In 1936, ŠKODA created a sensation for the first time at the MONTE CARLO Rally, which had been taking place since 1911. Zdeněk Pohl / Jaroslav Hausman drove the ŠKODA POPULAR to a second place finish in the 1,500-cc category and ŠKODA subsequently launched a sporty road version of this model (pictured) – this was the birth of the MONTE CARLO model family.

There was a further major achievement at the Rallye Monte Carlo in 1977. At the wheel of a ŠKODA 130 RS, the ŠKODA works teams masterminded a 1-2 finish in the category for cars up to 1,300 cc. This feat was duplicated in the WRC2 category precisely 40 years later in 2017, with another 1-2 finish for the FABIA R5, a just as exceptional rally car.

The ŠKODA family of models continues this long-running tradition by offering three compact models – the FABIA, SCALA and KAMIQ – in a MONTE CARLO version teeming with style and racing spirit so that you too can become part of ŠKODA’s long rally history.
