Difference Between 182 and 182 Cup

[Maggiore]

Guys,

I got my 182 a few weeks ago, I was just watching the Top Gear review on Youtube and wondered what the difference really is between the Cup and the standard 182.

Is there any performance difference?

I always thought mine was a standard 182, but Confused.com has it down as the Cup, I dont believe this to be true, but im just curious as to what the difference is.

Here are some pics of mine for anyone who is interested :rasp:

Im not sure if there is any way to tell if it is a Cup or not really...

Thanks

Yours is a standard 182, WITHOUT cup packs.

The 182 Cup, has a better chassis/suspension setup, grey wheels, bigger spoiler and a front splitter, but a nastier interior.

The 182 FF with cup packs has the best of everything.

I thought so, but any performance difference?

Also, can you still get the Cup packs added?

Not Engine wise, they all share the same. The handling is better on the Cupped Models.

Not sure tbh. Id have thought it would be expensive to get the handling pack retro-fitted, as a lot of the suspension components are different. In fact, i think the chassis might be diff, but someone will know better than me.

No difference in performance. But u can make ur car look like Both Cup packs by buying a bigger spoiler, front splitter and dark wheels.

None realy weight differences are minimal.

You could but for the cost its not worthwhile theres loads of bits you'd need to chnage.
