Skoda Enyaq RS Race Concept Revealed: Ultra-Lightweight Biocomposite EV Hits 0–62 MPH in Under 5 Seconds.
Skoda has officially revealed its refreshed Enyaq RS Race Concept, a bold reinterpretation of last year’s electric race car. The latest iteration aligns with the facelifted Enyaq Coupe RS while incorporating innovative bio-composite materials to enhance performance and sustainability.
One of the most significant upgrades to this concept is its shift from traditional carbon fiber to flax-based bio-composites, reducing weight by an impressive 316 kg. These materials have been integrated across multiple body panels, including the roof, fenders, bumpers, doors, and even the rear wing. The weight reduction has enabled a quicker acceleration, with the 0-100 kmph sprint now achieved in just 4.6 seconds, down from the previous 5.5 seconds.

Race-Tuned Suspension and Aerodynamic Refinements
Skoda has made crucial mechanical changes to optimize race performance. The RS Race Concept sits 70 mm lower than the standard Enyaq Coupe RS, while the front and rear tracks have been widened by 72 mm and 116 mm, respectively. The adaptive suspension has been replaced with race-spec components, while carbon-ceramic brakes ensure superior stopping power.
From a design standpoint, the car adopts an aggressive rally-inspired livery complemented by extended aero elements similar to Skoda’s motorsport division. The Tech Deck front fascia and split headlamp setup remain, maintaining the signature Skoda aesthetic while adding purposeful enhancements.
