The Leon Cup Racer, which was unveiled at May’s GTI Treffen in Reifnitz, is a car that embodies SEAT’s commitment to motorsport. SEAT has taken the new Leon as a basis and completely overhauled it, resulting in a truly cutting edge racing car. Powered by a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine with 330 PS and 340 Nm, fed to the front wheels through either a six-speed DSG automatic or a sequential racing transmission, the Leon Cup Racer is an uncompromising track machine.
The Leon Cup Racer gives a very clear indication of what a SEAT cup car racer might look like, and has been prepared for a wide range of racing series worldwide. Racing teams are already able to register interest in purchasing the car, with prices starting at €70,000 plus local taxes. “Motorsport is deeply anchored in our brand; SEAT has more than 40 years of racing history and, with the Leon Cup Racer, we are now writing the next chapter for our highly motivated customer teams,” says Dr. Matthias Rabe, SEAT Executive Vice-President for Research and Development.
“The Cup Racer is not a show model, but the first test car for our development work.”
