Filmed 3 videos from 1 day at vrs which is why ive been able to upload so much, plus having ipowdedmedia help with editing is just a dream right now. This is just a taster of how the channel will be operating in the near future, as always like share and subscribe and ill see you soon 👌🏾👌🏾
I am absolutely speechless 😶 my car feels so fast with just stage 1 I can't begin to imagine what this feels like, ricks face was worth a thousand words 😂 honest opinion ricks how do you think a F80 would do around them roads against it..?????????? 👀
Before VAG came out with this platform Cupras were already wickedly fast - and my food has been eaten more than a few times by the axe-murderers who drive them hunting for innocent blood on them twisty backroads. To see what VRS Performance have done with that Cupra is incredible. Worse yet - the very thought of Cupras out there in the wild with north of 550BHP gives me the chills...
How does it feel compared to the big power, larger engine cars you have been in such as the tuned M5's or even your Tuned F80 once rolling? Whilst these smaller engines are incredible, I always find the larger engines pull harder from big speeds which is probably due to gearing and more torque...
Im glad he mentioned the 335d x drive , those along with the 435d x drive once mapped are so capable , probably some of the most impressive cars on the road at the moment with duel personalities , remapped 435d x drive grand touring would probably be my pick
Gen3 2.0 tsi is an incredible engine. Of course you need a good tune and the right hardware to have a reliable result, as well as a strict maintenance plan.
3 years late, but how did you guys go about making it AWD? just used a donor Golf R haldex system? I'm interested as I have a cupra 290 DSG with plans for racingline ECU tune to 365BHP. I would love AWD without having to change car if its cheaper/same cost.
I only have the 150bhp 1.4 tsi turbo DSG Leon and it is also pretty effortless on acceleration for such a small engine (well up to about 80 mph anyway) I've had many boy racers disappear pretty easily in the mirror when you give the accelerator a prod, I think the light weight and DSG combined with the great torque really helps these cars. I would say to anyone with similar engines Skoda/Seat/VW/Audi tsi's with turbo charger "try some Esso premium plus" it REALLY DOES make these cars run well, in fact it's the best fuel I've tried so far in my Seat.
Only problem I have with this is It has the golf r engine He’s converted it to 4WD It’s basically a golf r with a cupra shell It’s took the cupra element away from the car what separates it from the golf r and S3, it’s FWD system
"Double the power in 24 hour" haha that was good, kinda a metaphor for German cars generally nowadays....makes going fast maybe even a bit too easy? Quality either way.
The guy in the video said that you'd have to work hard in an Evo because it doesn't have a DSG gearbox,but that's wrong as the Mitsubishi Evo X SST does come with a twin clutch gearbox !
These cars are awesome unfortunately when I’m old enough they are gonna be bangers though ... Hopefully seat still bring out hatches like these! Great video.
Ellie Green no I think they are slightly different although the same ltr etc - when I say 335d on windy road and 640d 0-60 I’m just making reference to the curb weight difference - don’t think they do a 6 in x drive either
Knocking it out of the park Ricky 👍 this car is a real hell raiser! I wish Bmw would bring more xdrive models to the uk. Europe is getting an xdrive M140i but it’s not coming here. Come on BMW, wake up!
Hello, I want to make a swap from Haldex to Cupra 290. Can I use the 6-speed DSG box that comes from the factory? And is the transfer case necessary and is it compatible with the cupra dq250?
Good video dread, I’ve got the same cupra 280 stock gray white colour buckets seats, I’ve had it a week and love it, on the move it’s quicker than a golf R, feels lighter more playful.
VW was suggesting the Mk7 R would stick with the same 280Nm torque (or lbft) because this was the safe limit on the DSG box.......were they wrong or is it all down to improved DSG software maps ? How well are these boxes lasting when pushing twice as much torque through them?
Amazing car, and I love how they’ve made it AWD like the golf R. Sadly I don’t think (from what I can see on the video) that it is exciting as the JB4 M140i/M240i or even the crazy Pure Turbo M135i previously owned by Author. I guess maybe because it’s a 4 banger. Please don’t hate on my opinion but I think it’s an amazing car, the styling is awesome - those OZ wheels are to die for! There’s just something missing for me and it’s that 6 Cylinder snarl!!
I think VRS have already swapped out the 4pot gen 3 ea888 for the 5pot audi engine in one of these for higher hp gains and a great sound also, I think its all because bm's are rwd that gives you more drama plus the straight 6 turbo

LivingLifeFast hes a driver.... first time ive seen you shook lol... quality video as normal
your channel is growing, youre going to be very big soon
LivingLifeFast I have a 431bhp DMS AUTOMOTIVE BMW- M135i if your interested in doing a episode on it in the future Ricky 👍
I could see you loved that drive!!Great video as usual
I am absolutely speechless 😶 my car feels so fast with just stage 1 I can't begin to imagine what this feels like, ricks face was worth a thousand words 😂 honest opinion ricks how do you think a F80 would do around them roads against it..?????????? 👀
AWD and DSG is definitely a winning combination 😳
Excellent as usual Ricky, the fact that you are such a genuine bloke makes these some of the best car videos out there.
roger manvell Thanks mate
I can’t believe there’s people out there that watch these quality videos and not hit the subscribe button. How are you not on at least 50k subs yet
Mustaq Tahmid WORD.
Soon come .
Its criminal
i never do but your right ! just pressed the button
thx for reminding mate

Giggling like a school child 😂👌🏿 VRS is a must visit for any VAG owner after what I've seen
Who needs a Lambo. I'd rather have something similar to this, and still have enough left over for a house.
How does it feel compared to the big power, larger engine cars you have been in such as the tuned M5's or even your Tuned F80 once rolling? Whilst these smaller engines are incredible, I always find the larger engines pull harder from big speeds which is probably due to gearing and more torque...
I’ve just been astonished by this Cupra! Very nice video and very nice work from VRS!
Im glad he mentioned the 335d x drive , those along with the 435d x drive once mapped are so capable , probably some of the most impressive cars on the road at the moment with duel personalities , remapped 435d x drive grand touring would probably be my pick
i'd be so torn between getting one of them or a mk7 R . I love VW but them 335d's with a map are animals
Would have to be a 335i or 340i for me tho...needs to a petrol for the sooooound
Tank Roberts just the fuel costs in the UK are scandalous
Gen3 2.0 tsi is an incredible engine. Of course you need a good tune and the right hardware to have a reliable result, as well as a strict maintenance plan.
He's like a UK Vin diesel lol
Xtiminator lol
I dont think so vin diesel more likewheres wally lol
That's one of the best daily drivers out there, super stable and quick!
Always tell a car is fast, as the passenger goes from silent to nervous laughing hahaha!
Need to trade the Fr for the Cupra..
you're the next big thing on youtube bro keep it up
3 years late, but how did you guys go about making it AWD? just used a donor Golf R haldex system? I'm interested as I have a cupra 290 DSG with plans for racingline ECU tune to 365BHP.
I would love AWD without having to change car if its cheaper/same cost.
CUPRA powerrrrrrrrr. thanks for the video bro.
Bless up Ricky uni did look frightened 😱😱
I have Skoda Superb 2.0 TSI 280 4x4 with exactly the same engine and I can just say that this engine is soooo goood and so refined
Another solid video Ricky. Every aspect of production as well as content. Keep it up bro! Love.
Killing it with the uploads recently, Ricky!👌🏻💯...Keep them coming, man!🙌🏻
OX4SNYPA Thank you bro
First time I’ve seen Ricky scared- brilliant thing to see 👀😂
Scott Williams Shook
Ricky was "SHOOK!"....🤣🤣🤣
Great video Brother!
How can someone dislike this video 😂 LLF is gonna blow up, content is mad 🤑👌🏼
Brandon Rana-McCarthy love my g
Great video. The chap at VRS was sound. You could tell he knows his stuff.
Man is on fire with the content!! Non stop Ricky bro love the hustle keep on bringing the bangers. Liked before it even loaded
BlankStudioTV 👊🏾👊🏾
Such an underrated channel! Amazing content keep it up!!
Liam Wooding this is one of the best channels out their man
Liam Wooding Thank you guys
Best video yet for me. Cupra was flying!
You looked scared 😂
Makes me feel proud to be a seat leon fr tdi owner lols
Cant believe its on the same gearbox and clutch
mate! the uploads have been 10/10
UnchainedSociety 👍🏾👍🏾
10:42 when he puts the real power down. It's scary to watch from here.
I only have the 150bhp 1.4 tsi turbo DSG Leon and it is also pretty effortless on acceleration for such a small engine (well up to about 80 mph anyway) I've had many boy racers disappear pretty easily in the mirror when you give the accelerator a prod, I think the light weight and DSG combined with the great torque really helps these cars.

Love the cupra!! Wish they sold them in australia! Rocket ship that one lol
Nice video tho! 👍🏼
I wish I lived in Europe, because I would be at vrs performance tomorrow morning.
woodman N55B5 👍🏾👍🏾
It's all about the smiles!!!
I could talk to this driver all day he knows some proper shit
So it's a Spanish brand car, engineered by Germans and tuned by Brits?
What Can you guys do to my fathers Seat Ibiza 1.9 TDI 90hp?😆😆
No hablo ingles*
Tienes razon jajaja vaya mezcla pero también los hay en australia indonesia México o rusia
pd130 injectors pd130 turbo and a map should see an easy 170bhp
Darkside development do some mad tuning on diesel engines. I'm sure they said the 1.9 PD engine are highly tunable but it all comes down to cooling
Yep, basically the EU on wheels :D
@@Utnh6969 well the vw 1.9tdi goes up to 500hp
Only problem I have with this is
It has the golf r engine
He’s converted it to 4WD
It’s basically a golf r with a cupra shell
It’s took the cupra element away from the car what separates it from the golf r and S3, it’s FWD system
CupraBoss let's be honest it makes it superior
CupraBoss it's a one off which makes it more special than the others
It's now a wolf in sheep's clothing kind of analogy
I thought they both shared the same engine he just added awd of the golf I could be wrong.
But it looks like a Seat, which is good.
That’s it... subscribed! Love these vids man. Your face when the power goes down 😂 love it
kingmoty 😁👊🏾
"Double the power in 24 hour" haha that was good, kinda a metaphor for German cars generally nowadays....makes going fast maybe even a bit too easy? Quality either way.
You know it's a fast car when Ricky puts his hand to his face.
You should put more clips of slo motion scrolling round the car, featuring the performance parts with a bumping sound track.
The guy in the video said that you'd have to work hard in an Evo because it doesn't have a DSG gearbox,but that's wrong as the Mitsubishi Evo X SST does come with a twin clutch gearbox !
uptheduffagain lol
As fast as this car is, there's no excitement, no drama and no sound. All the things you want from 560bhp, dsg and 4 wheel drive.
A spec list of the cars would be awesome!
That´s what i´m missing a little in those videos. Once VRS presents a car anyone would like to have some specs of the modifications!
When I get my cupra or octavia vrs I would definitely be visiting vrs for my my work. Watch this video till the end.
Word from Ricky's mouth of every video...WOW.
This is one of your best videos
Love your channel LLF, keep it up.
Ryan Dallat 👊🏾👍🏾
top video .. I cant believe how quick that cupra is !!! I think that would slay my Rs6 performance all day :(
These golf r chassis cars are incredible ...
CA Cars Yes and the engines even more so.
RobberHD definitely going for this base of car next
These cars are awesome unfortunately when I’m old enough they are gonna be bangers though ... Hopefully seat still bring out hatches like these! Great video.
I hope it has an uprated tank. I have an FR running at 190, and the 50 litre take is far to small. Looks a hoot though.
every video just keeps getting better
You know what he’s totally right - a 335d x drive with a map would go down that lane with that car - a 640d with a map might even beat it to 60
Ellie Green no I think they are slightly different although the same ltr etc - when I say 335d on windy road and 640d 0-60 I’m just making reference to the curb weight difference - don’t think they do a 6 in x drive either
thats mental! definitely something different, would love to see you drive this..!
Rikkys face on those back lanes hahah. When you realise your actually scared and it makes ya laugh
my mouth was open the entire time, that seat is ridiculous !!
Great video, thank you for sharing and brilliant built car love it!
That's why cars like this and golf r are brilliant mad when you want or go shopping at 30 👍
Daaamn Ricky back it again with the ultimate sleepers cars, thanks a lot ^_^
Medamine Majid 👍🏾👍🏾
Knocking it out of the park Ricky 👍 this car is a real hell raiser! I wish Bmw would bring more xdrive models to the uk. Europe is getting an xdrive M140i but it’s not coming here. Come on BMW, wake up!
Hello, I want to make a swap from Haldex to Cupra 290. Can I use the 6-speed DSG box that comes from the factory? And is the transfer case necessary and is it compatible with the cupra dq250?
Who would dislike this sick video, oh yeah a hater 😏 😂😂😂
No, dude, just someone who is different to you - ya narrow minded dweeb.
😂😂😂
Production is wicked
My 95’ firebird has OZ Racing wheels too. The ones I have were discontinued in the 90’s tho.
Which Leon Cupras come with AWD? I wanna buy one. Did they make a 3 door awd 300hp version in manual?
9;21 I nearly felt that through the screen
Great video Ricky, shame you don't get to test drive the car yourself to provide your feedback. Thanks again!!!
Louis Ip Customers car and was literally last second video
So the 4wd setup in this car amazing. just wondering did they get a donor golf r engine and diffs to do this job. Im interested ?
Really good video mate well done
Another great vid bro, loving the fast uploads 😁
01dimster Thanks
Your face at 5.00 is priceless 🤩😎🤪
Wills a maniac!! LOL
Flipping eck i havnt seen ricky that giddy since arthurs 135i drive 😂😂😂
Class Ricky, really making me laugh looks as if you were shifting yourself.
Seems a good car alround
Looks fast..love the stance.
When Ricky says yo shits just got real :)x
Will be getting in touch with VRS when I purchase a Cupra to get some work done. Not to this extent though
Lol mans face when the guy said effortless at 3:40
Mad content once again Ricky! That car man 😂😂🙈🙈🙈! And your reactions 😂😂😂😂
0-100 , 100-200 time? Top speed? I have a Cupra and I like to know. I want to know if that AWD make a difference. Thank you guys! Nice project!
LLF repping Northampton nice. Cupra 4wd should be standard
Must be fast. Ricky looked shook lool
Mike Taylor SHOOK
How much torque was it running?? Wasn’t mentioned in the vid? Ricky? 👍
haha loved the comment on the 335d xdrive + map, but i'm bias. Great video
Awesome car made better are the front cuprs seats stock?
upping your game with the uploads recently Ricky
Good video dread, I’ve got the same cupra 280 stock gray white colour buckets seats, I’ve had it a week and love it, on the move it’s quicker than a golf R, feels lighter more playful.
kimkimkim8 true drivers car the cupra always rated them
Nice car and plate to match!
Good stuff uncle Ricky.
speechless
Mate I love your videos finding these hidden gems of cars I much prefer watching videos on modded cars than these supercar videos on RUclips 👌🏻👌🏻
LyallGeee 👊🏾🤘🏾
Yess Ricky you listened to me, great video
Does it still have the front Cupra 280 LSD or was the standard cupra box swapped out to convert to 4WD?
VW was suggesting the Mk7 R would stick with the same 280Nm torque (or lbft) because this was the safe limit on the DSG box.......were they wrong or is it all down to improved DSG software maps ? How well are these boxes lasting when pushing twice as much torque through them?
Golf r is way over 280 nm standard anyway mate
What a machine.
Amazing car, and I love how they’ve made it AWD like the golf R. Sadly I don’t think (from what I can see on the video) that it is exciting as the JB4 M140i/M240i or even the crazy Pure Turbo M135i previously owned by Author. I guess maybe because it’s a 4 banger.

Great vid and car. Will destroy the M3 on those tight twisties :)
