Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 Gets a Savage Upgrade Package

Škoda has taken its already successful rally weapon and cranked it up a few notches. The name? Packet 25. Yes, it may sound like a fast-food combo meal or something you’d find next to curtains in a Scandinavian furniture store, but in reality, it’s a full-blown technical assault aimed straight at the apex of every corner.

First up: a completely reworked exhaust system that reduces gas flow resistance by a whopping 27%. In human terms, that means more power, less wheezing, and an angrier, throatier soundtrack — loud enough to make spectators vibrate like tuning forks.

Then there's the suspension, beefed up to better withstand brutal punishment on gravel stages. The Škoda engineers have swapped seals, reinforced the rear upright protection, and introduced new uniball seals that are more durable than most modern marriages.

On the comfort front, a redesigned roof vent channels more fresh air into the cabin (without letting in rain, thankfully), and the new racing seats are two kilos lighter — because as every rally driver knows, every single kilogram matters, especially when it’s strapped directly to your backside.

And the best bit? It’s not just for new buyers. Every existing Fabia RS Rally2 owner can get these upgrades fitted as well. So if you already own this little Czech rocket, you can now give it even more bite in the bends — and perhaps just enough edge to make your rivals sweat.
