It would have been an excellent alternative to the Suzuki Swift Sport.

Skoda made it clear that it will not give its Fabia supermini hot hatch treatment with the RS badge, citing a low demand. Some people still long for a revival Fabia RS. One that is based on the updated model. Hungary’s X-Tomi Design decided to digitally alter the Czech five-door hatch to make it more affordable than the VW Polo GTI.

The 19-inch blacked out alloy wheels and red brake calipers of the Octavia RS bring sportiness to the Fabia RS. It borrows the front bumper design it has from its larger brother. Skoda did not split the headlights in half with the Fabia’s midcycle refresh. The B-segment model doesn’t lose any charm and would still look great dressed in RS attire.

The Fabia is now further removed from a hot derivative, taking into consideration that the 1.4 TSI engine has been discontinued. Buyers will have to choose between a naturally aspirated 1.0 liter MPI engine and a turbocharged 1.0 liter TSI engine. Since the turbodiesel is also retired, these three-cylinder engines will be the only options.

The limited edition is your best choice for a Fabia R5 performance car. The special supermini, which will go on sale in March, is based on Monte Carlo’s high-end trim. It also features sporty accents, 125 horsepower, and the 1.4-liter TSI engine. Although it isn’t RS-worthy, the supermini can go from 0 to 62 mph in 8.8 seconds to reach a top speed of 126 mph (203 kph). It will be made available in select European countries, and the production limit will be 1,300.
