Cupra is circa 150 BHP, Cupra R is circa 180 BHP
Cupra R has Bigger Front Brakes...

It is safe to say the ICR's are fairly Rare. Money better spent on a normal Cupra and then fettling with it, eg. Remap Zoorst & Induction.

Cupra R ibiza runs 180 bhp and Cupra ibiza runs 159 bhp is the main difference, not a prolem tho as once Cupra has been remapped by revo gain will be around 45 bhp with right add ons ie forge recirc dumpvalve green cotton or k & N induction kits!Which will then push it too just over 200 bhp!

The cupra R has brembo brakes as standard i believe and interior is slightly different ie different seats & badges in car and thats about it!Its easier to get hold of normal cupra as theres not too many cupra Rs around and the ones which are for sale are generally quite a bit more in price compard to cupra!

the choice to make:

do you want something that is fast and Ltd edition or something that can be made as fast or even faster and cheaper to buy but isnt as rare/Ltd edition.
