Skoda Shows Off Fabia Design Concept Car
Thursday, March 5th, 2009
Skoda has unveiled in Geneva its much hyped Fabia Sport Design Concept, the best car that the company has plans to bring out in recent times.
Part of the Fabia’s success is the fact that all of its mechanical parts are developed by or in conjunction with Volkswagen, but are offered in a package that is priced to undercut other models in the Volkswagen Group. The only trace of non-VW Škoda left in the Fabia is the 1.4 8v “MPI” Engine, which was a modification to Škoda’s own 1.3 engine, and was used in pre-Volkswagen Škodas such as the Estelle and Favorit.
It is said that the next Fabia vRS is set to use the VW group’s 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine rather than the old car’s powerful turbodiesel motor.
