It looks like Skoda might produce a series version of its Fabia RS+ prototype which was presented at the 2010 Worthersee event. Inspired by the Fabia S2000 rally model, the Skoda Fabia RS+ marks the ultimate sports version of the little hatch which would apparently be particularly appealing to the UK market as a hotted up Fabia vRS.

The UK has already taken on board models like the Renault Clio RS Cup and the Megane R26R and the Fabia RS could present another serious hot hatch at a reasonable cost. The vehicle has a very distinctive look (at least in prototype form) and some of the aesthetics could be carried onto a production model, including the larger front bumper and rear diffuser.

The Fabia RS production version would keep its 1.4-litre engine with 180 hp but should get new wheels and modifications to the suspension system. While a tuned version would be particularly interesting, the modifications may turn up as after-market dealer options, but this is one to watch all the same.
