After \u0160koda’s 180 RS and 200 RS had only been successful in motorsport for a very short time, the Czechs quickly set to work on a new design for 1975. While the two predecessor models had started in the prototype class, the new model was deliberately intended to remain close to series production so that it could also compete in international competitions. The 110 R, whose coup\u00e9 body had been added to the range of rear-engines models from 1970, was again used as the base vehicle. For some private customers, rally cars with sedan or coup\u00e9 bodies were built even before 1975. However, these variants could do little in the overall standings of international rallies and circuit races. The new 130 RS was developed using design elements and knowledge gained from the few outings of the 180 RS and 200 RS models. The numbering already makes it clear that this car was positioned lower down in terms of performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up to 142 hp from 1.3 liters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 130 RS made its racing debut in April 1975 on the Most circuit. Just one month later, two units were on the grid at the European Touring Car Championship in Brno and immediately took third and fourth place in the class up to two liters of displacement. For 1976, the FIA changed the regulations and required the use of technology components that were also found in the production cars. \u0160koda therefore had to change from a five- to a four-speed gearbox. A four-cylinder engine with an initial displacement of 1,289 cc and 82.8 kW\/112.5 hp worked in the rear. Based on customer experience, \u0160koda engineers continued to develop the engine. In the process, they increased the displacement to 1,299.6 cc, the exact limit for the class below 1.3 liters. In contrast to the production engine of the 110 R, the powerplant was given a cast-iron eight-valve cylinder head and dry sump lubrication. At the end of the development period, 105 kW\/142 hp were available.<\/p>\n\n\n
