Škoda Motorsport presents the latest version of its recently unveiled, all-electric racing car concept: the new Enyaq RS Race. The concept car builds on the Czech brand's rich motorsport heritage and continues it with a focus on developing innovative technologies and sustainable materials. It thus also serves as a pilot project for future production models. Featuring a wider track and lower ground clearance than its production counterpart, the Enyaq Coupé RS, the concept car utilizes numerous components made from innovative, sustainable biocomposite materials. These achieve comparable stiffness and weight advantages to carbon fiber materials and contribute significantly to the fact that the concept car weighs over 300 kilograms less than the new, production Škoda Enyaq Coupé RS on which it is based.

00:00Already after first sketches was possible to see that our ENIAC RS Race will be very sporty
00:05and this was a task for our engineering to be as close as possible to our current Fabia RS
00:11Ready 2 concerning handling and interior. And I think we've done it quite well.
00:17The car has reinforced body shell and integrated safety frame
00:21just like in our competition car according to the current FIA regulations.
00:30We have focused carefully on the handling. The basic power tray layout including the battery and the power
00:35is identical to the production car. We have added a hydraulic handbrake, front and rear self-locking
00:41differential and few other competition bits. The goal was also to significantly reduce the weight.
00:48We save a lot on inside components and on unsprung brake and wheel mass.
00:53We also achieved big weight savings by using sustainable flux-based composite materials.
00:59Their production process is similar to that of carbon composite but they are entirely natural based.
01:04That is the key to the ENIAC RS Race project as we are moving towards sustainable motorsport by
01:10developing and testing these materials. We use them on the roof, fenders and sills.
01:17The ENIAC RS Race is a great example how ŠKODA Motorsport is bringing emotions to our RS road models.
01:24I think it will be really fun to drive.
