If the Cupra R can put out 280 reliably there must be some fair margin left for the mechanicals.
I understood that factory power spec is a median for all markets,hot/cold etc and the UK must sit right in the middle of the global picture with the added luxury of quality fuels/oils servicing etc.Is this correct?

The cupra (R will be out with the facelift no doubt) is on a bigger turbo though so it will cope with more.

Cupra has a de tuned S3/R engine rather than the GTI unit

Interesting that like the tuning box equipped cars it doesn't show meaningful improvements until over 3000rpm which may explain why such big figures are being produced. More top end.
I've noticed that my mk7 GTI, unlike the mk4/5/6 does its thing further up the rev range despite the manufacturer's published torque figures showing peak at very low rpms.
‘25 8.5R, ‘23 8R, ‘20 8CS, ‘19 135iX, ‘19 TCR, ‘17 Ed40, ‘17 GTD, ‘15 7R, ‘13 GTI PP, ‘11 GTI, ‘09 GTI, ‘98 Ibiza Cupra, ‘05 GTI, ‘06 Polo GTI, ‘04 GT TDI, ‘05 Fabia vRS, ‘02 GTI T, ‘03 Ibiza TDI 130, ‘01 Leon 180, ‘89 mk2 16v, ‘99 Ibiza TDI, ‘96 VR6, ‘98 Ibiza TDI, ‘92 VR6, ‘88 mk2 8v, ‘92 Polo G40, ‘91 mk2 8v, ‘89 mk2 8v, 205 GTI 1.9, ‘83 mk1 GTI, ‘80 Scirocco GTI, plus some others I’ve forgotten

I know that APR have had to limit the power quite heavily in 1st and 2nd to prevent the sheer amount of torque from ripping the clutch apart.
Current - MK7 Golf GTI - Tornado Red, 5 Door, DSG, Performance Pack, Dynamic Chasis Control, Panoramic Sunroof, Discover Navigation, Dynaudio.

On Order - MK7 Golf R - Pearlescent Black, 3 Door, DSG, Vienna Leather, Discover Nav Pro, Rear View Camera, High Beam Assist, Keyless Entry, Dynaudio (Tech Pack)

All gone.

Now;

MK7 Golf R - Lapiz Blue, 5 Door, DSG, Carbon Nappa, Discover Nav Pro.

Interesting as it's 5th and 6th pulls which generally are the clutch killers
