Yes, but the figure of 9.6 seconds was given by Skoda, who did the time with 4 passengers I believe.

Read Autocar's review, they regularly got 8.2 seconds 0-60 & one non wind-assisted run of 7.2 seconds... quite impressive considering that the vRS struggles to get its power down for the first 2 gears. Its real power comes between 30-90mph.

The vRS will do 0-60 in 8.2s. Read the Autocar review. Skoda deliberately said it did it in 9.6 to keep the insurance group down.
