Title: Had a play with a Ibiza Cupra today - they're quick!
Post by: Stevepd on July 21, 2015, 06:48:28 pm
It came behind me today out of nowhere, he was in a hurry so I tagged along. Hard acceleration (3rd) out of a 30 zone and I could stay with him and I had a bit left and could have passed him, eased off and let him go. Just googled it and it's the current shape 180 ps with a auto box. Very surprised with the car  :congrats:(also impressed at the little thing). Power to weight strikes again. Mines 255bhp/335lbsft.

Yep twincharged 180ps with DSG. They map around 220ish stage 1 depending where you look but its a smaller car eh.

Polo GTI has the same engine as does the Bocagarena (Spelling?!)

New Polo has a 1.8 Turbo TSI Gen3 EA888 engine. The new Ibiza will have the same engine soon.
