Škoda introduces the Fabia 130, a special edition delivering enhanced performance and featuring design elements inspired by motorsport

​The heart of the Fabia 130 is an enhanced 1.5 TSI evo2 engine, delivering 130 kW instead of originally 110 kW . Set-up by the powertrain specialists at Škoda’s Technical Development, some parts like intake plenum, vibration damper or rocker arms have been upgraded to match the increased power. The engine now produces more power starting from 3500 rpm and the peak of 130 kW is available between 5750 and 6000 rpm with maximum torque of 250 Nm available between 1500 and 4000 rpm.

The 7-speed DSG transmission has been specially updated with key enhancements including higher shift points for faster acceleration, double-clutch downshifts in Sport mode for smoother gear changes and modified braking logic for faster re-acceleration. According to recent tests, the acceleration from 0-100 km/h takes 7.4 seconds, which is 0,4 seconds quicker than the standard model. Acceleration from 60-100 km/h takes 3.8 seconds (compared to 4.1 seconds), and acceleration from 80-120 km/h takes 4.8 seconds (compared to 5.3 seconds). The maximum speed is now 228 km/h, making it the fastest series-produced Škoda Fabia to date.

The Fabia 130 is equipped as standard with a sport suspension lowered by 15 mm combined with 18” wheels, improving handling and stability. The steering has also been modified, offering more precise feedback and immediate response in the newly adapted Normal and Sport driving modes.

This special edition also includes a two-stage dynamic control system accessible via the car's menu. The Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) system can be turned off to deactivate traction control and allow a controlled slip in appropriate surroundings. Selecting ASR Sport + ESC Sport mode allows greater wheel slip while the ESC system intervenes later, ensuring an exciting yet safe driving experience.
