As you say, they were never numbered originally. It was the guys on the MK5 GTi and Golf GTi forums that organised it and VW have sent out the numbers to people who have asked for one. H8 TWP tried to do the same with the
K1 and did not succeed as far as I know.
As for the
K1, there must as many out there as there are Cupras despite them being for sale for a shorter period of time. With the extra price over the
Cupra, it just goes to show money cant buy taste
There is no difference between the
Cupra and
K1 other than the Aero/BTCC kit as seen on any Leon with the same kit, so it is not at all different looks wise save for the
Cupra brakes,
Cupra wheels and central exhaust.
For sure the FR looks similar to the
Cupra, but at least they are close in the model line up and not poles apart like the Ref Sport diesel.
One would have to assume the
Cupra to be faster than the
K1 though as it is not carrying about as much weight as its ugly brother known as the
K1
