Special editions and motorsport success
Throughout its career, the Škoda Felicia was offered in a variety of special versions and editions. In 1995, the top-of-the-range Laurin & Klement trim line was introduced for the first time with this model. A year later, the Atlanta special edition was released in honour of the Summer Olympic Games. Other notable editions included Sport Line, Color Line, Excellent, Magic, Family, and Mystery, the latter featuring a motif based on the Prague Astronomical Clock. When the final Škoda Felicia rolled off the production line in June 2001, the total number of units produced reached an impressive 1,401,489 vehicles.
The Felicia proved its robustness, durability, and versatility in motorsport as well, competing in the World Rally Championship between 1995 and 1997, where it regularly topped the overall standings. The Škoda Felicia Kit Car was powered by 1.3, 1.5, and later 1.6-litre four-cylinder engines, with the latter tuned by the Škoda Motorsport team to deliver up to 174 horsepower. Over the course of its rallying career, the Škoda Felicia Kit Car earned a reputation for reliability and excellent handling – much like its standard production counterparts, which continue to serve faithfully to this day.
