SKODA Launches Dog Safety Accessories

Dogs love going for rides in the car, but the constant changes in velocity and direction can make it a dangerous place for man’s best friend to be.  SKODA is aiming to change that, with their new line of Dog Safety Accessories, including a Dog Safety Belt and Backseat Protector.  Attaching to the existing three-point seatbelt, the Dog Safety Belt is specifically designed to keep your pooch planted in the seat, and as such, should be able to be installed in just about any car.

Read more about the kit below.

  • Simply Clever features designed to keep hounds happy
  • Seat belts, covers and guards to secure all creatures great and small
  • Available as part of ŠKODA’s extensive Accessories range

Milton Keynes– ŠKODA is advising all dog owners to paws for thought before they take their furry friends on the great summer getaway. Thanks to its passion for safety and the protection of all occupants – whether four or two legged – ŠKODA has developed a comprehensive range of accessories designed to keep dogs safe and secure on the move.

The range, developed using ŠKODA’s acclaimed Simply Clever philosophy, combines the very latest in canine-cosy materials with high-tech structures to protect even the most boisterous of hounds. From simple seatbelts to barriers designed to give dogs an area of the car they can call their own, the range has everything the savvy dog owner needs.

Among the many accessories available through ŠKODA retailers is a Dog Safety Belt. This offers the simplest solution for a hound that likes to go walkies on the move. With a simple clunk-click of this specially-developed belt (which handily clicks into a lead for seamless car-to-walk manoeuvres), even the most unruly of mutts will be restrained for when the roads get twisty. The doggie seat belt comes in four sizes – from S to XL – meaning that everything from a Chihuahua to a Great Dane benefit. Prices start from £50 including VAT for the small version, with medium, large and XL costing £65, £75 and £85 respectively.

As millions of owners will testify, dogs are experts in embedding hair and mud in a car interior. Which is why ŠKODA has developed a neat Backseat Protector designed to minimise the impact of malting, muddy hounds. Whether you’re carrying a Chow in a Citigo or a Shih tzu in Superb, the ŠKODA Backseat Protector (£30 including VAT) does exactly what its name suggests. By attaching to the front and rear headrests, the protector forms a cosy hammock area. The material is water-resistant and has a non-slip surface to further increase safety on the move.

For those who like to treat their dogs to their own private grounds at the back of their estate, the ŠKODA dog guard is the accessory of choice. Available for Fabia, Octavia and Superb estate models, the grille is light and easy to install, and allows the driver a clear view of the road behind. For smaller dogs, ŠKODA also offers a system that divides the boot space into two – providing separate spaces for luggage and man’s best friend. Prices start from £105.50 including VAT.

Other ‘state of the bark’ accessories designed to keep owners and hounds happy include a range of tailor-fitted protective mats and inserts. The rubber boot mat is moulded exactly to the shape of the boot-floor and fits so snugly, it doesn’t require any special fixings. The ŠKODA Genuine Accessories range also includes a robust Plastic Protective Liner for the boot.

Additionally, the Rapid, Rapid Spaceback, Yeti, Octavia and Octavia Estate come with a double-sided floor covering for the boot as an option. One side is covered with carpet, the other side with a dirt and water-repellent material. When travelling with a friend with mucky paws, simply flip it over onto the easy-clean side.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Novitec, Unsatisfied with Aventador SV, Adds More Veloce

The Lamborghini Aventador SV is no slouch, but if you’re into Lamborghinis, chances are you’re into big numbers. Whether it’s in the bank or under the hood, a big number could, and perhaps should, always be bigger, which is where Novitec steps in. Novitec has been modifying Italian cars for years, and their Torado line is dedicated to making ridiculous Lamborghinis even more ridiculous. Their latest effort takes the Aventador SV and remaps the engine to give it 786hp and 544 lb-ft of toque. They’ve also fitted the car with a new exhaust system that cuts 50 lbs off the car. Other mods include a carbon fiber aero package, spoiler, front splitter and air intake, all of which helps it shed even more weight. The Aventador also sits on 21 (back) and 20 (front) inch Vossen wheels. So if you think that a regular Aventador is just a little too pedestrian, give Novitec a call and they’ll hook you up.
