Skoda has unveiled the fastest production variant of its Fabia supermini with the new 130.
The Fabia 130 has been developed to celebrate Skoda’s 130th birthday, with the little pocket rocket featuring a new engine as well as exterior and interior upgrades.
Under the bonnet, there is a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine that develops 174bhp and 250Nm of torque, which is 26bhp more than the standard model.
In terms of acceleration, the car can do 0-100kmh in 7.2 seconds and will reach a top speed of 228kmh.
The upgraded exterior sees the suspension lowered by 15mm, while you get 18-inch alloy wheels, black front and rear spoilers, “130” badges on the wings and tailgate, black-tinted headlights and a rear horizontal black strip with twin exhausts.
Inside, there are electrically adjustable sports seats, a three-spoke steering wheel, stainless-steel pedals, bespoke “Fabia 130” door sills, a 10-inch virtual cockpit display and a 9.2-inch infotainment system.
Prices closer to launch in 2026.
