It has been many years since Škoda stopped offering more than four-cylinder engines in its models. The Yeti model, sold in 2009-2017, never had one. Nevertheless, there is a piece that has five under the hood. In the UK is for sale for 25,995 pounds, ie 766 thousand crowns.

It is not a special prototype of the Yeti RS, but the result of the work of an enthusiast named Alan in the yeti and in the five-cylinder series. It was clear to him that both the Yeti and the second-generation Audi A3 were on the PQ35 platform. And as the existence of the then Audi RS3 proves, it will accommodate an in-line five-cylinder.

The heart of the unique yeti has, in addition to five cylinders, also a few adjustments towards the five hundred horsepower.

In addition to the engine, this gray yeti also received a gearbox and all-wheel drive from the aforementioned RS 3, as well as brakes and a number of chassis components. In addition to the standard Ingolstadt system, a larger turbocharger, compressed air intercooler, intake and exhaust system, as well as water injection with methanol have been added. The result is 485 horses measured on the engine brake on the wheels.

“Simply put, it’s an animal. I was at Oulton Park on a circuit day and I pushed the skylines just for fun. He can really put a smile on his face, “Alan recalls in a caption on eBay about how the legendary Nissan Skyline failed to drive him on a race track near Liverpool.

The lay eye will not notice small changes, such as a spoiler or two massive tailpipes.

“The car is completely like new and it cost me a fortune to build it. I am selling it only to make room for another project, “he continues. It must be acknowledged that it looks really interesting from the outside – the dark gray color and not very visual modifications make it a “sleeper”, ie a car that is significantly faster than it looks at first glance.

At first glance, the TF51 YET registration plate also looks like an ordinary British brand, but it hides the TFSI engine designation used by Audi and part of the Yeti name, so it is personalized. He will stay on the car.

After all, it would like to finish the interior a little.

It’s no longer such a glory in the interior, it’s not “completely like new” – even though we could missing jokes in a mischievous way these days. It’s mainly about the inaccurately fitting center console and the gear selector backdrop with holes around – both of which look a bit unfinished.

In any case, at the Skoda rally, this car would probably be the only one of its kind. And you would probably get contempt from some rock fans of Mladá Boleslav’s motor races that you come to the Škoda meeting with something that is not even a Škoda, but if there was a bread-breaking, ie a ride, they would probably only be a small dot in your rear view mirror.
