At this weekend’s Essen Motor Show, ŠKODA will show off its new ŠKODA
Fabia R5. Still regarded as a ‘concept’. The car looks remarkably well finished
and just about ready to go.
ŠKODA’s
Motorsport Director Michal Hrabánek confirmed: “The Fabia R 5 is scheduled to
be homologated by mid-2015.”
Details are
sketchy but the display board states that the car has a 1.6-litre turbo engine,
five-speed sequential gearbox, MacPherson struts and will weigh at least 1230
kilograms.
Customer
racing teams have already shown huge interest in the new machine following on
from the proven success of the Fabia Super 2000 car.
