Skoda launches Fabia Monte Carlo
Fabia Monte Carlo is launched to celebrate 100 years of the famous Monte Carlo Rally and 110 years of Škoda’s participation in motorsport. From the outside, the Fabia Monte Carlo boasts a dynamic look, underlined by the introduction of piano-black corpse trim, which extend over the wheel arches and down the extensive length of the car, a black roof, black door mirror covers, a black radiator grille top, smoked headlamps and black 17” lightweight Trinity alloy wheels. Inside the Skoda Fabia Monte, customers can choose between all black or, red and black sports seating which boast extra side support. Both forms come with black roof lining, a perforated leather steering wheel with red stitching, leather handbrake and gearstick gaiter with red stitching.
To complete the enhanced sporty appeal silvery kick plates and steel pedals are fitted as standard. The new Fabia Monte Carlo is set to make its first public look at Rallye Monte Carlo (19-22 January), where Skoda’s current all-conquering IRC championship winning rally autocar, the Fabia S2000, finished fourth (in class) on its first outing at this legendary rally in 2009. In 2010, Skoda sports finished second, third and fifth (in class) with Hanninen, Vouilloz and Kopecky, respectively. Available as hatchback only, the car’s trim is based on the present Fabia SE version, and the new Monte Carlo will be available with a wide range of engines. All of the Fabia Monte Carlo models will be fixed with a 5-speed manual transmission and will be available to order from 24 January 2011.
