2011 Skoda Fabia RS

The 2011 Skoda Fabia RS has 2 versions, hatchback and estate bodystyles. Both continue the RS range’s renowned combination of sporty performance with exceptional fuel efficiency and environmental-friendliness. This car is also equipped with the supercharger and turbocharger work hand-in-hand. The mechanically-driven supercharger supplies the combustion chambers up to engine speeds of 2,400 rpm when the engine is under the part load, while under full load it is uncoupled at a maximum of 3,500 rpm.

Skoda Fabia RS capable of reaching top speed of 224 km/h – 226 km/h for the estate version – and the ability to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.3 seconds, both models offer truly sporty performance. Skoda Auto has introduced a dual-charged four cylinder petrol engine to its range for the first time, which produces 132 kW (180 bhp) from only 1.4 litre capacity and a torque peak of 250 Nm from 2,000 rpm through to 4,500 rpm. Despite the impressive performance, combined fuel consumption in the NEDC measuring cycle is very low: both RS versions require just 6.4 litres of fuel to drive 100 kilometres.

In the interior, the Onyx-colored dashboard is equipped with a three-spoke leather steering wheel with an optional multi-function version with gear change paddles for manual control of the standard seven-speed automatic DSG gearbox. Skoda Fabia RS customers can also order red seat covers and black floor mats with silver or red offset seams depending on the upholstery color. Its luggage capacity (300 to 1,163 litres in the hatchback; the estate, 480 to 1,460 litres) and the practical loading facility also add to its usefulness.

And then, the exterior Both versions of the new Skoda Fabia RS are unmistakable thanks to their unique front bumpers with integrated fog lamps, which can also be equipped as a option with a cornering light function or LED daytime running lights. The RS symbol sits proudly within the grille’s chromed frame, while red-painted brake callipers hint at their performance potential from behind the spokes of bespoke 17-inch ‘Gigaro’ aluminium wheels. As well as tinted windows, the rear sports a new bumper design and a dual-pipe exhaust. The roof and the rear spoiler of the hatchback are available in black, white and silver on request and depending on the car’s body color.
