Skoda is celebrating 40 years of its RS sports models, as the anniversary of the original Skoda 180 and 200 RS variants approaches.
The Czech carmaker built its first RS models in 1974 to conquer European motorsport, with a particular focus on rallying. Unsurprisingly, the ‘RS’ abbreviation stands for ‘Rally Sport’.
The 200 RS was powered by a 2.0 litre engine with an overhead camshaft producing 120kW, able to propel the RS to a top speed of 210 km/h.
