A senior Skoda executive has revealed the next Fabia vRS will only be available with a DSG gearbox and that a conventional manual will not be an option.
The eagerly awaited Fabia vRS follow-up will also be powered by a petrol engine and should boast 'upwards of 170bhp' said the insider. This means it should be substantially quicker than the old model and sprint to 60mph in less than 8 seconds and with a top speed of 140mph.
The decision to fit the DSG and not offer a conventional manual has been taken on performance and emissions grounds. The new Fabia vRS has also been confirmed to go on sale in June 2010 with prices expected to start at around £16,000.
