hmmm not as nice as the first shape cupra r in my opinion

 

[Leonidas]

Wat a beast

 

[Feel]

Not liking the Stuck on Front "R", but everything else looks good. Same suspension then? Those Seats are sex...

the 1M Cupra R in the looks department was and stiil is a stunner.
it has intimidating predator looks like its won the race even before its started.
lets see what this 1P Cupra R looks looks like in the flesh.
these pictures dont tickle my fancy and wont reall scare anyone.

For me it still looks too similar to the cupra and fr. In a perfect world the fr cupra and cupra r would all have their own distinctive bumpers, not just the same bumper with a few extra black bits. Compared to the mk1 this isn't As visually stricking IMO. Having said all that it's still a fantastic looking car!

Gotta agree, styling wise, they have hardly "pushed the boundaries"

Looks pretty similar to the standard Cupra, disappointing

 

[AndrewJB]

Yep needs some new bumpers

The colour also doesnt do it any justice as a hot hatch , Red or Yellow is needed

 

[mhill]

Love the interior, and i may go take a look at one on the flesh once the dealers have them.

 

[Ronin225]

I didnt think they would ever do an R version of the mk2
Have to say though disappointed in the similarities between the look of this an the cupra, to the untrained eye you probably wouldnt notice
A last sporty stab for the mk2 before its retired but i would rather wait to see what replaces it

 

[ArosaRacer]

if thats all they can do then they need shooting, it looks minging

 

[Dyscontinued]

Check the thread in Mk2 Leon section for more **** throwing.

Nice to the cupra R back and to look at it looks nice but there not the wow as the cupra to cupra MK1 had if you know what i mean

 

[RobDon]

Looks the same as any other Mk2 Leon - major dissapointment!

 

[kenboon]

I think the K1 looks better and I really don't like that colour.

 

[ATP]

looks nice... but agree looks like a normal leon with trinkets... should be a lot more in your face to carry the badge

 

[si-mate]

I think the K1 looks better and I really don't like that colour.

Agreed. The MK1 Cupra R styling is still preferable.

Although that interior is really nice

 

[the cat]

I can remember speculating the return of the Cupra R in the "other" forum some time ago only to be told that it would never happen. It's nice to be vindicated...

Anyway, still like the shape of the mk2 but my god, they could have gone a bit further than just sticking on two "R" badges and calling it a day (19 inch wheels aside). That said, I think I'll reserve judgment until someone road tests it...

 

[DanGB]

same interior as the normal Cupra though

Spot on that man!
