Leon Cupra competition

@cupra owner not it isn´t faster...
thats normal north of 160km/h the airdrag is the biggest force working against the acceleration and it increase in sqare ... the 20hp more powerfull 3MPS is only 2s quicker..
The Cupra R isn´t very aerodynamic with it´s Minivan styled body which result in a very bad airindex (airdrag x frontal surface area)
If you have a test were they tested the Leon Cupra R signigicant faster post a scan..or online source
