The Skoda Fabia RS+ concept is based on the Fabia RS. “The adapted version of the series-production car shows the potential and the characteristically pure and clear build of the Fabia’s body, such as the separation of the roof by arranging the windows in a continuous line. The two-colour combination underlines the car’s unique architecture – the green colour bears reference to our rally achievements and the unique connection with the S2000, the grey colour represents the vehicle’s sporty expression and simplicity combined with design details", says Jozef Kaba, Head of Design at Skoda Auto.

The Skoda Fabia RS+ has been designed specially for the Wörthersee event. Its clearly defined shape highlights the optical width of the Fabia RS+, its strong character and the high quality of the respective details. Special features include the headlamps and the radiator grille that give the car a sharp look. The front and the tail are fitted with black spoilers and diffusers, and the bonnet is decorated, for the first time in this model, with visible air exhausts. The interior, including sports seats, comes with new materials in the colours of this concept car.

No word if Skoda's engineers fiddled around with the Fabia RS' mechanical hardware, but as a reminder, the standard version is powered by a 180HP 1.4-liter TSI turbocharged petrol engine that drives the front wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch DSG transmission with paddle-shifters.

"The Skoda Octavia RS+ has its roots in the successful series-production model. The objective of this concept car is to stress the attractiveness and unique character of the RS model line. While the two-colour paint and the adhesive foils underline the car’s elegance, the spoiler kit highlights the sporty expression of this vehicle. The features that give the Octavia RS+ a striking look include black-tinted headlamps & integrated LED-based taillights, as well as new materials and colours used in the interior", adds Kaba.

The Octavia RS+ will feature similar mods including an aero kit, new alloy wheels in a green tint and an upgraded interior. Again, Skoda did not say if it made any performance updates to the car's suspension and/or the 200HP 2.0 TSI engine.
