THE DRACO WHEELS ARE PANTS. No other options can be specified unfortunately.

Agreed - they dont look so good....
I thought it would at least have had side skirts, or other different styling...

Oh dear oh dear. Bucket seats?!?!? Those are standard in every other country except the UK on the FR
suspension & unsprung components on the Cupra are made of lighter materials
The cupra is slightly softer sprung (and better for it) than the FR
The FR TDi is actually probably the most popular model they currently make, but why just cobble together something so important.
They should do a proper sport diesel, not just hash together some parts from other models to make these special editions. I just feel it cheapens the brand.
Though they have done it the other way round this time. consider the Cupra R parts that were liberally splashed across the range of FR in 2005.
I just feel if they want to offer a performance diesel, they should make one. Don't just hash one together from the parts bin.
Nothing about these is really what you can quantify as a special edition. They are not really unique in the true sense of what a special edition should be.
Of course this is just my opinion, just the way I feel about it.

PD170, remapped, with Cupra wishbones, revised suspension, nicer wheels, RS4 seats, boot spoiler, skirts.
that's what they need to do.

The wheels look the same as the std ones that came on the initial TFSI launch car. The optional FR 18" wheels look much better, as do the std. 17" ones IMHO.
Colour is yukky too.

Agree with Mork - if they are going to release a 'special' edition then they need to make it, well special.
They could easily do something that takes some of those ideas plus others that they'd know would be popular and market it at / around the same price as the Cupra.
As a potential FR customer (or above - in diesel guise) this feels a pointless addition to the range - I just wonder if someone over ordered rubbish alloys & or bucket seats and they've cobbled this together.

I think we actually agree - i was thinking the FR550 would be more than it appears to be - i was hoping for a full on Cupra with a diesel under the hood .... as you say, what they've brought out is essentially a mini mayfair / metro knightsbridge
Missed out on a good opportunity to do something properly.brainless toe

Hmmm.. do recall once doing 560miles on one tank over two days with hardish driving.. Ran out of diesel on slip road 2 miles from home

Cupra diesel? Would need at least 200bhp and would need to sort out the DPF first!. Just ordered Cupra K1 for this very reason. Otherwise would have loved the sound of a Cupra D.
Moving way from Seat for a second, heard theres to be a Honda Civic Type D (180bhp)on the way. So carn't see any reason why it wouldn't work for Seat.
