Skoda Fabia

Skoda Fabia coupe

Take a close look at this car - can you work out what it's based on?

Wild two-door has 500bhp and weighs 1,000kg

24th May 2007

The square grille and headlamps are the real giveaway. Just as the all-new Skoda Fabia goes on sale in Britain, this unique rally-bred version of the MkI supermini has been unveiled.
 
The Skoda features a modified version of the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine from the VW Golf GTI, which now produces a staggering 500bhp and 600Nm of torque

The RS 01 WRC is the work of Czech spark plug maker Brisk. All of the Fabia's original panels have been replaced by a coupé body­shell, which has a raised tail and wide wheelarches. Under the bonnet, the Skoda features a modified version of the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine from the VW Golf GTI, which now produces a staggering 500bhp and 600Nm of torque.

With a kerbweight of only 1,000kg, it's no surprise this mega Skoda can complete the sprint from 0-60mph in a lightning 2.7 seconds.
