I believe that the R26 can be remapped to around 260bhp.
Been a test drive in the new
Cupra today. Very nice! Gave me the same feeling as the LCR did three years ago (but more advanced!). It seems to do everything really well - not class leading in any particular field. Just a really good all rounder. A sporting useable hatchback as opposed to the R26 which is just an all out hot hatch. I think the the CTR relies a bit TOO much on novelty value - the looks, the engine, the interior.
Time to decide......
