Funny they are advertising the R with a photo of a GTi and the plate says GTD
Just read this. Not sure how true this really is regarding the Cupra R.
I agree with what people have been saying about the delay in the car actually being shown it is utterly stupid! For those that have ordered Mk7 Golf R's , S3's, etc has anybody considered the TT-RS & RS3?
With the TTRS starting at over 40K................... Still waiting to see what price the new RS3 starts at, pretty sure that will also be round the 40K mark.
Peeps, for those of us excited about seeing the new Cupra and it seemingly have taken an age, I think SEAT are bringing this to market quicker than it has historically with Cupra models. Normally we'd have FRs for a year at least before the Cupra follows. This time round the FR's came at the same time as the MK3 launched, so we're getting Cupra quicker.

When are they expecting to deliver them from?
Walked into my local seat dealers today to see if they have any other details about this and they didn't even know it was coming out this year lol.
