Skoda Octavia RS 5E

The Skoda Octavia RS 5E reaches 60 mph in 5.95 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.47 s, tripping the lights at 97.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.32 s and the eighth mile in 9.38 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Octavia RS 5E

The 2013 Skoda Octavia RS 5E is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,350 kg with 217 bhp, which works out at 161 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.32 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,925th quickest to 60 mph, and the 5th quickest of the 22 Skodas here. Its 97.3 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Skoda Octavia RS 5E is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
