The Škoda Fabia RS Rally2[1] is a rally car built by Škoda Motorsport that is based on the fourth generation Škoda Fabia production car. It is the second upgraded generational update of the original Fabia R5, replacing the Fabia Rally2 evo.
Development[edit]
Four notable drivers helped to develop the Fabia RS Rally2; Andreas Mikkelsen, UK's Kris Meeke, Czech Republic's Jan Kopecký and Finland's Emil Lindholm.[2] The car was tested extensively on various surfaces such as gravel, snow and asphalt, and in locations such as Finland, Spain, France and Italy.[3]
The car was launched on 14 June 2022 at a presentation at Škoda Auto headquarters in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic,[3] before winning on its competitive debut on the Lausitz Rally held in Germany in November 2022 with Norwegian crew Andreas Mikkelsen and Torstein Eriksen.[4]
