ŠKODA 130 RS & FABIA Driving Video

The ideal piece of sports equipment is undoubtedly available to Kahle again: the 130 RS is one of the most successful models in ŠKODA's more than 120-year motorsport history.

The greatest triumphs of the rear-wheel drive, also known as the 'Porsche of the East', include victory in the manufacturers' classification of the European Touring Car Championship in 1981 and the double victory in the 1977 Monte Carlo Rally in the category up to 1,300 cc displacement.

Even if the Eifel Rallye Festival is not about best times: Since the mostly newly selected demonstration routes are closed to public traffic, Kahle can uninhibitedly demonstrate the potential of the 130 RS and race through the tests at real competitive speed.

The same applies to the other privately owned ŠKODA vehicles that can be seen at the Eifel Rallye Festival – and have also played their part in the history of the World Rally Championship, which was held for the first time in 1972.

Among other things, the fans can look forward to two FABIA WRCs.

These World Rally Cars were created on the basis of the first-generation standard ŠKODA FABIA RS.

While the five-door hatchback model with a 96 kW (130 hp) TDI diesel engine was at the dealerships, the FABIA WRC has a turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with a displacement of two liters, 221 kW (300 hp) and a maximum torque of 600 Nm.

In the World Rally Championship, the ŠKODA FABIA WRC made its debut in the 2003 Rally Germany.
