No chance for 01/01/2015...

Ufffff why not?

Sometimes Skoda are too cautious. By 01.01.2015 it will already have been testing for 16 months.

But VW could put the R5 stuff almost right into a Polo, before the new Fabia roadcar is on the street?? And then we will have couple of new twins as the 208 and DS3!

There must be road version of new Fabia first (new bodyshell)

They have only tested old fabia with 1.6T and it´s not 100% same thing.

That's not the problem. Production of Fabia III is going to start during Q3. 2500 pieces is circa one week production. The car already exists for many months and is being tested in secrecy (I mean stock one). I would not be surprised if they already tested R5 in new shell too. Only a fraction of tests is public.

They could....

That's fine by me as long as Skoda are allowed a Fabia WRC in return

Some time a go I heard about Polo R5 being developed for VW South Africa independently from Škoda but I don't know if that was true.

Once more Fabia R5 in Greece

You forgot to tell that 25 000 cars of the same family must also have been produced.

For some peculiar way I’ve missed this page and post (below). I couldn’t find this customer information, only a purchase order form. The price includes also the standard road car parts but what other parts has to be removed from the list before the price is down to 180.000 €? €? I assume the price also includes some training & instructions for assembling the car and some documentations.
