The Škoda Fabia WRC, a weapon on asphalt
Developed in the mid-2000s, the Škoda Fabia WRC marked the official entry of the Czech brand into the elite of world rallying. This competition version of the popular city car Fabia featured a completely redesigned chassis and a 2.0 turbo engine developing nearly 300 horsepower, in accordance with the World Rally Car regulations of the time.
The Fabia WRC stood out for its advanced technical design: permanent all-wheel drive, electronically controlled limited-slip differentials, and significant suspension travel to absorb the most spectacular jumps. Its studied aerodynamics and optimized weight distribution made it a formidable opponent on all types of surfaces.
The model had an immediate success in competition, winning several World Championship titles in its early seasons and establishing itself as a reference in the WRC category, paving the way for Škoda's future dominance in WRC2.
Škoda, from craftsmanship to high technology
In 2010, Škoda was undergoing a period of remarkable sporting renaissance. Integrated into the Volkswagen Group since 1991, the brand had embarked on a profound transformation of its image, moving from a popular manufacturer to a serious competitor in all segments. The commitment to WRC was part of this upgrading strategy.
The history of Škoda dates back to 1895 when Václav Laurin and Václav Klement created their bicycle company in Mladá Boleslav. Becoming a car manufacturer in 1905, then a iconic brand of Czechoslovakia, Škoda already had a rich motorsport tradition with its successes in rallying during the 1970s-80s. The return to WRC with the Fabia represented a return to sporty roots, modernized by German technical expertise.
Nicolas Vouilloz, from mountain biking to Monte-Carlo specials
One of the most fascinating features of this Škoda Fabia WRC number 7 lies in the atypical profile of its main driver, Nicolas Vouilloz. Before taking the wheel of this rally car, the Frenchman was a living legend in downhill mountain biking, a discipline in which he dominated the world stage for nearly a decade.
World Champion in mountain biking ten times between 1992 and 2001, Vouilloz already possessed exceptional speed mastery on difficult terrain when he decided to switch to motorsport. His transition to rallying, initiated in the mid-2000s, perfectly illustrated his adaptability and his innate sense of trajectory, acquired during his dizzying mountain descents.
At Monte-Carlo 2010, teamed with co-driver Benjamin Veillas, Vouilloz demonstrated that his talent extended beyond mountain trails. The snowy and icy roads of the Monaco rally demanded the same millimeter precision and risk management as his former disciplines, making this transition one of the most successful in French motorsport.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
