¦koda Motorsport: 125 years of competition to understand 130 years of history
Skoda Favorit (1989)
But if there's one car that directly connects that tradition with the brand's modern sporting explosion, it's the legendary ¦koda 130 RS. Popularly known as "Ereso," this lightweight and robust coupé became a true benchmark in European rallying during the late 70s and early 80s. Its victory in its class at the 1977 Monte Carlo Rally forever marked ¦koda's sporting history. The evolution continued throughout the 1990s with the ¦koda Favorit 136 L/H, a key car in the transition to modern motorsport. Starting with the road-going Favorit introduced in 1989, ¦koda developed variants for rallying, hill climbs, and international circuits, including entries at the Nürburgring in the Veedol Cup.In the 21st century, ¦koda definitively began to build its contemporary sporting identity with the Octavia RS. Equipped with a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine producing 180 horsepower and capable of reaching 235 km/h, it became the fastest production ¦koda ever built up to that point. The limited edition created to celebrate ¦koda Motorsport's centenary also helped to definitively solidify the RS designation within the brand.
