Skoda is under the Volkswagen umbrella together with the likes of Audi, Porsche, Bentley etc. Very nice cars. Fun fact: My mom is 76 and she drives a 200hp Skoda Turbo sedan as her daily driver.
You will never realize how earshattering loud anti-lag systems can be untill you stand next to the course. It's insane
So Skoda has been around rally since the 60's in group 2 group 4 and group A and they are chechslovakian both ken block and Colin McRae have driven fabias ken drove his in Missouri funny enough i don't remember how the skoda finished in 2020? Or was it 21? But when Colin drove it they came up short from winning the WRC championship
Skoda is actually one of the oldest car makers in the world.
I love my Skoda Octavia and having paid off my 2nd one, a 2016 Octavia vRS mk3 5e, I decided to "do it up". Adding new MCA suspension, Milltek exhaust, Racing Line stage 1 tune and Racing Line intake system and turbo inlets has turned my family wagon into a sleeper that brings a smile to my face every day! The sound while not like those in this video you can sense the animal lurking beneath as it now punches out ~320hp
hello from Czechia:) i had Škoda fabia 1,6 16valve 105hp, and it was the strongest model you could get(and same design as those on the video), it was awesome little daily, practical, stable, you could get it to around 210-220kmh on highway and it still felt totally alright:) as for present day line up of Škoda i really like KodiaqRS model(americans would say its little SUV, but it has around 200hp and with agresive driving it still made around 25mpg), but i dont think it is offered with US homologation, maybe its time EU and US got their shiat together:D
Sounds like my son setting off for work in his Mini Copper JCW. Who needs alarm clocks? 😂
Skoda was always good in rallying. This generation of the Fabia was made from 2001 until 2007, 3 generations have followed it. Before was the Felicia, which is a reworked Favorit, produced from 1994-2001, 1985-1994 respectively. The interesting story of the Favorit is that it was the first front-engine model of the brand since a long time (1960's I think), and it was during the production of the Favorit that Volkswagen bought the brand, reworked the Favorit (injection istead of a carburetor) and in '94, they did a major uphaul, and renamed the model Felicia. I drive one myself, from 1999. At that time, they had optional extras like AC, ABS, airbags, power windows, but where I live, in Hungary, it was a poor people's car, so mine has three extras: a cigarette lighter, central locking and a sunroof. The Favorit/Felicia were made as pickup van and panel vans as well, the Felicia had an interesting version, labelled "Fun", which was basically a pickup, but with the rear panel of the cabin retractable, unfolding two more rear seats and a now open rear section, it is worth a googling. During the soviet era, there were models like the 1000 MBX, which was a coupe of their first rear-engine sedan. Also, this was a unibody design, we are talking beyond the iron curtain, 1964. Later, there were coupe models like the 110 RS and Garde/Rapid, which were rear-engined coupe's, and handled a bit like Porsches, therefore their nickname poor man's Porsche (peasant's Porsche in lit. translation from Hungarian). I would advise you to google these ones, too, and my main point after this large detour, the Felicia Kit Car, that was a great rally car, as well. And one last intersting fact, Skodas were made with basically the same engine block from the 1000MB in 1964 until the Felicia, an OHV one, which started as a 1000ccm, and went up to 1300ccm a bit before the Favorit, but was also built into the Fabia, with 1400ccm. The same pushrod engine from the sixties, which was designed in the 1920's by NSU. My car has this same block, with 50kW of power. It purrs like kitten, but can perform if needed until safe highway speed, it can get up to 160 km/h / 100mph without much of a difficulty. When the Felicia came out, journalists were joking on the cat that the rpm gauge has a green field, from 2000rpm until 3500, implying that under 2000 it is weak, and over 3500 it is just noisy but does not perform. Kinda true, but those opinions are exaggerated of course. I hope I managed to give you some interesting information, have a good one!
Actually Ken used Skoda Fabia R5 in one of his rallies. Don't know which one. But he has driven it on few stages.
5 more years (as for 25y rule I suppose) and You'll be able to pull one sweet MK1 Fabia vRS to US, imagine how rare it will be there, just one sidenote: it's 130BHP 1.9TDI only, so it's one smol coal roller
It's not really common for people in America to even know about Škoda or Tatra, so the fact that you admire them is for me, a Czech, really fascinating :D My family had always a Škoda as far as I remember, starting with the old, dark blue 105, blue Favorit, black Felicia, silver Fabia (first gen), then my father got second gen Fabia as a company car and nowadays I drive the Rapid liftback. I always wanted Octavia, well, the Rapid is at least using some parts from the first gen Octavia even if it's a car about 14 years younger. I am still quite young and haven't driven too many cars, but the Škoda is the most enjoyable car I have driven so far. One day, I'd love to rally with a Škoda car, and my crazy dream is to finish the Dakar rally with a Škoda onde day :D. Anyway, I hope you'll make it into the Mladá Boleslav Škoda museum, I was there years ago and really enjoyed it, as there were really interesting models. I remember they had some kind of prototype Rapid (liftback) on display even before it went into production and I was so surprised how great and futuristic it looked. Of course, the serial model is way simpler, but I still love that car and as a relatively young kid I didn't expect it'd be my first car one day :)
Original czech pronounciation is SHkoda, english speakers say Skoda so both are ok.
One of the best Skoda commercial: You remember that feeling!
Historically, Škoda was a large arms factory on the level of the German Krupp. In addition to passenger cars, it has a division of heavy industry, it also manufactures locomotives, turbines for power plants and pressure vessels for nuclear reactors, in the past Czechoslovakia built entire nuclear power plants with its own help, also tanks, fighters and bombers for export, something from this industry still exists, after all Tatra it also has a weapons division. It's a shame that Škoda only has a civilian program. I recommend looking at the old Škoda RS 130 and RS 200 specials.

I have a 2004 Skoda Octavia VRS station wagon. Had it from new, would not need another car until I run this one into the ground. The definition of reliable, and also very ergonomic and spacious.
I had a tuned Skoda Felicia that looked completely normal, except it was lowered. That was just before Volkswagen took over. Had a heap of fun at traffic lights, tricking Mercs, BMWs, Audi's into eating my dust.
I owned a 2015 Skoda Octavia from 2015 to 2019. Their road going cars are so so reliable. Dull might some say, but the reliability and quality of these cars are top notch. Would buy again.
Skoda Mladá Boleslav Czech Republic Skoda fabie 1 generation 1999 2007 love this WRC car
First experience of anti-lag like this was live at the old RAC rally when the escort Cosworth WRC cars would come through. You could hear them coming from 2 valleys over. Rally is absolutely epic live.
