Zboyd drove an ibiza cupra recently maybe he can comment.

The Bocanegra was fairly roarty when you give it some loud pedal but it didn't appear to be as loud as the Cupra R is in the video above.

How it compares to this new Cupra R, no idea really, as how it sounds sat inside the car can often sound very different to what a mic can pick up.

I can say its got a sporty sound, but its not got a big induction noise. Not that I heard anyway in the hour or so I was out in it.

My Cupra sounds pretty good if you leave the boot open above 5000 rpm.

Doesnt the fumes get in with the boot open?

they probably had the back seats folded down. Makes a massive difference

Either a SEAT employee or possibly more likely a dealer based on the remap bit.....

We have supplied 2 Leon FR TFSI's which have been remapped to be used as unmarked cars for Northumbria. Brisa Blue and Zenith so watch out.
