Škoda Auto explores Sweden! The Czech carmaker is organizing a 4×4 Winter Experience event in central Sweden. The complete portfolio of all-wheel drive Škoda models, including the all-electric Enyaq iV series, will be presented in the kingdom of nearly 100,000 lakes, which also boasts a well-developed industry and world-leading sustainable energy sector. Participants can look forward to scenic drives, featuring unspoilt nature and exciting activities focused on the cars’ handling on a frozen lake. The highlights of the event will be co-driving the Fabia RS Rally2 and an attempt to break a world record for the longest continuous drift on ice with the Enyaq RS iV.Sweden has a thriving economy, with efficient forestry and industry. Half of the country is covered by forests, and agricultural land accounts for about 10% of the total area. The Swedish landscape, which is relatively flat, is dotted with nearly 100,000 lakes, creating a plentiful supply of water. In the central Swedish province of Jämtland, the city of Östersund stands on the shore of the country’s fifth largest lake, Storsjön. There and on the nearby island of Frösön, Škoda Auto is hosting the 4×4 Winter Experience event. The university town of Östersund, with a population of about 50,000, is well known as a venue for winter sports such as biathlon and speed skating.

The ideal piece of sports equipment is undoubtedly available to Kahle again: the 130 RS is one of the most successful models in ŠKODA's more than 120-year motorsport history. The greatest triumphs of the rear-wheel drive, also known as the 'Porsche of the East', include victory in the manufacturers' classification of the European Touring Car Championship in 1981 and the double victory in the 1977 Monte Carlo Rally in the category up to 1,300 cc displacement. Even if the Eifel Rallye Festival is not about best times: Since the mostly newly selected demonstration routes are closed to public traffic, Kahle can uninhibitedly demonstrate the potential of the 130 RS and race through the tests at real competitive speed.The same applies to the other privately owned ŠKODA vehicles that can be seen at the Eifel Rallye Festival – and have also played their part in the history of the World Rally Championship, which was held for the first time in 1972. Among other things, the fans can look forward to two FABIA WRCs. These World Rally Cars were created on the basis of the first-generation standard ŠKODA FABIA RS. While the five-door hatchback model with a 96 kW (130 hp) TDI diesel engine was at the dealerships, the FABIA WRC has a turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with a displacement of two liters, 221 kW (300 hp) and a maximum torque of 600 Nm. In the World Rally Championship, the ŠKODA FABIA WRC made its debut in the 2003 Rally Germany.
