SEAT says the cupra monicker is being reserved for a hotter version later in the year, while an even spicier Cupra R is on the cards for 2005 and promises to be the first Ibiza to join the 200-plus bhp club. Meanwhile, the FR is as good as it gets for now. The badge stands for Formula Racing and the Ibiza is the first SEAT to use it. In future, FR badging will apply to all of its entry-level sports models.

or is it just journo BS. Ive not heard anything have any of you?

I thought the cupra r name was dropped from now on.

If its true sound like it will be the 2.0FSI Turbo unit going into the Golf GTI - 200bhp.

From now on:
Cupra R = Cupra
Cupra = FR

Stupidly confusing i know. Let's hope SEAT don't stuff up the new Ibiza Cupra as i'm not keen on the FR version pics so far.

thats what i thought as well.

what im thinking is.

the petrol ibiza cupra comes out in about august with confirmed 1.8T 180bhp but i wonder if after a while maybe a year it gets the 200bhp 2.0 TSI unit from the new golf GTI. Its sort of what they did with the leon cupra R.

This does look like what they will replace the 1.8T throughtout VW and Audi lines.
