On the eve of the debut Seat showed the new Leon Cupra R

Officially declassified Spanish "charged" hatchback Leon Cupra R. The novelty is equipped with the modified petrol engine TSI with a turbo-supercharging, working volume of 2,0 liters, which gives out 310 horsepowers. It works in tandem with a six-speed "mechanics". With this engine Seat Leon Cupra R can be rightly considered the most powerful model in the history of the Spanish brand.

Of the main innovations are Dynamic Chassis Control, a new sports exhaust system, improved Brembo brakes and an aerodynamic body kit that consists of side skirts, rear diffuser, spoiler and other more aggressive bumpers.

Plus, the Seat Leon Cupra R can boast of a radiator grille with chrome edging and modified head optics.

The manufacturer decided to limit the release of the model 799 copies, which will go on sale to the European market at the end of this year. The cost of a "hot" novelty is not yet announced.

The official premiere of the "charged" Seat Leon Cupra R will be held next week in Frankfurt.
