For the hot hatch-loving Brits Seat has released the latest edition of its Leon Cupra R which with 265 hp is the most powerful production car they’ve ever produced. The source of power is a 2.0 liter 16v turbocharged four cylinder petrol engine featuring a new high-pressure fuel pump injector and increased turbo pressure, which also delivers 350 Nm of torque.

So while this car is not as good as the Golf R, it will eat the GTI for breakfast. The power is transferred to the front wheels using a six-speed gearbox. It does o to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds and top speed of 155 mph, while returning 34 mpg.

The car also features a number of electronic driving aids to minimize the inevitable drawbacks of a powerful FWD car, such as torque steer. It comes as standard with Traction Control, ESP, an advance ABS, and and EBA. And by using beefed up suspension, 19-inch wheels and high performance tires, Seat promises optimal grip in every situation.

This hot Seat comes with body kit to show off its inner power a bit! The front bumper with its huge air intakes sports a lip spoiler, and at the back there’s a roof spoiler along with an air diffuser in which you’ll find two tailpipes located tight in the middle. Inside the cabin you get sporty bucket seat covered in leather, and a steering wheel with flat bottom.

The car’s currently on sale in UK starting from £25 205.
