To honour its 120^th anniversary in racing, Skoda Motorsport has created the exclusive Skoda Fabia Rally2 evo Edition 120, with only 12 limited edition versions of the successful rally car being available.

The Skoda Fabia Rally2 evo Edition 120 offers the majority of technical upgrades introduced for the 2021 Skoda Fabia Rally2 evo, complemented by additional equipment, a special livery and exclusive accessories.

In 2021, Skoda celebrates its 120^th motorsport anniversary. Over the decades, Skoda went from long-distance races with motorbikes to hill climbs, circuit racing, and rallies on four wheels. On the way, countless victories were collected, most recently with dominating showing in the WRC2/WRC2 Pro category of the FIA World Rally Championship.

Each of Fabia Rally2 evo Edition 120 will not only include the majority of the technical upgrades of the 2021 Fabia Rally2 evo, it also comes with a variety of extra features. In addition to the standard equipment of the newest model, the Fabia Rally2 evo Edition 120 includes a set of green painted magnesium wheels and a full pod of extra LED lights plus LED corner lights.

An additional full package of extra internal accessories based on factory crews experience is part of the standard configuration. This includes storage bags or nets for personal belongings, tools, spare parts or additional equipment. More comfort improving accessories like camel bags for drinking water, bottles for car liquids, belts, holders and much more complete the package of extras.

The Fabia Rally2 evo Edition 120 features all non-optional contents of the general 2021 upgrade package. These updates concern the improved engine, where the goal for the technicians was to improve the gas exchange and mixture preparation in the combustion chamber.

The Fabia Rally2 evo Edition 120 features a newly designed and more efficient intercooler, optimised exhaust manifold, new valve timing as well as a new setup of the electronic mapping. These modifications improved the performance and characteristics of the engine as well as increase the power output to 283bhp. Newly calibrated dampers provide even better traction and car stability on all types of surfaces.

Next to even better performance, improved reliability was a major topic for the 2021 upgrades of the Fabia Rally2 evo. A stronger rear axle subframe minimises the risk of damage on rough roads. For the gravel version of the Fabia Rally2 evo, a special cooling device for the rear brakes, originally homologated for tarmac use only, will be included.

The engine of the Fabia Rally2 evo in 2021 spec - and thus of the Fabia Rally2 evo Edition 120 - is equipped with a redesigned lubrication system with improved function in dynamic modes. Modifications include a newly designed intake strainer and optimised geometry of baffle plates in the oil sump to improve turbocharger oil feeding and its reliability.

Buyers of the limited Skoda Fabia Rally2 evo Edition 120 can also choose to add more options. These include a longer gear set, which makes the gearbox better suitable for rallies with high average speed by increasing the top speed to 202km/h. Especially for low grip surfaces, Skoda Motorsport also offers a third set of differential ramps that can be used both on gravel and tarmac stages.
