One way to make a relatively ordinary car more appealing is to produce a special edition. This is a popular technique used by all the major manufacturers. Sometimes it is just a special paint job, extra stripes or something more substantial such as alloy wheels and different trim. A good example is the new Škoda Fabia RS Rally2, a future classic?
Škoda Motorsport’s legacy dates back to 1901, when it started with motorcycle racing events. In the present day, victories and titles are fought for and won in in the WRC2 category of the FIA World Rally Championship, the FIA European Rally Championship and other regional and national rally series. To celebrate its 125 years anniversary, Škoda Motorsport is equipping each new Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 sold to customers with additional features for the anniversary year.
This package includes rear polycarbonate windows, crossmember covers for gravel and asphalt, an extra lights bag (if the extra lights are included in the purchase), six magnesium OZ rims in special colours, light engine wiring, an updated central panel, “125 Years” welcome display, and CV joint sleeves.
The anniversary pack is completed by decals in the “125 Years” design, a new Unique Dark Chrome logo on the bonnet, an interior plaque and a cloth car cover bearing the “125 Years Škoda Motorsport” logo.
For the third year running, Škoda Motorsport will support teams participating in the FIA European Rally Championship (ERC) with a dedicated Bonus Program. Additionally, Škoda Motorsport will continue to support all teams at selected FIA European Rally Championship and FIA World Rally Championship events with its dedicated spare parts truck.
In 2025, the Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 was once again one of the most successful cars in international, regional and national rallies. Škoda Motorsport’s customer team, Toksport WRT, won the WRC2 Teams’ title in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC). The crew of Nikolay Gryazin/Konstantin Aleksandrov became the WRC2 Challenger champions and Miguel Granados/Marc Martí secured the WRC Masters Cup title.
Mikołaj Marczyk and navigator Szymon Gospodarczyk drove a Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 to the title in the FIA European Rally Championship. With similar cars, Nasser Al-Attiyah and co-driver Cándido Carrera took the FIA Middle East Rally Championship and Hiroki Arai/Hiroki Tachikui the FIA Asia-Pacific Rally Championship. In addition, drivers of rally cars from Mladá Boleslav won 20 national championships as well as numerous important national sub-championships.
