Mladá Boleslav, 20 December 2021 – Bearing the name R5, a completely new vehicle class was introduced for global rallying in 2012. It’s still valid today, albeit under the name Rally2. Based on the FABIA series production model, ŠKODA Motorsport developed a completely
new #rally car, which over time became the most successful in the category. In addition to fielding its own factory drivers, ŠKODA Motorsport from the very beginning also concentrated on supporting customer teams.
In 2012, a new vehicle category in global rallying replaced the SUPER 2000 class, in which ŠKODA had celebrated numerous successes with the FABIA SUPER 2000. Following the regulations for the new R5 category, today known as Rally2, ŠKODA Motorsport developed a successor model based on the third generation ŠKODA FABIA road car, which was presented in 2014.
The strategy behind the R5 regulations was to bring the #rally cars closer to their production counterparts again as well as to reduce the costs for development, competition and revisions. The foundation were completely new technical regulations, which still exist today. Instead of the two-litre naturally aspirated engine of the SUPER 2000 class, which was designed purely as a #racing engine, a near standard 1.6-litre turbo powerplant became common for R5 class cars. This engine could be derived from any production model. ŠKODA opted for the four-cylinder of the SUPERB variant sold in China. In accordance with the class limit, the displacement was reduced to 1,620 cubic centimetres. To level out the engine performance of different R5 models, a 32 millimetres FIA approved air restrictor was stipulated. The engine of the ŠKODA FABIA’s #rally variant has been further developed in several stages since 2015. In its current version, it produces around 214 kW
(290 hp) with a maximum torque of 425 Newton metres.
