02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionFabia WRC cars produced in total | 241,2 | Factory production | Factory reported |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Škoda confirmed the project at the 2003 Monte Carlo Rally start, showed the car at Geneva in March 2003, and the FIA homologated it on 1 July 2003 after Škoda had built the required 2,500 Fabia RS. It debuted at the 2003 Rally Germany. Drivers included Didier Auriol, Toni Gardemeister, Armin Schwarz, Roman Kresta and Colin McRae. Škoda announced in November 2005 that it would stop WRC entries. 24 Fabia WRCs were built in all.
