Annoyingly that same German site says the FR's CO2 will be 180 not 170 as touted by Autocar et al...
Edited to add..
seat.de also says the Leon FR CR TDI 170 DPF (phew what a mouthful) has CO2 of 145, but seat.es says 139 so who knows?!

Newer info says the Leon Cupra FL will carry the same 240BHP engine as the previous one, but with the addition of the XDS system (only natural).
As far as I know you can order from 27th of april, but Martorell start with FR/Cupra from 25th of May. First cars should be in UK at the middle of July in my opinion ....

265bhp? Oh about the same as the current Cupra then
The 240ps version is listed there with the 265ps version though mate. If that is the S3 setup, them 280bhp likely.
There's a test on the Leon FR in this months Evo - had it delivered a couple of days ago - looks good in Orange with Black wheels![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
Those black wheels were off the current Cupra though weren't they, whats the deal with that. Not sure about the front FR badge thought that looked a bit aftermarket! I also noted that they have revised the spring ratings to reduce the jiggly ride.
Looked pretty smart though especially in orange
Yeah the Orion wheels (Cupra pre-facelift) are still kept as an option for the facelifted version.
The spring ratings haven't changed, but the car now sits a bit lower and with softer shock absorbers (I'm guessing now it's closer to the Cupra values).

Not according to Evo "Springs that are 20% softer mean the jarring ride of the old model is now replaced with a more balanced one that makes the car more comfortable yet entertaining" if the car is sitting lower softer springs would allow that. Maybe they have changed the dampers too!
Also gets the XDS electronic Limited slip dif as found on the golf
A few more images have been released today of the Leon Cupra facelift.
Stuck them in the gallery.

Red stitching has been dropped from the interior. Must be saving that for another car 
(still prefer the pre-facelift)

Penny says the 265bhp version listed above will be badged as a Bocenagra possibly with an S3 intercooler, possibly some tasty brakes, different wheels, red stitching (good spot Scott) etc etc. Lets just hope they dont ruin it by adding the Aero kit to it......
Secrecy sucks IMO. Wish they would just tell their potential customers whats coming. I have been looking at Evo X's in the mean time and they are a much nicer place to be
