MK2 Leon Cupra R - SCN Week Long Road Test

[KiwiCupraR2010]

My track test of the LCR

yeah I saw it already, but I didn't know it was the UK version. (nice video btw.)
But what I would like to see is something like some rev's to hear and compare the sound to the Euro Version, if you're interested I could upload it on youtube.

if you're interested I could upload it on youtube.

Go for it

 

[KiwiCupraR2010]

Sure,
here are already two-
first one was recorded with a digital camera, that's also the reason why the sound isn't brilliant..
therefor I will do another one tomorrow with the GoPro Camera,which recorded also the second vid, with better sound quality.

Sounds nice

 

[KiwiCupraR2010]

thanks, but I'll do another one tomorrow.

The Cupra looks more aggressive and better looking than the Cupra R in that picture in my opinion!

Isn't that just the fact that the silver shows the lines better. If they were both silver there'd be little to choose between the two

 

[Al]

Not really - the lines of the pre facelift front bumper appears deeper as do the plastic grille inserts but I would agree that the silver shows them better too. The rear of the Cupra R wins over the Cupra though

 

[jezyg]

The pre FL does look more aggressive but also taller and not as low down on the road as the R looks wider and lower, but agree the silver brings out the lines better than the matt black especially in a B&W pic!!

very nice write up so far and loving the pics... when i first read the bit about the car being wrapped matte black i thought "oh here we go" but i must admit, it looks superb.

Looking forward to the pics and video from the Stevie Steve session...

For those thinking about matte wraps... there are specific products for washing and waxing wraps but they arent cheap and the wrap takes more looking after than you would think

 

[alnsaz]

Really looking forward to your write up - seriously considering the Cupra R as my next car come the new year

 

[Syphon]

Steve's finished work on the pics and vids so hopefully I'll get something up later tonight.

Unfortunately SEAT are switching car pickup firm tomorrow so I'm going to have to live with the car a bit longer (until next Wednesday). It's going to be a bit of a hardship to be honest.

Right guys and gals. Prepare for picture mother load. Credit for the pics go to Stevie Steve who I might ask to take some of mine in action at some point. Top job Steve - (vids to follow)

More to come...

Throaty from inside the car. The engine cover must have been sorted to enhance the sound over the pre FL just as the engine cover on the FL Cupra has been.

Yup - the sound is really addictive
