Fifteen additional horses, the new León Cupra R sum and 225 validates the title of his predecessor: the most powerful SEAT ever produced in series. No extra charge, with no cosmetic change that the knob of the shifter and steering wheel, this Cupra provides even more excitement and adrenaline that his already predecessor. Highway Online has driven him to you.

Seat’s strategy as “sports brand” within the Volkswagen Group has proved a success and so is confirmed with every product launched on the market. The distinctive “Cupra” (acronym derived from “Cup Racing”) accompanies the best achievements of this new era and, when R also appears, is that the model has been developed by Seat Sport and pampered by the assembly lines of Martorell. The public they are directed these powerful and hilarious driving machines each acronym appreciated for what it is and boasts all exterior ornaments they represent. In fact, these small emblems are becoming part of hunting unscrupulous collectors that the torn body as the owner neglected.

Ibiza and Leon Cupra R have therefore been blockbusters that have exceeded the expectations largesse on them. The Leon Cupra R existing so far, equipped with 1.8 turbo engine 210 hp, already manufactured 3,300 units and since the bet works, now Seat is reinforced with 15 horses more in order to proclaim this new creation as the most powerful Seat’s history. This update will allow mechanical day life of the León Cupra R is extended well beyond its nearly 2 years and also will fall as rain in May on a very receptive to the figures improve those fifteen extra horses potential clientele. Let them: top speed is now 242 km / h; the acelereación from 0 to 100 km / h, 6.9 seconds; meet just one kilometer from standstill takes him 26.8 seconds. Actually, the turbo engine 1.8-in version of 225 hp is not new in the Volkswagen Group, that is what propels the Audi TT, but its combination with a front-wheel drive only itself is completely new.

225 hp to digest and properly transmit them to the ground, they have been redesigned some elements, such as bearings, although the chassis -the called “Agile Chassis” with DSR, the driving-dynamic response and suspension morons have not changed. Large louvers perforated in the front apron allow proper cooling double intercooler and at the rear a chrome tailpipe oval outputs emissions complying with Euro III standard and a roar that “hooks” and which it has been carefully designed to seduce. How? Well thanks to a series of elements specifically placed on the final leg of the escape, leading to what the brand calls “engine Seat sound”: the quality of sound at idle and small maneuvers and acceleration is improved, but is filtered when the tour to middle and high range engine so that the ears of the occupants not “suffer” on long journeys. The brakes are Brembo rapier four bowlers (painted in a striking red through tires) and vented 323 mm diameter discs on the front axle. Operation is reinforced with EBA, an assistant art braking increases braking and is only activated in emergency situations.
Against the great contribution of the engine, the rest of the car are minimal variations. Increased presence of identifying that we have a Cupra R version inserts and, inside, two touches. The first is the steering wheel, three arms and lined in black leather with perforated sections and a strip of red skin at the center point of the top (to indicate the center direction, as in racing cars), plus a “R” inserted in the central arm. The second is the handle of the shifter, with perforated leather side on red background and with the outline of the gears in the same color silkscreened.
And if the SEAT Sport engineers have resulted in the Cupra R series all their experience in the competition for who gets behind the wheel of the 225 hp feelings are what should be a pilot: excitement and adrenaline. The dynamic test that has called us Seat has run for around Barcelona, ​​both sections of motorway as twisty roads delicious why this Cupra R drive can only be described as pleasure. Highway, cruises that can be achieved with greater aplomb and security allow embark on long journeys with -good comfort, the suspensions are tougher than those of a saloon to use, but who cares – without having to reducing the horizons of use of this lion, devouring kilometers unparalleled ease.

In the winding paths, the fun is second to none. Fast reactions obediently behind the wheel, agile path changes, overflowing with energy, submissive to the brake. In the driving position, any shock: the seats perfectly reflected the body; support in the wheel arch, metal, does the rest. Changes feet on the pedals clutch, brake and accelerator happen quickly, each gear comes in time, the engine roars that sound … what was it? Anyway, it sounds like a race circuit sounds, sounds asphalt. All with the guarantee of traction control and stability of series, a hiperprecisa direction of efficient millimeter brake … an experience difficult to express in words. If you like driving, driving really, this is your car.

Back to reality. Seat Leon Cupra R starts to be sold in Spain in late July and will be priced the same as the León Cupra R 210 hp currently marketed: 27,295 euros.
