RE: Skoda Superb 2.0 Laurin

[Arsecati]

Major, major respect for the work that's been done: but as others have said - that price? Just a superquick search on the classifieds has found more than a few 2015 E63's for sale with similar mileage. Want the 'Sleeper' look? Just replace the badges with E220d badges, and just pretend you put an AMG body-kit on it - will look no less a sleeper than this lowered Superb. Again, really do have to applaud the work and thinking behind this - I love the idea, look and power out of it: but that price is just barmy. :/

I really, really like this car but I can't add anything to what's already been said.

At 20k it's a ton of performance and you can see someone falling for its charms. At 35 you'd buy the AMG/M/RS instead.

+1 wholly.

An easy £10K over priced. Someone is chancing their arm there...

As has been said, if i wanted a quick Skoda Superb, i'd buy a used 280 and remap it to 400BHP or whatever is achievable via good map and limited mods.

These are FWD are they not?

Can't imagine what it's like with 560bhp, torque steering all over the place?

Haldex 4wd.

ROFL. Pretty BUSY Haldex 4wd.

You stupid boy. Read.

If you are going to accuse people of being stupid, you'd better have your facts right.

The 2.0 TSi 4x4 has a Haldex system from the factory, so are you saying this one has had the Haldex system replaced by something else? The PH article and the advert it says nothing about this.

I remember seeing this thing clock 177mph at Vmax, whilst outwardly looking completely standard.

As others have said though, I wouldn't exchange £35k of my hard-earned cash for it.

[Francis85]

I would buy one when the price drops at 10k in a couple of years.

Whilst I really admire the work and the concept of the sleeper slayer Skoda, for me there are far too many things that can break due to things (mainly drivetrain) that can go south.

£34k is a lot of money for the risk

Forgive me if this has already been posted, but here is a video of the car.
