Cupra BHP ?

[lasbazrre]

Hiya i'm new on here , ive read 2 threads/post that state there Std BHP/PS for the new Cupra is 257 and 262 ?

I thought they came with 237ps , is the 237 not true or have people done some mods to get the car to 257/262?

Thanks

Seat claim 237bhp (240ps), standard cars on the rolling road are - like you say - getting 257-262bhp. People are assuming that Audi won't let them advertise it as 260ps because it would be the same as the S3.

Standard cars tested on various rolling roads round the country, have so far indicated that they produce between 255-265bhp. They tend to be less bhp for the first 600-800miles.

Mine was run on Awesomes RR, 1 week after i got it, with nearly 300miles on the clock. It had a tank of supermarket special the dealer had put in it. It produced pretty much bang on 240bhp.

I went back just over a month later, with just over a 1000miles on it, with the car only being fed Shell Vpower. It then did around 260bhp. Same rollers, same settings pretty much same conditions, and from experience i know Awesome have good repeat results, never much more than -+ 5bhp either way.

The car did get quicker and more free revving once it had done over 800 miles, we think something is built into the code to make them run a bit rich for the first few hundred miles to help them run in and coke up.

just had mine on the rolling road last night. mine standard is reading 237 bhp. the car was also running on ordinary unleaded petrol too. will see if i can get a graph posted up.

Mine was 257bhp and 242ft-lbs when it was first rolling roaded with no mods other than a magic tree

Do you guys find that this onyl seems to apply to the cupra, or do the diesels seem to put out more power on the RR then stated by SEAT?

I dont know for sure about the bhp but my FR did a 0-60 sprint on a closed road that i was working on in about 7.4 secs. I'm sure it could've done it alot faster too. It was measured on my sat nav so know it was very accurate.

The one we dyno'd the other day made 233hp stock and 298 tuned
