Drivers are looking for a sports compact from the Volkswagen Group I think with pleasure Golf GTI or on Golf R. But other brands in the group also offer great alternatives. This is the case Audi S3 and RS3 of course, but in a more sensible register Seat Leon Cupra generation offered high performance at a more reasonable price than the German brands of the Volkswagen group.

From 179 to 310 horsepower

Appearing more than 20 years ago, the name Cupra then qualified the sportiest versions of the Leon. The first to 179 horsepower in the case of Leon of the first generation beginning of the millennium, but this value was growing rapidly. She thus rose to 265 horsepower for the second generation Leon and even to 310 horsepower for Leon of the third generation in the most extreme performance! As for the fourth generation, it is now exclusively offered by Cupra, which has since become its own brand.

She swallows a Mercedes CLS

In this video, the Seat Leon Cupra of the third generation takes center stage. We find her on the German highway in search of maximum speed. If that’s okay electronic limitation up to 250 km/h, the version that concerns us promises much more! This is because this copy has been significantly modified to the point that its engine now develops 513 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque. What mark to reach 300 km/h at the end of the analog counter of this copy? Yes, and even overtaking them on a long straight, where this little Seat Leon even swallows a Mercedes CLS, which also rushes at full speed on this unlimited highway.
