Mladá Boleslav, 1 July 2021 – ŠKODA Motorsport, ŠKODA Austria, battery technology solutions specialist Kreisel Electric and operational partner Baumschlager Rallye & #racing have teamed up to develop a fully electric rally car – the ŠKODA RE-X1 Kreisel. Based on a ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo bodyshell and powered by an 860 volts system delivering 260 kW peak power, the concept car was homologated by the Austrian Motorsport Federation AMF (ÖAMTC). The debut in the Austrian Rally Championship is planned for July this year.
When Kreisel Electric, supplier of the mandatory hybrid technology of the generation 2022 World Rally Cars for the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), looked for partners to develop a fully electric rally car, ŠKODA Motorsport saw an interesting opportunity. Building on its experience and competence with the worldwide most successful car of the Rally2 category, the Mladá Boleslav based manufacturer’s motorsport department updated a ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo chassis to be fitted with Kreisel’s electric powertrain. The resulting concept car ŠKODA RE-X1 Kreisel combines the best know-how from a builder of high-end rally cars with the innovative battery technology of
Kreisel.
With more than 400 units sold and numerous rally victories and title wins worldwide under its belt, the rally version of the ŠKODA FABIA is the commercially and sportingly most successful car of its category. “The concept car ŠKODA RE-X1 Kreisel is an exciting combination of traditional and future-orientated technology. We provided our best experience, based on developing already three generations of the rally-going ŠKODA FABIA,” comments Michal Hrabánek, Head of ŠKODA Motorsport. “The concept car offers all the setup possibilities of the latest generation ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo, but with a fully electric powertrain and I really believe rally fans will find such a combination truly interesting.”
