I think your all going to be a little disapointed... from all the spy shots and pics I've found it aint going to be anything special looking! real shame 
might have a stonkin engine but needs the looks too!!
might have a stonkin engine but needs the looks too!!I agree. It's got to be different from the FR, even if the FR is already a stunner. Otherwise, who's going to pay 3 grand for bigger wheels, 40 bhp extra and Brembos??The Cupra Kid said:I think your all going to be a little disapointed... from all the spy shots and pics I've found it aint going to be anything special looking! real shame

Isn't that what you did with the LCR?
More or less!not quite, as the body kit in the Cupra R was different than the Cupra. The LCR also had better suspension (less body roll) and I got Recaro seats.m0rk said:
Today, I would chose the Cupra over the FR if it looks even more aggresive, is 4wd, offers DSG, has a different central console and better seats. Little Cupra signs in the cabin would be a plus, or anything else that could set it apart.
From the Auto Express article: "The deep rear bumper also hints that the car’s aggressive bodykit is derived from SEAT’s World Touring Car racers. That means at the front you can expect a low splitter and mesh grille … Cupra-badged sports seats, white-backed dials and carbon-effect trim for the gearlever and centre console … A six-speed manual gearbox will be standard, while the paddleshift DSG semi-automatic is optional … SEAT has been busy tuning the Cupra’s suspension over the past year on various mule cars to ensure its range-topper offers a thrilling drive."El Vic said:
If Auto Express have got it right, apart from the 4wd, it sounds exactly what you are looking for.

I hope they're right. I can't wait to see it next Thursday. If it ticks all the boxes, I'm so getting one ASAP in Spain. I've heard orders can be taken in August (LHD). I've seen in the list of options for the FR in Spain, that you can chose to have it RHD! Maybe it'll be the same for the Cupra, which means you could get a UK-Spec import sooner than next year!

Side exit in the same place as the FR I think. The Concept Leon II had a centre pipe, but looked weird...
Definately pimp rims are on the cards, std 18's with 19's as an option I guess.
Not long to go until we know - I'll literally be 'on the stand' at 8am camping for the 10.35 announcement. wifi willing you'll have images within an hour
