We don’t cover the VW Group’s Czech brand, Škoda, round these parts considerably, but a bitchin’ rally vehicle seems as good a cause as any. (So was this innovative industrial.) Meet the Škoda Fabia R 5, which has been below improvement for the previous 15 months but was just authorized by the FIA for worldwide competitors. We’re seriously digging on the funky, teardrop wheel wells the cantilevered wing out back and the hyper-chiseled bodywork. Also: roof snorkel!

A 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder makes somewhere north of 265 horsepower its predecessor, the Fabia Super 2000, created 275. Output is routed through a 5-speed sequential transmission and on to all 4 wheels. Suspension is by struts all around. Minimum weight per FIA regulations is 2711 pounds, and the car is said to BWAAA! BWAAA! most righteously on asphalt, ice, gravel, snow, or dirt.
