Skoda Fabia vRS breaks SEVEN national speed records

The new Fabia vRS faced its biggest challenge to date when Five's Fifth Gear team succeeded in using one to break SEVEN nation speed records.

Presenter Jonny Smith took the Fabia vRS to the high-speed bowl track at Millbrook and broke the speed records for 5km, 5 miles, 10km, 10 miles, 50km, 50 miles and 100km  - all of which have stood for over 20 years!

In their recent review, the Fifth Gear team say of the new Fabia vRS 'If you are looking for a zippy little supermini that doesn’t come with some of the compromises that the hot-hatch title often brings, then the Fabia is well up to the task.'

The Fabia vRS is available from Motorline Skoda in Canterbury and Dartford.
