If you go to the Cupra configurator now, you'll see the 290 referenced everywhere.

I'm amazed at how they have managed to up the PS by 10 and yet the CO2 emissions haven't gone up by even a single CO2 per kilometre. Those Volkswagen engineers really are amazing!

What's the CO2 now? For our 14 model 280 manual 5 door it was 154, then on later models it was 156. ( I cant get on site atm)

From what has been posted on this forum, the original 280PS Cupra tests out at nearer 300PS on a rolling road.

Perhaps the addition of an extra 10PS is just a marketing ploy rather than an actual upgrade. Maybe soon they will upgrade it to a 300R, again without changing anything.
