Skoda has made some strong inroads into the Chinese market place since its introduction several years ago, now it is set to enter a niche segment that is largely ignored by many; the hot hatch segment.

Skoda are planning to launch either a 1.8T or a 2.0T Octavia RS into the mainland, which should hopefully spark an introduction into the hot hatch scene which has so far been dominated by expensive import models.
