Would be nice to see a 1.6 cupra spec car released.
Do they need to?
FIA S2000 regs already have a 1.6T in the WTCC cars, which transfers to the WRC if required.

I doubt anyone's busting a gut to use an Ibiza in any kind of motorsport (except the Ibiza one make championship!) - I'm struggling to find the R4 regulations that this might fit into though. Either way it'd be whooped by Evo's and Subaru's in the same class.
I'd hope they just make the 1.4TSi reliable, and focus on getting that right. The Leon III needs the 1.6T, so I doubt very much it'll be in the Ibiza (thus over shadowing the Leon range)
