265 hp... XDS mechanism (diff?)... 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in barely 6.2 seconds... 19 inch alloys... 345 x 30 mm front disc brakes with 286 x 12 mm at the rear... white LED lighting on the instrument dials... :drool: Sounds good to me!

it has some in consistencies , 345mm is not 17 inches , more 13.5 inches same inconsistency on the rear.

what does it bring over the standard cupra? electronic slip diff and 25 bhp? and 19" alloy wheels , woopdy doo , NOT.

REALLY DISSAPOINTED , only thimg that will save it for me is a wide body kit like the touring cars , and if it comes with that bloody aero kit i will never buy another seat again ever !

Is that it?!

What a let down if it is. Hopefully it will look much better when unveiled at frankfurt. The pictures of that green one look exactly the same as the standard cupra.... :doh:

I agree with the previous posts, it doesn't look agressive enough and there isn't really enough extra oomph to make others sit up and take notice. Also I thought they had done away with the "R" badging?

I thought the reason they brought in the FR was to replace the Cupra and the Cupra then became the Cupra R because as I understood it "Cupra" means Cup Racing and the "R" meant Racing, which meant the Cupra R would stand for Cup Racing Racing lol

Or am I talking balls?

I think the main point is no one really wanted a Leon Cupra that looks the same with 20bhp more. I think its safe to assume that everyone wants a cupra r that is distinctive from the cupra and k1 that has the extra umpphhh - possibly something to bring them closer to the RS.
