Looks like a road-going touring car. I like the bodykit, but the colour doesn't look good on this car.

Atleast dont copy paste everything just change the color

Actually there is no need for the Cupra 'to become an rs'. The Cupra has an independent rear suspension too and furthermore it can be fitted with the DSG dual clutch automatic gearbox; what about the rs' equivalent technologies? Concerning the road performance issue, this car is mainly the same with the Leon racing car that won the last year's WTCC championship for both drivers' as well for manufacturers' categories over other competitors like the BMW 3 series, thus no need to prove anything. After all the Focus' design is at least boring I could say, while the Cupra has got an excellent look still influencing newcomers in the segment like the upcoming Vauxhall/Opel Astra. It should be the rs that should want to be a Cupra!

It has 285hp, is front wheel drive, and is an "untameable racing machine"...
Is that JEs way of telling us that this thing will torque-steer your ass into the nearest ditch?

Real hot hatch! Just like JosephNetter stated above, the Cupra is quite relevant - if not the same - to the 280 bhp Leon WTCC winning car. The fact that it is front wheel drive didn't seem to be a handicap in winning the race for the 2008 WTCC championship.
Now that the Cupra is equipped with ABS, traction control, ESP, XDS (something like an electronic limited slip differential), it is impeccable!

@botaki You are funny, mostly cos you are that much obsessed with the RScrap, you cannot see anything else than Fords out there in the roads! Let me tell you what is focus RScrap: the most useless and the ugliest looking hatchbacks and yeah, people are aware of that!
Well since it just might be only you the one who doesn't know that the Cupra Mk2 is not a 'new player' at all in the segment, let me remind you of the Leon Cupra Mk1 since 2000! I shall not 'leave alone' the RScrap just because you want it (after all it is you the one who comments on cars other than the RScrap). So what is the whole fuss you 're making about the RScrap? WHat are the wins of the RScrap when compared the Cupra? The Cupra has been racing in the World Tourism championship against BMWs and ARs and you know what, has won both 2008 drivers' as well as manufacturers' titles. Which cars have been the competitors of the RScrap racing cars? C4s and Fabias... And how about the high-tech novelties of the RScrap? You are talking of the independent rear suspension of the RScrap, well the Cupra has that too; but more over that, the Leon Cupra has a rigid platform combined with the TSI engines and the DSG gearboxes. Hmmm, what about the RScrap? Nothing! At least nothing more than its horrible appearance. Now may you have a nice day! ;D
PS: Since when the worldcarfans.com has been censoring selectively its users? You deleted my last post, but in the same time you didn't find offensive the use of words like 'crap' in the pevious posts. Nice.

Bah, I seriously doubt whether you are going to see me. Your writing gives a good proof of who 's on crack! Hahahaa.. Keep dreaming and wishing! As for the Cupra it is your ignorance or something else than makes you believe that the Cupra mk2 has not been in production since 2005? And what kind of bad taste could someone have to like the hideous Focus and dislike the Cupra calling it ugly, knowing that the Cupra's attractive design has been the pattern for the new Astra; there is though the case that Vauxhall has changed its target group over people who like ugly cars. At least the Focus hasn't been copied by no other, why 's that? Don't ask for yourself, you can go back to your very beloved focus and dream of it as the best looking hatch, it might work...
