Milton Keynes, 9th April 2013 – The Monte Carlo TECH model comes with an enhanced specification over the standard Monte Carlo model. Limited to 1,000 cars, the newcomer benefits from a state-of-the-art 'Amundsen' satellite navigation system and Bluetooth connectivity at no extra cost to the customer.

These are in addition to the striking sport-style exterior, which includes a piano-black body trim, black door mirror covers, a black radiator grille top, smoked headlamps and black 17-inch lightweight 'Trinity' alloy wheels.

Inside, the all black sports seats boast additional side support. Both Monte Carlo TECH versions come with black roof lining, a perforated leather steering wheel with red stitching, and a leather handbrake and gearstick gaiter. To complete the look, silver kick plates and steel pedals are fitted as standard.

The ŠKODA Monte Carlo TECH is available in two striking colour combinations – red with a black roof or white with a black roof. There are two engine choices, a 1.2-litre TSI 105PS petrol and a 1.6-litre TDI 105PS diesel. Sales of each will be restricted to just 500 units. The cars are priced at £11,990 OTR and £12,960 OTR respectively.

Customers can opt to pay with a 7.9% APR Personal Contract Plan (PCP) or Hire Purchase (HP) agreement available through ŠKODA Finance. The offer includes free servicing based on three years / 30,000 miles.

Alasdair Stewart, Brand Director for ŠKODA UK, commented: “Offering customers exceptional value is at the heart of our business. Since its launch in 2011 the Fabia Monte Carlo has proven to be a huge success for ŠKODA and we’re certain that this latest addition to the model line will build on this.”

The ŠKODA Fabia Monte Carlo was launched in January 2011 to celebrate 100 years of the Monte Carlo Rally, and to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the company’s motorsport commitment. It has been a huge success for the brand in the UK and more than 4,000 have been sold since launch.
