Breaking 5 Speed Records In A Skoda Fabia - Fifth Gear 

Not a good show for goodyear was it........

They were Dunlop tbf but

I wouldn't even trust Dunlop on a wheelbarrow.

When I saw the tyres installed, and before knowing what would happen, I was thinking that I would have choose something different.

OEM Dunlop sport maxx

M.G. Metro turbo !

Because Metros are actually not bad cars

Well if you've seen how they fold in a 40mph impact then you'd understand why the thought of doing 120mph in one is so terrifying! You'd also better hope it was bone dry on the day of the test, they'd go rusty if you so much as sneezed on them lol!

Just to let you know how good these little cars were ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bwvDFvLiIqQ.html

That was average so it was at some point over that!!

Was about to say just that. You are not wrong.

You are right. May be this cut was only inserted for dramatizing reasons. It's all fake/show.

Dexter Treehorn i doubt its fake, it was just a mistake. i highly doubt they would purposely do that and make him go over 120mph for 40 minutes, he could have lost control and died

At 4:!* it was a borrowed wheel so never used.

me too ,i have 2011 model ,still a beauty and runs like a fucking horse.

Well it has a soundgenerator if you didnt knew :D

Srinivas Aston mines got the same engine, sounds awesome

VxO4fame mine had a sound generator... was called a milltek exhaust

ThatGuyNamedScott. C how does sound generator work outside the car?

I know its weird me asking but how quite is it when driving on the motorway. Is it quite load or is it surprisingly quiet?

£1 in the jar

@@H4rshi3 would that not be for an Alfa?

Ohhhh I see what you did there. Very funny.

TheTwister3000 I hope you get a terrible night’s sleep.. (Family friendly)

Josh Bacon Hot as expensive to buy or insurance?

Dan B Yes, hot as in performance.

My college has one, the Monte Carlo it has 95 bhp. That ist the biggest engine you can have in austria......

@@julinator1020 Hi my Fabia monte carlo tech is 105 bhp on a 1.2Tsi, shame they don't make 1.4 version anymore in the UK.

Its way more expensive

Dylan Ch'ng 1.4

Richard VaasOne I think this actually is from 2010, just reuploaded for RU-vid

Honestly, is there ANY upside to a low profile tire?

The Rolling Troll wanna be lookd

@@rollingtroll Looks good 😀 But for REAL use, high profile is THE way to go. Always buy new tyres for any high speed use, though.

It's just a rebadged Volkswagen.

@@WarningSign1000 xDDD

@@WarningSign1000 lol

Too bad you can't even import one to the US !

kevin6666123 just looks good on paper

Skoda, tesla doesn t have range.

How many miles is the track. Tesla s is reported to be between 310 and 335, that's independent tests as well

Eddie Oliver range is poor at high speeds, and performance gets limited too if you go too quickly for too long

battery heat might be a problem

i dont think so, I am pretty sure that a combustion engine, that is based on burning generates more heat than a battery, where heat is jsut secondary product. However, I am not sure how well are those batteries cooled. I would be surprised if Tesla havent had thinked about that though.

Because the tyre block doesn't heat up as much.

Aled Long That's dynamic weight reduction, bro.

I'm not alright with that. A car you put you muscles into to steer and change gear is a car who's alive. You feel that you give it something and it gives it to you in return. Like it's a co-work. At this point, you kind of "merge" with the car.

Light controls don't mean you don't feel the car. It's also a safety hazard. I'd pretty much like to focus on something else rather than popping my eyes out turning the wheel or shifting gears with two hands. Dunno, I feel that I merge with the car when the controls are light. Otherwise, it's like trying to drive a rock, doesn't move right and certainly does not give anything in return.

Well if you want to put your muscles into work get a Ford Model T, I'm perfectly happy with my Fabia vRS knowing I can floor it at any time and easily eat a sandwich in the other hand as I pass manual competitors ;)

Ri Max Try telling the owner of a muncie rock crusher controls should be feather touch.

It has to be 1.4 engine tho

It all has to be stock. Best option would have probably been to do it somewhere else.

r. decline Ok

Dunlop sport max is what's on there and they are best in class for road use which I'm guessing is what they had to be, road tyres...

Bet your the same guy that bids one pence higher on eBay!

VxO4fame Yeah, but not for 40 minutes.

on rushhour obviously noit but at night or early morning possible

MyRealName and its not a VRS, it's a RS 😑

Native English speakers can't pronounce anything non-english correctly but laugh at you when you mess up an english pronunciation. Oh well

Fredrik Rønhovde in the uk Skoda use the VRS badge since ford have the RS name trademarked

It needs to be stock to beat the record. You fool *xD*

i can't leave any car stock. All needs to be modified lol.

BaTu Yellowspring nope. Bugatti is longer . And with few straights in Germany

BaTu Yellowspring no

Very different dimensions though, the Stilo is lower and wider

Zalan Khan these are recorded years back.

This was from 2010 and recorded for tv, obviously it wasn't recorded at 1080p 60fps

wtf spoiled brad xd ahahah

Ok

"Your camera"? This is British national television :D.

these videos are 7 years old

The record was for engines up to 1.4 liters, there aren't that many cars with that size engine that'll go over 130mph

Yeah indeed. The 1.8L V4 in my Toyota Auris Hybrid can reach 130mph but it's a little strained as it runs already at 3k RPM at that point. It can do a little more but that's not good for the engine. For an 1.4L with turbo's + superchargers to do the same is only really testing the small block. It's just a veyr hard stress test to be honest. I was wondering if the Skoda would have to re-fuel after 100 miles running at top speed ha! They should have at least put on some decent rubber and enhance the suspension. Due to the useless suspension they risked a life.
