Skoda Collaborates With Sitar Player Rishabh Sharma For Octavia RS Film
Skoda Auto India has unveiled a creative collaboration that brings together art and engineering. The brand has teamed up with global sitar player Rishabh Rikhiram Sharma to create a short film that captures the harmony between soulful music and the power of the Skoda Octavia RS India 2025. The film celebrates the return of the performance sedan to India in a truly artistic fashion.
A Symphonic Collaboration
The film showcases how the rhythm of Sharma’s sitar complements the Octavia RS’s dynamic energy on the racetrack. Ashish Gupta, Brand Director at Skoda Auto India, said the collaboration reflects how heritage and innovation can coexist beautifully. He called it a tribute to the precision and emotion that define both the musician and the car. The Octavia RS film highlights Skoda’s creative vision, blending performance and passion through music.
The Artist’s Perspective
Rishabh Sharma shared that performing for this project was a unique experience. For him, both music and driving demand focus, rhythm, and passion. Capturing this connection on a racetrack allowed him to express serenity and speed in one powerful performance, defining the essence of the Skoda Octavia RS collaboration.
The Power Behind the Performance
Under the hood, the Skoda Octavia RS packs a 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged petrol engine that produces 265 hp and 370 Nm of torque. It comes paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission, enabling a 0–100 km/h sprint in just 6.4 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h. These Skoda Octavia RS specifications reaffirm its legacy as a driver-focused performance sedan.
Limited Yet Legendary
The Octavia RS returns to India as a CBU import and will be available in limited numbers. Priced at ₹49.99 lakh (ex-showroom), it’s aimed at enthusiasts who appreciate exclusivity and high performance. The Skoda Octavia RS India launch underscores the brand’s dedication to automotive enthusiasts seeking unmatched refinement.
The Sound of Speed
Through this collaboration, Skoda has created more than just a commercial—it’s an artistic statement. The film captures how precision, passion, and performance come together, much like music itself. With the Skoda Octavia RS India 2025, the brand once again proves that innovation and emotion can exist in perfect harmony.
