The new concept car serves as a pilot project and incorporates ideas for future production cars, including sustainable and lightweight materials.

Škoda Motorsport has unveiled the Enyaq RS Race, an all-electric racing car concept based on the Enyaq Coupé vRS production model. The concept car showcases innovative technologies and sustainable materials, serving as a pilot project for future production models.

The Enyaq RS Race features a lower and wider body compared to its production counterpart, incorporating biocomposite parts made from flax fibers. These sustainable materials provide similar rigidity and weight advantages as carbon fiber while reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 85%. The use of these materials, along with other weight-saving measures, has resulted in a 316 kg weight reduction compared to the standard Enyaq Coupé vRS.

“The Škoda Enyaq RS Race was developed completely in-house by Škoda Motorsport,” said Johannes Neft, Škoda Auto Board Member for Technical Development. “Based on the Enyaq Coupé vRS production model, the car features a distinctive design with strong racing DNA, enhanced aerodynamics and excellent acceleration.”

The concept car retains the electric powertrain from the production model but includes numerous modifications for racing performance. These include a redesigned aerodynamics package, a high-performance braking system, and a specially developed sports suspension. The interior has been stripped down and fitted with racing seats, a roll cage, and other safety features derived from the Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 rally car.

Škoda Motorsport collaborated with partner Bcomp to develop the sustainable biocomposite parts, which are used in both the bodywork and interior. The concept also features extensive use of 3D-printed components made from recycled materials.

The Enyaq RS Race can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in under five seconds and has a top speed of 112 mph (180 km/h). It is equipped with a Havas premium sound system that delivers an amplified motorsport sound experience.

The project, which began development in 2023, represents Škoda’s commitment to sustainable innovation in motorsport and production vehicles.
