Seat had told us that it would be unveiling a “new and exciting” concept car at the upcoming 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, but a Spanish fan club beat them to it by publishing the first official photograph of the study, which it claims found on the pages of Spanish newspaper ABC. We asked around and can confirm that the scanned image is indeed is official.
According to the website, the new sports saloon concept is named IBL and it measures 4,670mm long and has a wheelbase of 2,710mm. This means it is the same size as the current Seat Exeo sedan (4,670mm long with a wheelbase of 2,642mm), which is based on the previous generation Audi A4.
The concept most likely previews a new sedan for Seat, though at this point we do not know if it depicts a replacement for the Toledo, the Exeo or a different model altogether.
We’ll have more on the IBL from the Frankfurt Motor Show floors next week.
