A really very Brisk Fabia (http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/225674/#)

16 May 2007





Here's one Skoda Fabia you won’t see in your local supermarket car park. This seriously muscled machine is a one-off built for appropriately named Czech automotive component manufacturer Brisk, and it packs 494bhp.
The Brisk RS01 WRC, to give it its full title, is based on the first-generation Fabia, but as you will have noticed, little of the original car remains.
The hatchback body has been turned into a coupe, and the engine is anything but standard. Amazingly, the motor is based on the VW Group 2.0 TFSI, as used in the Octavia vRS, but with the wick turned up beyond 11. That means you get 494bhp at 7800rpm and 443lb ft at 3700rpm.
With a kerbweight of 1000kg, performance isn't just brisk, it's super-brisk, with 0-62mph taking 2.7sec.
The RS01 borrows some of its parts from the Skoda Fabia WRC rally car, including the Prodrive-developed six-speed sequential gearbox.
Brisk says that it will be running the car in some rallies, mainly as a promotional tool. It certainly caught our attention.

WOW !

A Fabia with 494bhp and all that from A VW 2.0 TFSI ! WOW !

I like !!

I have always liked the Fabias even the standard ones.

hmmmm....nice:)

Oh My God........500bhp, and 443lb ft of torque, and only weighing a ton? Christ, that's one incredible power to weight ratio! And it looks great aswell, super-wde body kit, I was wondering until someone tuned up one of these Fabias, and keeping the same engine aswell, great work from Brisk.

looks good !! 1000 kg's .. 450+ bhp .. definite pocket rocket

0-62mph in under 3 seconds? And in a Skoda?

*Gaspppppp*

ehh, why do that to a Skoda?

ehh, why do that to a Skoda?

lol, why not ?

Bout time, I love this car. We dont have them in the states (as I know of.) I see them in europe all the time and love the bodystyle. Hope that maybe they will one day make the move over.

Love the whole thing, Cant wait to see it in black, i bet itll look great.

wait a minute does that thing rev or 11000....i think thats what it said on there or is that referin to somethin else??

It certainly does the acceleration dashes in good time, With a minimal kerbweight it would be a blast at the track.

Still, I cant help but think it might struggle after it reaches 100km/h.

It sure does have some pleasing perforamance stats, however, I don't really happen to prefer the looks. Very boxy shape, and the headlights seem somewhat distorted as well, as well as the body design, it's very wide and fat...... And holy molies, Oh My god, it does 0-60 in 2.7 seconds!!!! :eek: This car is a serious performance beast! That's just crazy!....

Wow, this car is insane! It reminds me of the Skoda Fabia WRC car. Especially the front bumper and it's wide mouth design. That makes it looks really aggressive but in that photo it looks boxy and fat. But the performance is the oppose, 494hp! Thats a lot and even more harder to believe is that it can do 0-60 in 2.9secs! Thats in the supercar range!:eek:

500hp in a 1000kg car? oh gosh thats amazing, its like having 400hp in an ariel atom...

whatever, this looks awsome, it must be a great rally car, a coupe sounds cool, and 2.7 to 62mph, wow, thats fast, just imagine that on the roads lol, VW shuold be proud of their engines

:eek: WOW!! That something! I don't know much about Skoda but this ca is going to be freakin' awesome. Almost 500 bhp from VW FSI 2.0 turbo engine and it just wights only a ton.:eek: I would love to see one these in the states. That would be amazing!!:D

A really nice Fabia.Oh i like it.It has 500hp and the engine has been swapped.Now it has a 2.0tfsi engine..That's extremely fast if we think that does 0-100km/h in 2.7secs.

Here are more pics...

Look it from the back..They customized the whole rear side..It looks like the octavia,i think.Awesome car.Also the width and the length of the car have a lot increased.Really good.

well this looks pretty weird, but i mena, its great looking seeing that its a conversion, it looks uber cute, i dont know why, its like a baby...lol, very cute, but who cares, theres loads of stickers later on, it will cover the cuteness...lol

Shouldnt be so surprised because its using the WRC engine and quite a lot else from that area but still very impressive- should make 1 street legal though to scare some supercars !

Holy fook that looks nice. But I would have preffered it if they kept the original body style. How cool would that be, sitting in a Skoda Fabia with 1.6 diesel on the back or something but having a huge 494bhp engine underneath the bonnet.:p

Well, that's a first.

The back looks quite nice I reckon. Has a better stance, and the interior is pretty stripped out. Nice, nice, and 0-60 in 2.7? Holy crap, that's fast.

2.7-second 0-60... damn that's funky!

Thats not a WRC engine they based it on the octavia vrs engine

As far as i'm aware WRC cars produce a lot less power than that, cause they are restricted in intake diameter

that is sooo fast man... The VW group 2.0 tfsi is like the european equivalent of the 4g63... maybe??? coz they can produce so much horsepower. nice car lol.

2.7 secs, I supose this hasn't been tested yet?
It looks promessing, but a 500hp and skoda, it kinda contradicts.
