    Continued in Fabia R5, even in tarmac spec:

    Fiesta has 178kmh on standard gearbox and 187kmh on longer one.
    Peugeot indeed has long gearbox with max speed above 200, but it takes really long to reach that speed.

    With WRC cars it's more possibilities as most of them (all which I saw) have gearboxes with drop gears, so you can change different gears ratios, final gear ratios and drop gears...

    I presume the Fabia in the onboard video was using the longer gearbox as it wasn't on the limiter at 182. Good news as the acceleration seemed strong.

    AFAIK standard gearbox of Fabia R5 has top speed over 190 km/h.

    What about the long one?

    The engine must indeed be very strong. I must say I have never heard Skoda as confident as this.
