At this year's GTI meeting at Lake Wörthersee , Skoda will present the world premiere of the attractive Yeti Xtreme rally study , which is based on the popular compact SUV. Next to it, we will also see the CitiJet convertible .
At the front, the Yeti Xtreme received a massive bumper, a large air intake and also LED headlights. The concept shows off its muscles with distinctly shaped fenders and massive sills. At the rear, the power and dynamics are confirmed by a massive bumper and two large exhaust tips , which give the car a solid sound. There is a spare wheel and so-called Recovery Tracks in the luggage compartment. These are special traction pads that can be slipped under the wheels when they get stuck in the sand and facilitate recovery. Painted in a matte gray shade , the Yeti sits on 17- inch alloy wheels with large all-terrain tires. The side windows are dark, the roof and rims of the wheels are highlighted in yellow-green .
For the crew, there are four individual Recaro sports seats with integrated four-point seat belts. The car is also equipped with a sports steering wheel with integrated gear selector levers. The Color&Trim package includes carbon elements and high-quality dark Alcantara surfaces with a green color accent. In addition, the car also features aluminum pedals and special door sills. The interpretation of the central panel is completely new, in it we can find, among other things, a knife for cutting seat belts and a fire extinguisher – that is, elements usual in competition cars. There is also an iPad holder on the dashboard, and a first aid kit is integrated in the compartment in front of the passenger seat.
Under the hood is a 1.8 TSI engine with a capacity of 152 hp. Engine torque is transmitted to all wheels via a six-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission. Its maximum of 250 Nm is available from 1500 to 4200 rpm. The Yeti Xtreme accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 192 km/h. The Yeti Xtreme adopted the generously sized brakes from the Octavia RS . A height-adjustable chassis is used for demanding sports use.
