227 Mph SKODA Octavia vRS Breaks Landspeed Record At Bonneville
Skoda Octavia vRS breaks official record to become the fastest 2.0-litre forced induction production car ever built hitting an incredible 227.070 mph on legendary Bonville salt flats – and yes, it was running a radiator built and designed at Concept Racing.

On Friday 19 August at 07:45am, a ŠKODA Octavia vRS officially became the world’s fastest 2.0-litre supercharged production car in the world when the 600 bhp ‘salt spec’ racer – built to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the iconic vRS performance flagship badge – registered a Southern California Timing Association (SCTA) sanctioned speed of 227.070 mph on Utah’s legendary Bonneville Salt Flat.
The modified production Octavia vRS hatch, prepared by ŠKODA UK, smashed the previous record for a 2.0-litre forced induction production car at this year’s Bonneville Speed Week (13-19 August), registering an impressive official record speed of 227.080 mph.
The previous record for what is known as the G/PS category was 216 mph, set in August 1998.
Driven by journalist Richard Meaden, the Octavia had set impressive speeds throughout the week breaking the 200 mph barrier on six previous runs.
The Octavia’s record breaking runs consisted of two official runs of Bonneville’s famous five-mile course at 225.513 mph on Thursday 18 August, and a return run at 228.647 mph on Friday 19 August.
The Milton Keynes based ŠKODA UK team behind the racer had spent the week leading up to Speed Week putting the car through a rigorous dyno programme with the assistance of performance software and tuning outfit specialist REVO Technik.
Daytime temperatures on the Bonneville Salt Flats typically exceed 40C (104F). The Concept Racing built radiator stood up to the test, helping to keep engine temperatures down to achieve the record.

At Concept Racing we offer a specialist welding service for magnesium, titanium, aluminium and alloy steels / stainless. We were recently asked to carry out repairs to a 1950′s Grand Prix car sump, block and head. The block and the head are aluminium, the sump is magnesium. As you can see it was a pretty big hole!

Renault 4CV fuel tank
We are lucky to have lots of lovely cars coming into the workshop. Everyone has their own opinion on them but it’s rare to get a car in that everyone just loves. John Arnold’s 1951 Renault 4CV seems to have taken this spot. John says that “Reggie” (the car) is the equivalent to a cute puppy at races – all the girls come and talk to him! The car came in for a custom fuel tank to be made and fitted in time for Classic Le Man.
