Default NEW Seat Leon Cupra breaks cover

Almost 2 days before its official launch Seatcupra.net shows the first official pics of the new Seat Leon Cupra. Its stats... amazing.. it has the most powerful version of the tfsi that we've seen so far, and some of the most beatiful buckets ever. You can find all about it here:

still FWD and lots of power... will be a good straight line racer, but not very good at corners

More power doesn't mean it's going to handle poorly. It's not like you use all of the power when you're cornering...

I really like the front view of the car, and the steering view + gauge pods are very good looking.

antonioledesma: I don't recall ppl calling ITR a straight line car.
dannyroz: Why bother? He's just another spammer.

Like Jeremy Clarkson said about the Vauxhall Astra VXR (240BHP): '' Putting this much power in a FWD car has a name. Its called the choas theory!''

I'd rather have that Ford S-max with the Focus ST engine
