It"s got the class-leading...
It"s got the class-leading Renault Clio and new Vauxhall Corsa in its sights - as well as the sales success of its predecessor. But let"s be clear. Meeting expectations in 2007 will require something very special. After all, the original Fabia accounts for half of all Skodas on the UK"s roads, and a total of 1.5 million have found homes around the world.
The second Swedish supercar...
The second Swedish supercar after the awesome Koeniggsegg is due to launch this autumn. It"s got all the things you"d expect of a supercar - gorgeous looks, a painted carbonfibre body, a 6-speed gearbox, and a chassis seemingly made from feathers and balsa wood, seeing as the whole car weighs a paltry 525kgs.
Marry this weight to the 2.4-litre V8 that promises between 380 and 525bhp depending on tweaks, and you should go from gazing at the pretty red traffic light to braking for the national speed limit in a little under 3 seconds.
The makers, headed by Clas Müller, aim to provide this ultimate Zonda-level performance for a fraction of the price - still over ÷£100,000, but a long way short of the third-of-a-million you face for the Zonda, Enzo or vowel-munching Koeniggsegg.
