Comparing to the series-production model, the new Ibiza SC Trophy has a wheelbase increased by 13mm and a front track by 170mm. These modifications are mainly due to the new aerodynamic kit of the Spanish model which includes front and rear bumpers, a rear wing and 17-inch alloy wheels. An improved braking system with 345mm (front) and 288mm (rear) is also available alongside a modified oil sump able to tackle the high lateral forces generated under tough racing conditions.
