The Enyaq RS Race crossover is equipped with a set of biocomposite components made from flax fibers. They serve as a "pilot for future production models" and have the same stiffness and weight advantages as carbon fiber. Škoda didn’t skimp - the bumpers, fenders, roof, and rear spoiler are made of lightweight material. Biocomposite components can also be found inside on the dashboard, door panels, and sill covers.
Weight savings don’t end here - the concept is also fitted with polycarbonate windows. Thanks to all these changes, the conceptual vehicle is 316 kg lighter than the production Enyaq Coupé RS.

The new Enyaq RS Race features a wide body kit with aggressive bumpers, new air intakes, and fenders. It also adds an aerodynamically optimized roof, a massive diffuser, minimalist side mirrors, and 20-inch OZ Racing wheels. These are supported by a carbon-ceramic brake system with 10- and 4-piston calipers.
Given that this is a racing concept, it’s no surprise to see an almost empty interior. However, there is still space for a 5-inch digital instrument panel and a 13-inch multimedia system display.
To this, a quick-release steering wheel, safety cage, and Atech bucket seats with six-point safety belts are added. There is also an automatic fire extinguishing system and a Havas sound system that emits "motorsport sounds" at speeds over 30 km/h.
To ensure handling on par with the Fabia RS Rally2, the concept has an optimized chassis and adjustable sport suspension with unique springs and dampers. Other features include a hydraulic handbrake, front and rear limited-slip differentials, and a reduced ground clearance of 70 mm.
A dual-motor all-wheel-drive system is thought to have been carried over from the production model, developing 340 hp (250 kW). This allows the concept to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than five seconds before reaching a top speed of 180 km/h.
