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.
