Skoda suspends production of the Fabia Rally2 Evo

It's not just the gifts that will be missing under the tree due to supply problems... There won't be a Skoda Fabia Rally2 Evo either! The Czech brand has announced that it is suspending production of the best-seller in the category (more than 400 copies sold!), because it is facing an insoluble problem. “ The concerns faced by the global automotive industry and its supply chains, as a result of the pandemic, are unfortunately affecting the motorsport segment, explained Michal Hrabanek, head of Skoda Motorsport.
