The new vRS is the fastest production Fabia ever built, and builds on
its predecessor’s reputation for high performance, low running costs
and remarkable value for money.

ESP, HHC (Hill Hold Control) and XDS (Electronic Differential System).

inspired by the Škoda Fabia S2000 rally car.

multi-function steering wheel with radio controls and paddles for
changing gear and MDI (Multi-Device Interface) for use with iPods and
other mp3 players.
Overall, the vRS offers fantastic value for money, particularly when
compared to the competition. Where else can you find a 180bhp engine
with DSG, paddles, LED lights and loads of standard kit for £15,700 for
