The engine is the latest EA888 version with an IHI turbo which has been reworked from the GTI version for cars like the Golf R, S3 and Leon Cupra. So I expect it will just be (as before) a detuned S3/7R engine - maybe with some minor mechanical difference if any at all.
Nice to see they have put DSG on the list now and things look promising for a AWD Cupra R with 300bhp now - which is odd as it would match the Golf R which normally they tend to be a step behind - time will tell.
I don't see the point of the 265 version - same engine, same co2 so why bother ..
Money's on its the same Mechanical diff which the GTI performance pack gives you - why would it be any different.
I'll wait another year and upgrade to the 7R most likely
Ed40 I'd put money on having 240bhp but maybe the Performance pack as standard ...
