Skoda Superb III 4x4 - A sleeper’s journey – 280ps to 560ps

[pixelatedJH]

I love it. What a mad project. Some making comparisons to a standard C63 in terms of price... I think that makes this look good value.

[Resolutionary]

Forget a C63 / XFR - those are intended to be fast and luxurious, and used prices compliment that. I didn't even realise the Superb was available with AWD, and the journey here is so, so much more impressive than 'I bought an obviously fast car and added an exhaust'.

Brilliant build and executed to a very high standard. If this makes it to the 'badly modified cars' thread I'll leave PH.

Love this sleeper, getting an itch to start tuning mine now.

Sorry, having owned countless debadged M5's, AMG wagons, RS6's in my opinion this is off the scale desirable - I don't know anything about modifying cars, but to me the end result appears to be utterly hilarious and cool. Especially like the Greenline badge.

You Sir are an absolute hero!

That custom exhaust looks like thing of beauty too

[Bobberoo99]

You sir are absolutely the right kind of bonkers nutter this country needs!!! Love the TDI greenline badge too!!

Well played, that looks like good fun.

I love the way it's so discrete and everyday usable.

Maybe you ought to offer to do some consultancy work for Skoda GB?

[House86]

Awesome work, the 0-60 time is really impressive, would upset a few Supercars im sure

[AlexHat]

This is a ridiculous car....I love it! . Must make for some interesting overtakes with the family onboard.

I suspect they are used to and probably enjoy it.

Fantastic!

I've got the Mk2 3.6 V6 4x4 estate and would love to give it some additional oomph (and noise).

Seems to be very little in the way of performance products, e.g. exhaust systems, for the car on the market though. A few offering generic remaps.

If anyone's got any pointers to companies who offer stuff in the UK, I'd be interested.

HPA offer lots of options on the 3.6 engines right up to Superchargers & Turbochargers here's the link:

Take a look at what HPA did to the 3.6 engine:

Now while they may not be in the UK they warranty their parts & I have a few friends that have used their products with great success & if they're anything like Weistec you can always give them a call.

Absolutely brilliant!

Out of interest - how long do you expect the engine/gearbox to last at this state of tune?

[Leins]

Nice work that man!

[Dr G]

I would like to take this home to the 'grandad car' comments then watch the wife's face under full throttle

Epic. Full marks to you, sir.

[BigChiefmuffinAgain]

Simply wonderful ! By any chance, can you give a rough idea what it costs to insure ?

[AmosMoses]

What a machine, love it. Properly mad.

[justinio]

Well played sir, well played.

[wile7]

Fantastic and enjoyable thread....stunning car.

I have the 3.6 3T awd estate (Embrach Swiss edition - also on Briskoda) and will be looking at those links to scratch the upgraditus itch.

If I can touch 300bhp that'll suit me....but a 280 estate could be a fun option (but I just love the non-turbo 3.6 lump).

Well done mate - cracking car!

Engine is fully forged so hopefully a long time. Gearbox has been used on 700+ tuned Golf R's without issues but I have a spare in storage just in case
