SEAT Ibiza Cupra Spotted on the Ring
The all new fourth generation SEAT Ibiza was revealed last month at the Madrid Motor Show with the three-door Ibiza sport-coupe version following a week later. SEAT officials have already acknowledged the sporty FR and Cupra models are on the way and undisputed Nürburgring Nordschleife enthusiast site, BridgeToGantry.com, have taken some images of the sport coupe wearing a twin-tip exhaust pipe and a cute roof wing. It is speculated that the petrol engined Cupra will receive VW's 170hp 1.6-liter TSI engine producing 180 to 200hp. The Sport Coupe makes its public debut next month in London while the FR and Cupra models are expected to debut either at Paris this October or Geneva in 2009.

Spoiler = ruins the style. Need to be more subtle. But I am liking those two exhaust tips... Cupra anyone?

Wat da hell is this doing on the ring, i swear it has now become a fad to test on the ring, what's next testing nikes on a lap around the ring?

The ring is one of the best places to test a test car on for its stability, handling, brakes, and other important stuff.

Sorry, but what kind of "1.6" Tsi engine should that be? There is no 1.6 TSI! As far as i know the Ibiza will get a version of the 1.4 TSi engine we already knwow from VW. Maybe the 170HP version with compressor+turbo, but hopefully also a version with just one turbo and 122HP.

You might want to check your sources WCF.

love my seats, but now touching the big 40 with a child(7)and a anoher on the way. i've had my fr's and cupra's and i like the look of this albeit a chopped leon. what i'm lookling for is a 5 door 1.4 tsi 140 or even better a new diesel like fiats 1.6 120. the old 1.9 105 is utter crap. ideal would be 150 bhp diesel.
