Skoda has revealed the fastest production variant of the Fabia supermini with the ‘130’.
The Fabia 130 has been developed to celebrate Skoda’s 130th birthday, with the car featuring a new engine as well as exterior and interior upgrades.
Under the bonnet, there is a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine that develops 174bhp and 250Nm of torque, which is 26bhp more than on the standard model. In terms of acceleration, the car can do 0-60mph in 7.2 seconds and will reach a top speed of 142mph.
The exterior of the car includes 15mm lowered suspension, 18-inch alloy wheels, black front and rear spoilers, ‘130’ badges on the front wings and tailgate, black-tinted headlights and a rear horizontal black strip with twin-exit exhaust tips.
Inside, there are electrically adjustable sports seats, a three-spoke steering wheel, stainless-steel pedals, bespoke ‘Fabia 130’ door sills, a 10-inch virtual cockpit display and a 9.2-inch infotainment system.
Other standard equipment includes Bi-LED headlights, keyless entry and start, rear privacy glass and a reversing camera.
There is also the choice of four exterior colours including Moon White, Velvet Red, Race Blue and Black Magic.
Prices start at £29,995 with UK order books due to open on October 30. Expected deliveries are set to commence later this year.
