At the top of the performance scale: top scores for the Skoda Scala

DTE Systems is already optimizing the most powerful gasoline engine in Skoda’s new family hatchback

Longer, wider and much more distinctive: The new Skoda Scala outplays its predecessor in all dimensions. Albeit on the same platform as Polo and A1, the Scala is longer than its brothers. So far, only the engine line-up and the performance are the same among the VW family. However, with the chip tuning products by DTE Systems, the Skoda Scala now overtakes its corporate brothers.
