Does that mean the same size tubby as the GTi/Octy/FR?

I wonder if they'll have a car there, and if they do if the bonnet will be allowed to be open

eagle eyes engine code spotting otherwise.

 

[Ruddmeister]

Get the boot open and whip the carpet up

No mention of brembos...

Lets hope this one can go round corners

OR does it mean that it's a detuned version of the new S3/TT because they don't want to steal Audi's thunder. I hope so.

Indeed.

Was hoping it would be something a little bigger!

The Ibiza Cupra has SEAT Sport AP's Seems to be a Cupra thing, so i would expect SEAT Sport branded calipers of some form.

If the Cupra doesn't turn out to have big red brembo callipers front and back then just what on earth were they testing?.....

Quite often they have 'new' cars behind a carrier of some sorts

normally prototypes though.
