I think it's wishful thinking TBH! Unless they fit an AWD! But even then it's all gone be too much money and will be stepping of others toes!
yeah - because the Focus RS didn't get it ripped out of it by the journo's because they felt it torque steered them off the road.
Has to be granny friendly.

how does the haldex system work? thats electronic isn't it?
could you apply the same principle but on FWD to adjust power between the two wheels?
obviously I'm not suggesting its a viable option as they'ld have to develop its and produce etc etc, just wondering if it would actually work

I've got the feeling SEAT will upgrade to 260 bhp at some point. Vauhhall will have the Astra VXR souped up to 300 bhp, won't they? The rumoured price tag seems a bit steep nevertheless (I read £24k somewhere). So let's hope SEAT will have an answer to that. On the other hand, VW-Audi will want to preserve the hierarchy between Audi and SEAT, won't they? So maybe the only way to see 260 bhp on the Cupra is if Audi also increase the power on the Audi S3 after a while?
SEAT did modify the power of the first LCR by 15 bhp. So 20 bhp more in the new Cupracer is not gonna break the front axel, or is it?...
How many bhp does the WTCC version have anyway?
At first, I was hoping that they'd have the Cupra upgraded to 4wd in the future. But actually, I don't think I need 4wd, what for? I never floor it on a wet road, so what's the point? It might feel safer, but when it rains, I become a grand dad at the wheel, don't trust wet roads

4WD is not that great, only when it snows. I have just sold an Audi A4 quattro and I wish I had kept my Leon Cupra, all I did was pay for the name. The car was lifeless poor spec and not worth the money I paid for it. I had a big thing when I bought it had to be 4WD but overall it spoilt the drive,to calm and sensible,just my opinion.
Unfortunately I have a long wait till January before I can get my hands on the new CUPRA....get to see it Saturday at the motorshow.

AWD is pointless if you haven't got the power to move it's haevy ass around! Above 300bhp its a nice thing to have!
Should of said the 3 MPS isn't 4WD it's front wheel driver with a few tricks (diff and ECU management)
I would severely like a ATB diff for my leon but the aftermarket costs are very high. It would be great to get it on the car already and therefore have a better base for big power (or even just being able to use it in corners)

YerMother said:The diif only costs £450 it's the labour to fit the thing that stings you!
Yup that's why it'd be nice to have something to cope with the power as standard
