In 2025, the Technical Development Division focused not only on advancing Škoda products, but also on enhancing its own facilities and internal processes. Standout developments included the launch of the Fabia 130, a model developed to mark the brand’s 130th anniversary in record time, the all-new Škoda Vision O concept, signalling the near future of estate cars, and an updated iteration of the Škoda Enyaq RS Race electric racing concept. The current Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 also enjoyed another highly successful season. The year also involved intensive preparation for a broad set of legislative requirements essential to maintaining stability across the Division’s development pipeline.

Success with customers and in rallies
In 2025, the Škoda Motorsport team continued to refine the Škoda Fabia RS Rally2, preparing a comprehensive upgrade package – Packet 25 – that delivered higher performance, improved reliability, and greater crew comfort. Enhancements included an optimised exhaust system, new engine control software, more durable gravel dampers, improved protection for powertrain and suspension components, a redesigned air intake channelling ventilation from the roof into the cabin, and new, lightweight seats.
Customer teams received 94 Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 cars in 2025, including the milestone 200th vehicle. This brought total sales within the Rally2 project to 716, allowing the Škoda brand to retain its leading position in the category. The fact that the programme remains commercially successful after ten years underlines the quality and competitiveness of Škoda’s rally cars, as well as the strength of the technical support provided by Škoda Motorsport.
