About ten years after the debut of the 130 RS, \u0160koda presented a new rally car. This means we are talking about the early 1980s and thus the age of Group B. With the introduction of this category, the motorsport authority FIA had simultaneously abolished the previous Group 2. This forced small manufacturers like \u0160koda to develop new vehicles. An adequate rally variant was therefore developed on the basis of the four-door 130 L saloon (known as the “Estelle” in some export markets). However, this version deliberately didn’t compete in the large class that fans still associate with Group B today. \u0160koda was therefore not in direct competition with Audi, Peugeot, Ford or Lancia, but started one class below. So it was no problem that the rear of the car only housed a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical modification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For this engine, \u0160koda developed a new eight-port cylinder head made of aluminium. This made its debut in series production shortly afterwards in the new compact model Favorit. By using two twin Weber carburetors, power increased to around 130 hp in the rally car called the 130 LR. A five-speed manual transmission and a rear-axle limited-slip differential transferred the power to the ground. In addition, the rear axle received new kinematics for more ground clearance and an additional stabilizer bar. The front axle also featured various modifications compared with the standard sedan. Disc brakes were used all round, with additional internal ventilation at the front. The distribution of the braking effect could be adjusted from the cockpit. Another new feature for \u0160koda was a hydraulic handbrake.<\/p>\n\n\n
