For four generations, the compact and agile Fabia hatchback has been the cornerstone of the Škoda Motorsport team’s exceptional competition specials. The DNA of cars driven by legends such as Colin McRae and Formula 1 stars Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel now enters mass production with the limited anniversary edition Fabia 130. It is based on the Monte Carlo trim line and adds unique features for a true sporting experience.

The car’s technical specifications immediately impress with a maximum power output of 130 kW, which, like the model name, refers to this year’s anniversary of the car manufacturer. This milestone has been achieved by the 1.5 TSI evo2 four-cylinder petrol engine, which previously featured a maximum power output of 110 kW in the Fabia model. However, the extra 20 kilowatts is just one piece of the puzzle. The engine now has a sharper character and better response to the accelerator pedal, and the maximum torque of 250 Nm is available across a significantly wider range of RPMs, which improves flexibility. The developers have also tuned the seven-speed DSG automatic transmission to match the engine, which now responds even more quickly and draws the driver more into the action. In the Sport mode, for example, it can downshift with double-clutching.
The Fabia 130 special edition emphasises the driving experience through its increased output and various visual enhancements, adding excitement to our model range.

The result of these changes is the Fabia 130’s excellent dynamics. At 228 km/h, it is the fastest production Fabia ever. Other features contribute to driving pleasure as well. The chassis, lowered by 15 mm, has two newly adjusted steering characteristics (Normal/Sport), which can be changed in the driving mode selection. Another new feature is the option to activate ASR Sport + ESC sport mode in addition to the standard ASR off function, which allows for greater wheel slip while the ESC system intervenes later. This ensures an exciting but still safe experience. Fabia 130 drivers can thus enjoy the character of the vehicle in different driving modes.

The car’s sporty character is further emphasised by its appearance. It is complemented primarily by the 18-inch Libra wheels in a smoke finish. The rear of the car is adorned with a black stripe reminiscent of the Fabia Rally2. A dual exhaust tip peeks out from under the diffuser. Bi-LED headlights with black inner frames give the car a sharper look, and each of the four body colours is complemented by a Magic Black roof, which also extends to the pillars, exterior mirrors and other details.
The fact that this is a special edition is highlighted by the 130 emblems on the front fenders and tailgate. Inside, the Fabia 130 has sport seats with integrated headrests, three-spoke sports steering wheel, and pedals with stainless steel covers. The sporty feel is complemented by black-anodised aluminium door sills and silver decorative elements on the dashboard and door handles. Of course, the car comes with rich standard equipment, which can be further enhanced with the 130 Plus package that includes adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, heated windscreen and more.
