cupra r v cupra fr 2005

whats the difference between a cupra r and a cupra fr 1.8t

[Tony_Essex]

The key differences are:

fr
180 bhp engine KK03s turbo.
fairly average suspension, that cannot handle corners softer springs and not enough damping.
OK brakes

Cupra
225bhp engine - kk04 turbo lower compression ratio
Much better suspension,
Amazing brakes!

To be honest the FR is fun, but can really be scarey with the suspension. You can really abuse the Cupra R around the corners and it doesn't bite as much.

Then there are all the cosmetic differences.
