The 59th edition of the RACC-Costa Daurada Rally was the setting chosen by Skoda to present the limited edition Fabia Rally2 of “Cohete” Suárez, a unique edition for the Spanish market and limited to just 100 units which, due to its merits , makes it the most powerful and exclusive road Fabia of the entire range. With this launch, Skoda Spain pays homage to the titles obtained by José Antonio “Cohete” Suárez in the Spanish Super Rally Championship (S-CER) in 2021 and 2023 and to the title of the brand.

In the mechanical part, it is associated with a sports chassis lowered by 15 mm and incorporates an improvement kit from the company ABT Sportsline, thanks to which the 1.5 TSI four-cylinder petrol engine is associated with the 7-speed automatic gearbox with double clutch DSG .

It reaches 190 HP of power and 290 Nm of torque, making it the most powerful Fabia of the current generation. «For me it is an honor, I am very excited. Skoda has given my name to a unique model that replicates the car we compete with and celebrates the victories we worked so hard to achieve in the Spanish Super Rally Championship. Without a doubt, a great incentive to repeat the victory this season, both in the drivers and brands section,” says José Antonio “Cohete” Suárez.
