Hot Leon roars into British show

There'll be some hot stuff on SEAT's British Motor Show stand - as the firm will give its spectacular new Leon Cupra a world debut.

06th June 2006

The all-new flagship will be the most powerful SEAT hatch ever thanks to its 240bhp 2.0-litre FSI turbo engine. Although the Cupra will be slightly down on power compared to Mazda's forthcoming 256bhp 3 MPS, it still promises to do 0-60mph in around six seconds and deliver a 150mph top speed.

Fitted with a bold bodykit, which is inspired by SEAT's World Touring Car Championship racers and follows on from the Geneva concept, the Cupra should turn heads. Lowered, stiffened suspension and uprated brakes ensurea drive to match its looks.

Inside, the car gets sports seats and Cupra-branded dials. SEAT has chosen to unveil the model at July's ExCeL show as the UK is the biggest market in the world for its performance models. Sales start next year, with prices from £19,000.
