Skoda is taking its Fabia supermini racing and the car will have four-wheel drive and 280bhp.
The Fabia will compete in the Super 2000 Series that has been set up to allow more cost-efficient racing at the highest level.
Skoda says the Fabia 2000 is still a prototype but has started testing the car and should announce the real racer early in the 2008 season.
When the finished car is ready, Skoda will race the car at national and international levels, and it will also offer the racer to private teams.
The Fabia 2000 uses a 2.0-litre engine with 280bhp, six-speed sequential manual gearbox and four-wheel drive.
Skoda would not say if the Super 2000 will spawn a road-going hot hatch version, but there will be a new Fabia vRS towards the end of 2008.
