed in a wr car before

[@Markbabb]

@supersideways oh ok thanks

[@Bicko686]

since when flat shift produce bang sound especialy on the turbo wrc car?! they all have anti lag system installed..

[@hunspikey]

@hunspikey Sorry- its 1230 kilogramms- mistyped the numbers.

[@filipzanetic]

@hunspikey and can your evo go from 0-100 kmh in 3,2 s

[@AndyPps]

@filipzanetic 6 speed..only peugeot was 4speed and the 307 not the 206

[@theparsa88]

stage mode on?

[@dunaill1]

No anti-lag there, just flat-shift

[@filipzanetic]

@BriMcIntyre more much more

[@Markbabb]

I always wonder wat is the full price of a real world rally car I been looking for the prices but I cant find any dose any one kno the price for like a citroen ds3

[@Lloydtriescars]

@creationofsociety no road car would ever keep up with him on a rally stage, dont get me wrong rally cars are just about the best thing ever. but alot of cars could probably keep up straight line :)

[@filipzanetic]

@hunspikey wrc car acceleration from 0-100 kmh is 3,2-3,5 no tuned car will be that fast to 100 kmh

[@daniel0164]

LOL at the end of the day, its a SKODA

[@theosiv]

arostia

[@matthewruss]

@creationofsociety not even the evo behind lol

[@Bicko686]

than why is it banging if it's not anti lag?! :/ and how could anti lag be turned off?!

[@891trigfoot]

those east indians are like, the americans are shooting at us again!!!how the hell can they even insure those cars, i guess over there anything goes.

[@Keegz2k7]

@rally511 the cheapest i've seen them is £30,000-$50,000 for an impreza wrc. lol

[@rally511]

@LIP15 what??? only a close ratio gearbox? so a gearbox cost $270,000 USD? A WRC car is much more than that!

[@SevcaCZ]

It seems to me it was Kresta ..

[@rally511]

@Rsspecial1 Go build a WRC car that can compete against the Works WRC cars and come and tell me how much it cost. Do you not see GRP N cars going for over a $100,000USD. Im not talking about a WRC car built in in the 90s either, Im talking about Citroen C4 or a S12B or a 07 Focus.

[@Arty288]

@LIP15 Oh come on, surely you know more than that? ..you do realise that the amazing thing about WRC engines is not the peak BHP which you correctly stated at around 300bhp, but its the torque they produce from their 2.0 engines - try 550ft/lb @ 4000rpm (compare to a Ferrari F430 - 483bhp & 343ft/lb) You do also realise that the combination of weight saving, suspension and body rigidity, shit loads of torque and YES the close ratio box makes them extremely fast all raound.

[@Filiposss2]

And tell me that 1,6 turbo will be as awesome as WRC cars are...

[@masterlyHOLEK555]

Toni Gardemeister???

[@filipzanetic]

I would even like to be run ower by that car
