The fastest time I managed was 8 seconds. There is a timer which begins the moment you hit the "I" key and ends when you hit the no. "5" key.

You are right to assume that it is not legit. I managed several times to complete the task ranging from 8 to 16 seconds and every time it said that I completed 100% in 6.6 seconds.

My 2 cents: This is the power of marketing. A simple ad campaign got everybody hooked and people started posting screengrabs including myself commenting on the thread. This thread started with people complaining about the ad itself but later started posting results.
That's the intention of any campaign, to reach majority of people and create some sort of buzz.

Are you referring to the first model year or just the first batch of vehicles which will be rolling out. Assuming its built in India for 25L, i think it not be a limited run like vRS 245.

Also how can Skoda sell all of those vehicles without publishing any info to the public or any news in the media.
