Skoda has unveiled a unique version of its outgoing Mk3 Superb Estate in the UK, called the 'Sleeper Edition'.



The new Skoda Superb Sleeper Edition offers the unassuming appearance of the standard model but with a bunch of mechanical and performance upgrades underneath.



The Superb Sleeper Edition is based on the top-spec 'L&K 4x4' variant with the 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. However, the powertrain has been upgraded to put out a whopping 470 BHP and 661 Nm; instead of 270 BHP and 350 Nm on the standard model. This has been achieved via a comprehensive engine upgrade, a larger Garrett Powermax turbocharger and a bigger intercooler. In addition, Skoda has also revised the fuel system, along with a bespoke exhaust downpipe and centre section while the factory-fitted exhaust box is retained to ensure the sleeper look.



The Superb Sleeper Edition also gets new KW coilover suspension and AP Racing disc brakes with bright red six-pot calipers. The upgraded suspension reduces the estate's ground clearance by 50mm - the only giveaway from the standard model.



The Sleeper Edition is said to be a one-off model and comes finished in a Royal Green Metallic paint scheme with Cognac leather upholstery on the inside. The car will not be offered to the public as it is just aimed to celebrate the Mk3 Superb.

While I have a soft spot for Estates (wish we had those in India), that color is just something special

Whatever they call it (Royal Green, British Bottle Green, etc), any car with that color seems awesome - Jaguars, BMWs, Aston Martin and now this

Reminds me of that mental Superb 280 .

Wonder if they have plonked an Audi TFSI engine into it to get that much power.

From this TopGear article, it seems it is based on Skoda's own 2.0 TSI with modifications by UK engineering firm RE Performance.

Very unpretentious of Skoda to call it a Sleeper Edition instead of a hyped up performance edition and a Skoda to cross 300bhp in recent memory.
I didn't think that the outgoing edition was still sold in European markets.

This seems to be a one off model built by Skoda to celebrate the success of the 3rd gen Superb.

Good PR (as it will join the press fleet) to showcase the Superb's potential. More details here;

This looks wonderful, I'm sure it will perform wonderfully. Today the normal Superb is costing around 67-68 lacs on road Bangalore. I've a feeling that if Skoda India releases this in India, it will touch 90lacs-1cr on road price. Which is M340i territory with a V6. Looks like these models sole purpose is to give us a feeling that other luxury cars(say Audi) are carrying better VFM.
