headquarter, we are prepared for the future challenges. Due to an improved workflow, we can

develop and built up cars even more efficient and make our service for our customers even better.

Last year, our target was to provide more than 200 FABIA R5 to customers worldwide. And we

delivered! Up to now, almost 250 FABIA were sold. In order to keep that momentum, these new

premises are an ideal foundation for the future success of our motorsport program.”
