Seat Leon Cupra R

The popular front wheel drive Seat Leon Cupra R has proved to be one of the most popular sporting hatchbacks in recent years and now has an uprated replacement. Power and torque are up to 220bhp and 206lb-ft respectively. very respectible from a 1.8 litre engine albeit with 20 valves and a turbo charger, these sorts of figures would be in the region of a 3 litre normally aspirated engine. It has a 6 speed gearbox with close ratios taking to 60 in under 7 seconds and onto just under 150mph.

Standard features are a Tracker for security, four pot Brembo calipers, traction control and 18" alloys. The cost is now up to £18,000
