Skoda has released a new special edition of the Skoda Fabia vRS, featuring individually numbered black leather seats, sporty red callipers and Race Blue metallic paint – the only colour available and the first time its been offered on Fabia.
Only 1,000 units of this special edition will be available. The number you want on the leather seats can be chosen, it is not a running series, but once someone has taken a number you can’t have it, it’s a first come first serve thing.
The special Fabia vRS gains a few extra specs over the normal Fabia vRS – cruise control, ‘sunset glass and a six-disc CD changer. All of this carries a premium of about 600 pounds over the standard Skoda Fabia vRS.
The special edition Skoda Fabia vRS is powered by the same engine as the standard vRS – a 1.9 litre TDI engine with 130hp and 310Nm of torque. 0-100km/h is achievable in 9.5 seconds, hardly qualifying it as a hot hatch, but as with the new amazing diesels, it only uses 3.6 litre of fuel per 100km on the extra urban cycle. This is somewhat like an end-of-life special edition before the new batch of Fabias are released this May, with a new vRS based on the new Fabia due in 2008.

Yup.. European diesel engines are good nowadays. British diesel is more expensive than petrol nowadays.. but diesel cars are still popular due to its technologies.. u can see small hatch to big executive saloons in diesel engines… car manufacturer which don't have diesel engine options? out of date… oh btw, british ppl uses manual transmission in any cars.. hardly get an automatic transmission here… u want auto? busses, trucks… arh.. out of topic.. anyway, nice blue that skoda Fabia vRS has..
Ya… it seems only Asian like auto ? :)
BTW, is this special edition available for Msia market ?
only 1000 units available… for Malaysian market? difficult.. as it's not popular in Malaysia… considered endangered species.. hehe.. so IMO, they rather sell in UK…
a nice attempt for skoda on this car… but wat amazes me is the red calipers and individually numbered seats… pretty fresh and creative upgrades…
i always luved vrs…thy r potent and yet very subtle and shy to show their potential…..bcos practically it is a vw golf….but diesels somehow here are not yet that feesible…high road tax n lack of education amoung drivers abt new diesels compare to their perception of loud,underpowered and smoky diesels
Yes yes, guys, really, diesel's engines are mist popular engines in Europe. You see that, even BMW fitts their superb diesel into 6er. Really, if you want nice car, with goood consuption, from time to time you can pull the accelerator just down to the"floor", and the consuption is still in racional range, buy a diesel in sport…like BMW…and off cpourse, manual transmission….diesel ruleSS
