Skoda 130RS Coupé || 8.500Rpm Rear Engined Classic Monster

This Rare machine is a Skoda 130RS and was once referred to as the "Porsche of the Est" thanks to its Rear-Engined, Rear Wheel Drive layout. Powered by a 1.3L Naturally Aspirated, 4 cylinder motor using Twin Weber Carburettors, it is capable of 190Hp/8.500Rpm to move only 825Kg.
This one is driven by Jiri Kubicek and on Gorjanci Hillclimb it was faster than a lot of more modern machinary, all while being the fastest Classic Car present at the event.

More cars like this, please and thank you!

[@joe125ful]

Agreed!

[@kayjdm4340]

You know the car is amazing when you can still hear the intake noise from the rear

[@EugVR6]

Ive seen one of these with a 200hp all steel mass x flow fitted, all space framed, very very fast. ...nice job

[@bigkeg9173]

Never seen anything like that before but I'm in Australia. We never had Skoda until early 90s I think. Closest to that would be a Simca 😁

[@adamdooch6250]

In the 60s and 70s we had some brought in to Australia but they weren't extremely popular. I've got a 1976 s110 sedan that was sold new in Australia.

190hp from 1.3 n/a ??

Skoda-Simply clever.

[@stiligru8468]

thats old racing engine

[@koivis87]

There is no way this engine has 190 hp, i'd say max 140-150, if it still has the original OHV 1.3. Either that, or it revs way way higher than 8500 rpm.

[@joe125ful]

Maybe max tuned,so its not imposible 190 Hp if have 100Hp in 7250 Rpm stock engine..but on one page i see detail info about this car and have around 95Kw max power.

Geez, seems to be on rails

[@josecortez5213]

Tiny beast!

[@dyslexiusmaximus]

What a fucking sick car

[@gothicpagan.666]

These are what the Hillman Imp/ Sunbeam Stiletto should of evolved into. Having the extra 300 cc makes a world of differance when it comes to ease of driving. Though in race trim a imp can give 120 bhp@ around 8500rpm from 1000cc.
For the Skoda to give 190 bhp it will be 1.6 Ltrs with the works x-flow head and every thing else that goes with it, 45mm Webbers etc. Even then thats a lot. The works group B cars gave an honest 130 hp.
I've been lucky enough to have dyno'd a few over the years

[@johnturbo7714]

Sweet handling car

[@jirinohavica7024]

Yes🎉🎉🎉

[@marcelocruz1361]

190Hp from a 1.3? Wow! On other note, what is it with lots of companys using the RS badge? To me RS means Ford :p

[@ducedevlstear2471]

Marcelo Cruz well, as you said ... For you.

[@marcelocruz1361]

I didn't mean to sound like an idiot. Sorry if that's what it sounded like. I'm just more of a classic Ford guy so it just pops in my mind when I see those two letters. Btw, does RS mean something for Skoda? For example, for Ford it means Rallye Sport (I think).

[@surprisingskodaskoda9355]

145 hú in 1974

[@alexino7239]

@@marcelocruz1361 SKODA used RS before east block collapsed so after confrontation with FORD factory they are using now terminology VRS.

[@dyslexiusmaximus]

You don't see many of them

[@joe125ful]

Bcease its rare in my country.

[@euromissiles2877]
