Next generation Fabia vRS to feature 1.4 TSI
The hot hatch vRS version of the latest generation Skoda Fabia will switch to petrol power in the form of Volkswagen’s 1.4 liter TSI engine instead of the current Fabia vRS’s 1.9 liter TDI engine. A switch to turbocharged petrol power was spurred by rising diesel prices in the UK and the higher cost of producing a diesel-powered vehicle, according to Skoda chairman Reinhard Jung.
The current Skoda Fabia vRS based on the previous Skoda Fabia design is powered makes 130hp and 310Nm of torque. 0-100km/h is achievable in 9.5 seconds. Shown above is the early 2007 1000 unit run of the Fabia vRS called the Skoda Fabia vRS Special Edition. – Source

ah…remove the only thing that is giving the vRS an identity…..
Why not jsut buy a VW Polo GTI instead?
Perhaps people don’t like diesel hot hatches….makes perfect sense to me.
