Seeing they are making a Mii FR it must give us hope for a Citigo vRS?

Doubtful, FR is just a trim nowadays available with any engine etc. :( gone is the actual meaning of 'formula racing' lol. Just means fancy red bits now lol. At least vrs still has performance bits. Can always hope

"The one-off Mii is more an FR trim level than an FR performance model, as the changes are purely cosmetic, the concept using the same engine and chassis settings as the standard Mii." Not yet, sorry...

OK I was about to quote the exact opening line as per the 2nd reply, and then state the 1st reply.

So err yeah nothing to add here.

Only that the "FR" trim doesnt come in any engine, but more "insurance friendly engines for younger drives wanting that sporty feeling" or some BS when I asked at a SEAT PR gig a year or so ago.

It's interesting to see them toying with the idea of a sporty looking Mii, combine that with the turbo Up! means there is hope!

The Citigo is evolving beyond its intended purpose, if they have a market for a vRS they will make one. It's all about the bottom dollar not "Fabia" and " Octavia" ethics!

...one other thing, I did read the article fully and understood what it said! Hence why I said "hope" rather than saying "they are absolutely making a vRS!"

It's pathetic they will put FR on anything. It's not exactly sporty/fast.

[T. Spark]

Well if it said "Mii Cupra" then that would hold a little more hope.

Alais it doesnt.

FR Line gives it away.

Like Audi with S-Line.

All the trim of the S3/S4 - but with a boggo engine.

Citigo Sport is confirmed for production, but also only cosmetic changes. Looks nice tho, I'd consider one if it met my space requirements: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/251379-citigo-sport-from-february-2013/

I have an old leon fr tdi. When the fr was sporty(ish) to an extent!

Its a shame an fr now is basically tack styling for 17 year old's
