The illustrious McRae motorsport legacy has returned to the spotlight through an exclusive collaboration between British dealership Simpsons Skoda and Max McRae. The manufacturer has introduced an ultra-rare special edition of their sporty supermini, with production strictly limited to just ten examples worldwide for dedicated collectors and enthusiasts.
The Fabia McRae Edition immediately stands out from standard trims thanks to bespoke graphics and badges adorning its flanks and tailgate. The front grille features striking green accent stripes, while the lower front spoiler, door mirrors, and alloy wheels are finished in a matching green hue that accentuates its aggressive motorsport stance. A dedicated McRae badge replaces the standard graphics on the rear tailgate to cement its exclusivity.
Every buyer will receive a certificate of authenticity personally signed by Max McRae, alongside a personal video message upon vehicle delivery. Inside the cabin, an individually numbered plaque features a silhouette profile of the rally driver's Fabia RS Rally2 charger. Furthermore, buyers gain the unique opportunity to book private track-driving tuition with Max McRae, who narrowly missed out on claiming the British rally title this season.
Beneath the bonnet, the front-wheel-drive supermini houses an upgraded version of the Volkswagen Group's 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. Output has been boosted from 148 horsepower to an impressive 177 horsepower. Coupled with a revised DSG automatic transmission featuring recalibrated Sport driving modes, the vehicle sprints from zero to 100 kilometres per hour in 7.4 seconds, making it the fastest production Fabia of all time.
Handling prowess is enhanced by sports suspension lowered by 15 millimetres and heavily revised steering tuned for larger alloy wheels. This release continues a storied tradition of rally driver special editions, following iconic models like the 1996 Subaru Impreza Series McRae celebrating Colin McRae's WRC title, as well as recent special editions bearing the names of modern stars like Kalle Rovanpera and Sebastien Ogier.
