Photos: Skoda begin testing Fabia S2000 : Rallye-Info.com

Škoda Auto has started testing the first prototype of the Škoda Fabia Super 2000 today. Designed to be used in the Super 2000 category, the vehicle is based on the second-generation Fabia and, in compliance with the FIA regulations, is equipped with a two-litre atmospheric four-cylinder petrol engine, a six-speed sequential transmission and a four-wheel drive system with three mechanical differentials.

Commenting on the occasion, Dr. Eckhard Scholz, Škoda Auto BOD Member responsible for technological development, said: “We are glad to have started testing the Fabia Super 2000. This year we are planning to optimise and certify the vehicle so that we can use it on both national and international levels. When exactly will the vehicle be released for competition use will depend on the achieved progress, relevant test results and the final certification. Then we are also planning to offer the vehicle to private teams. Based on a customer service arrangement, further development work on the vehicle will be done in close cooperation with our importers worldwide“.

Martin Lauer, Head of Corporate Communications, adds: “The history of over hundred years of involvement in motorsport is unique, and we are proud to be able to continue the success story with the Fabia Super 2000. We believe that the vehicle will become a successful part of this tradition, because car racing is popular all over the world and offers great opportunities to promote our products“.

Looks awesome

Sounds it as well

That car is Sex!! now if all furby IIs looked like that!!!

Nice one

I'm bored of matt black paint now...

Car looks nice though.

Nice

Listen to that burble on over run

MMMmmmmm.

Now if only they could make a new vRS or sport version look like that and sound like that too. Infact if the VRS was like that, I think I'd probably have one, and I never thought I'd even consider a fabia :eek::eek:

Weapon.

Even the Missus was impressed, and she thinks Skoda's are for Geriatrics... :rofl:

I'd buy one if it looked a bit more like that...

I think one has been developed for rallycross too - saw a photo of it somewhere.

Looks great better then the standard fabia 2, but i bet the new vRS will look nothing like that. Which sucks

Found the rallycross one

nOW THAT LOOKS GOOD IN RED

I'll take one - maybe even 2!

When does it go on sale?! tehehe

Very nice. Sex on wheels. Hopefully the vrs will resemble it.

Paul's prediction

If a new Fabia vRS appears... it will share similarities with that car

I want one though :(

Found some more photos of the rallycross fabia 2.
