The Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 is based on the new road car, the Škoda Fabia 4th generation, which hit the market in 2021. It belongs to the Rally2 group and follows on from the highly successful Škoda Fabia Rally2 and Rally2 evo (formerly known as R5), which has become the best-selling rally special over the past eight years; the best-selling and also the most successful. Škoda Motorsport has developed a brand new engine for Škoda Fabia RS Rally2, further improved its handling, powertrain and electronics. Last but not least, once again enhanced the safety of crews.
„In motorsport especially, standing still always means going backwards. That's why, in developing the new Fabia RS Rally2, we have taken the experience we gained with the previous model and further optimised every detail in a targeted way to further improve the most successful racing car of recent years. I am proud of the entire team at Škoda Motorsport, who have pursued this goal with great dedication. I would also like to thank our colleagues in the production car development department who have provided us with a great foundation for the Fabia RS Rally2 with the fourth-generation Fabia.“
Michal Hrabánek, Head of Škoda Motorsport
Packet 25 The Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 has received a number of upgrades for the 2025 season, known as Packet 25. The most significant of these upgrades relate to the engine, primarily an increase in its performance, achieved by modifying the exhaust system, including a redesign of the exhaust manifolds. Other improvements in Packet 25 include new gravel shocks and enhanced protection for the drivetrain and suspension components. These upgrades promise increased durability for the driveshaft boots, brake callipers, and brake cooling ducts. The new uniball seals significantly increase their service life. In terms of comfort, the most important improvement is the redesigned air intake from the roof ventilation system into the cabin. This not only improves ventilation but also helps reduce water access into the interior. Additionally, optional new racing seats are available, with a weight reduction of 2 kilograms, helping to achieve a lower centre of gravity for the car. More information about Packet 25
