Volkswagen Group’s Skoda and EVO magazine made the slightly sideways call to enter the legendary Bonneville Speed Week in a 600+bhp Octavia VRS.. of all things!

We have the brought together all of the behind the scene vids of contributing Editor, Richard Meaden as they made their way step by step towards the final challenge. To break the 200mph/320kph barrier.

Now there is a challenge we would take on! Maybe a joint trip with Fuel Magazine next year… need to choose our weapon now though. Cadillac Wagon anyone?
