MK2 Leon Cupra R - 265 bhp confirmed

[vicalva]

But surely if a standard Cupra already has 250 - 260 bhp the Cupra with Cupra R would be pointless.

It should have 300 bhp to take on the likes of the Focus RS and have a proper LSD and or the Haldex System which I don't thing VW/Audi would allow.

Also how could they better the styling over a standard Cupra or Aero kit? It should have a Carbon front end with Carbon rear splitter and dual oval tailpipes....

should definitely come with the same electronic LSD as in the next Scirocco R, makes sense as same specs and both FWD

Not sure I like the R logo on the grille. Looks a bit misplaced. Would have probably been better on the bumper where the Cupra logo is (instead of the cupra badge which I don't really like on the front).

After all the malarky created when the old Cupra R was dropped, I find it a bit strange that this has surfaced. If it does, it proves how many of the urban myths are utter b0lex.
