'Standard Cupra'

Hello there, I just couldn't let go some of 'em ppls threads sayin': "My Standard Cupra nah nah, my Cupra blah blah..." and driving (in best opinion) Top Sport... OK, I've got nothing against replicas, but someone should get their sh..mess straight... Producer have his reasons to call that version Cupra, because it's top range of that particular model! (for the sake of lots of differencies: not only engine power, but bodykit, suspension, seats, wheels, ets, ets..too many to list)
For the same reason why I don't call my grandpa's BMW325 'Stock M3'!!! Or C-class Merc 'Stock AMG', or Boxter 'Stock GT3', or... (You've got a point, haven't You?!)
Only Stock Cupra I can think of is SEAT Leon Cupra 210bhp (without "R")
LCR= SEAT Leon Cupra R 225bhp (with "R")
Cupra 4= SEAT Leon Copra 2.8l V6 4x4 200bhp
And I think there's some diesel one, dunno the specs...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I couldn't find any other Cupras and god I've been looking...
Your 1.8 20V and 1.8 20VT may look quite similar and have the same color, but it's NOT a Cupra!! That's why the manufacturer didn't use 'Cupra' logo on it (eBoo stickers won't make it too) and there's nothing about Cupra in its papers...

I'm sorry if I offended someone, but it's the same thing as calling a cat 'tiger' coz it has hairs too... I don't mind angry pussycat, but not sure about the other one... ((((
Don't get me wrong my point just is: it's not a same thing, thank You

What? Are you drunk?

Or maybe foreign. In the UK the only petrol Leon Cupra (mk1) has 180bhp, my paperwork says Leon 20V turbo Cupra (but it also says I have 6 seats), and we never had a V6 Leon. There is also the 150bhp diesel Cupra that you couldn't remember and looks the same except for a TDI badge.

The 210/225bhp versions are the Cupra R

But all in all a pointless rant full of incorrect ramblings.

1. No, I'm not drunk and 2. Yes, I'm foreign, so excuse my English (tryin' my best;-)))
So there might be some differencies between UK models and rest of the World?! Coz mine says in paperwork SEAT Leon Cupra 210bhp 154kW (Without "R" anywhere, except for badges behind front wheels... (Which is Cupra badge)
So does Your Cupra have white dials, sport seats, suspension, etc, etc?!
Coz 180bhp Leon is normal 20VT with same engine as vRS Octavia, nothing special, it only says 20VT at the back of the car, doesn't it?! If 20VT it's called in UK (for whatever reason) Cupra, then I'm sorry guys...
But other countries only knows these Cupras: black badge without "R" -210bhp and the red one with "R" -225bhp and yes, there is a 2.8l V6 Leon 4x4 without turbo, which delivers 200bhp
BTW thanks for the diesel one, 150bhp then...



LOL, just wondering, where's the 6th seat then... (Does the badge in the front count?) ((((((

I've just done some (ehm, google) research and only pages talking about 180bhp 'Cupras' are .co.uk, I didn't realise that before, so it may not be Your fault... It's a bit wierd to me...
But anyway accept my apologies for blaming You having wrong informations about Your cars... From now on, I will know there's also 180bhp 20VT which appears (probably by the dealers in the UK) to be Cupra as well... My bad...

dainott2105 still fancy that s..?! I think I had too much
