A zarpazos. So, he has entered the heir to the Cupra. This lion is as fierce as they paint and much more than you might think skeptics Diesel. However, it will not cause a drain on our current accounts.

The heir to the Cupra has already begun to roar. This lion does not hide its grip: an aggressive image and behavior very, very Rácing are the strengths of this sport, which, at par, is a diesel quite affordable compared to the creations there on the market today.

The Leon FR TDi just over 21,000 euros (the psychological barrier of three and a half million pesetas), but has similar figures to reaching models like the BMW 320td Compact or the Mercedes C220 CDi Sportcoupé (the latter 10,000 euros more expensive).

In addition, calculator in hand, we find that we just have to pay 2,000 euros more than the 1.9 TDi Sport finish and have a true sports car, “Formula Racing” for everyone.

Money will also save lovers “tunning” and disgust the dedicated designers (that take years to design a model and then see how a miscreant puts a huge spoiler that destroys all its aerodynamics and behavior): Seat Leon FR comes ” maqueado “factory.

The front has air vents shaped honeycomb group the fog. Bumpers, rear spoiler, sills, side moldings, mirror housings and door handles are the same color of the body (ah, do not you turn crazy trying to open the trunk: the closure is hidden behind the “S” Seat).

The wheels are also special: 225/45 R tires mounted with exclusive wheels of no less than 17 inches (none of his rivals has dared with such shoes). The chrome output dual exhaust and abbreviations FR (the first letter in gray, the second red) also reveal that this is not a lion either.

As fierce as they paint
After giving as we have seen quite a “blow” to prices (including its relative the Golf), this lion also just the stereotype that a “genuine sports is linked to a powerful gasoline engine.” The feelings it brings are very similar to those of said mechanical models.

a little gruff when starting shown, but only expect to reach 2,000 rpm to come out fired and, from there, speed and speed as the tachometer climbs relentlessly: it moves with all agility 4,000 laps (it looks no end!). The six relationships squeezes each horse perfectly.

Equally brilliant their accelerations are their recoveries; thanks to its huge torque, this model is quite safe overtaking and additions.

The Leon FR gets walk the kilometer from a standstill according to our technical center in 30 seconds, reaches 215 km / h and, most importantly, all with an average consumption of less than seven liters per 100 kilometers. The only thing that is not so content is the noise (which, although it sounds very “racing” can take its toll on a long trip).
