A pure rally car without electronic assistance<br />

The ŠKODA FABIA R5s are not<br />

equipped with driver assisted<br />

electronics. The installed sensors<br />

are for engine control, brake<br />

pressure, steering wheel position<br />

and fuel level. The mass-produced<br />

engine, from which the racing<br />

engine of the ŠKODA FABIA R5 is<br />

derived, was originally introduced in<br />

the Volkswagen Lamando and<br />

ŠKODA Superb cars for the Chinese<br />

market. Engine capacity was<br />

reduced from 1.8 l to 1.6 l, with a new<br />

crank<br />

mechanism specially developed<br />

for rally conditions.<br />

The valve distribution and<br />

cylinder replacement system has<br />

been completely redesigned in<br />

order to ensure ideal conditions<br />

for replacement and cylinder<br />

filling.<br />

The engines are equipped with a<br />

modified turbocharger from the<br />

Audi S3, and the oil system and<br />

the engine ventilation system<br />

have been completely<br />

redesigned.
