With the first juicy details and photos of the all-new Seat Leon Mk3 out in the open, it’s time to imagine what the range-topping Cupra / Cupra R model, likely to be presented next year, could look like.
The design made by Khalil Bouguerra suggests that Seat will adorn the Cupra model with a black finish for the grille surround, alloy wheels and mirror caps while also adding a new rear bumper with side vents, a diffuser and a centrally mounted single exhaust pipe.
We think that the real Cupra may also feature a different front bumper than the Leon FR upon which this CGI is based, along with side skirts and possibly a roof spoiler.
In it is current form, the Leon Cupra R features the VW Group’s 2.0-liter TSI turbocharged inline-four with 261hp (265PS) driving the hatchback’s front wheels. We wouldn’t be surprised if its replacement made use of the same powertrain, perhaps tweaked to improve its green credentials and fuel economy numbers.
