[sportbilly]

Front on pic is the only one that shouted 'No' to me, just looks ...different

I always thought the wipers were hidden when off like on the Altea

 

[Mat138L]

i think it need a spoiler on the back to finish it off.

 

[Bonzy1800]

also something a bit lower ie splitter at the front and side skirts and it will look ace

 

[ice maiden]

is that the final model that will be released in the uk?

[Jamin Berry]

yes, i think they will do a face lift model in 2-3 years tho

hmmmmmm it just doesnt look different from the FR really.....i thought it might be more extreme....

 

[Jamin Berry]

Any news on the turbo used? Is it exact same as S3 but at lower boost or is it a baby turbo compared to S3?

 

[225]

I think its the same turbo and its pretty much the same engine as the S3 just de-tuned.
I must admit some more "normal" pics of the car make the balck one look better but as said it really needs to be different from the FR more.
Look forward to reading a more real life review though as its all very well top gear slating it round a track but not really useful.

noticed they have painted the calipers red though unlike the plain FR ones
They should have kept the Brem's.

I think there AP SEATSPORT calipers

 

[m0rk]

The Brakes are single pot 345mm brakes... They don't need to be Brembo/AP though.... they're more than capable to repeated stopping.

The turbo runs quite low boost @ 0.8bar (S3 runs a bit more) - presumed the same though we couldn't get access to the parts we needed

Review is written, formatted & uploaded - just awaiting Z's images
