Seat Unveils the Leon Cupra R

Its 2.0-litre TSI engine, which can be found in the Volkswagen Scirocco, has improved from possessing 240 to 265 horsepower, allowing the vehicle to register 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds.

The 19-inch tires make way for huge disc brakes (17-inch rotors in front, 17-inches in back). On the outside, the Leon Cupra R can be distinguished from other Leon models by the R logo displayed on the front grill and back hatch.

A true Spanish standout, the Seat is more powerful than ever, equipped with ABS, TCS (traction control system), limited-slip differential, cruise control and an iPod-compatible stereo.

In the redesigned interior are bucket seats, aluminum pedals and LED lighting on the dashboard.

Unfortunately, the Seat Leon Cupra R will not be crossing the Atlantic.
