Speed Buster tunes the Cupra Ateca 2.0 TSI up a notch

Even as a production vehicle, the Cupra Ateca 2.0 TSI possesses a rather impressive 300 horsepower (224 kW) along with 400 Nm (298 lbft) of torque. The mini-SUV needs exactly five seconds to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) from standstill and maxes out at 247 km/h (153 mph) – both impressive results for its weight category. Still, someone over at Speed Buster must have thought there was no such thing as too much engine power. True, that…

The tuner tackled the 4WD version of the SUV, called the Cupra Ateca 2.0 TSI 4Drive. Once upgraded with the CTR Tuningbox kit, the 2.0-liter turbo engine of the Spanish car started churning out 388 hp (289 kW) and 522 Nm (385 lbft) of torque.

Speed Buster neglected to mention just how fast the car became after the upgrade, but it stands to reason to assume that it now concludes the standard sprint in barely more than four seconds.
