LONDON, July 31st – The super-exclusive Seat Leon Cupra R that was released earlier this year saw buyers snap them up immediately So Seat has created another limited-race model, the Leon ST Cupra Carbon Edition.
When the Cupra R hatchback was launched earlier this year, only 700 units were produced and only 24 were sold to British customers. . It has been revealed that 50 units of the Leon ST Cupra Carbon Edition will be awarded in the UK, but for the moment there is no word to know if this model will be sold elsewhere, and if so how many will there be? What sets this car apart from the Hatch Cupra R, and most other limited edition performance cars elsewhere, is that this one is a wagon body style.
The Carbon Edition is based on the current Leon ST Cupra 300, so it will stick to the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 296bhp and is paired with a six-speed DSG gearbox and Seat's 4Drive AWD system Fortunately, and unlike the Leon Cupra hatchback sedan, the ST is not affected by the new WLTP regulations regarding fuel economy and fuel efficiency. emissions in the UK, so it keeps the full 296bhp instead of being lowered to 286bhp as the the hatch. Inevitably, that does not mean either a performance decline, so the carbon edition will still be able to go from 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds and continue at a top speed limit of 155 mph.
To stand out from the ST Cupra 300 standard, the Carbon Edition is packed with a range of additional sport, style and performance features. In addition to carbon fiber side slats and front and rear diffusers, this model, only finished in Monsoon Gray, is also equipped with high-performance Brembo brakes, 19-inch black alloy wheels and Cupra bucket seats. The rear exhausts of the quad will also be decorated with the Cupra logo.
Despite a high price in the UK of £ 35,575 (RM190,150), it is expected that the carbon edition will follow the footsteps of the Cupra R special edition The director General of Seat UK, Richard Harrison, says of the car: "Following the success of the Cupra R special edition, we know that there is a demand for limited-edition models from customers who The Leon ST Cupra Carbon Edition not only delivers stunning and unique looks, but we believe that improved performance and competitive pricing will be a real benefit.
