ok well iv had time to come to a conclusion about my opinion of this new Cupra R.
somebody really has to email Seat askin what they're thinking...
the difference between the mk1 cupra and mk1 cupra R were many, twin side mount intercoolers, yes bigger brakes (brembos). bigger turbo,manifold etc etc...
so from the announcement of a mk2 cupra R i would expect something of the similar differences/upgrades.... and we get what boils down to a
badge and a remap...nice
seeing as the Cupra has 240 bhp i would have thought that the R would be rivalling the new focus RS with around 300bhp and some more shiny upgrades...
as good as the standard brakes are on the cupra, (just like the old cupra), from the previous generation it is only logical to upgrade to the brembo 4 pots...
the main thing that i liked was the more menacing styling, the front girll was superb...id have expected similar styling changes.but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
i could go on but iv said enough...il pass on this cupra R and look elsewhere for a next car option.
