SEAT has released a video documenting the development of its Leon Cup Racer which will make an appearance at the Goodwood Hillclimb next month.
Based on the five-door Leon model, the Cup Racer is propelled by a two-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged engine, which sends 243 kW (330 hp) and 350 Nm of torque to the front wheels via a 6-speed DSG transmission and electronic differential lock. An endurance racing version, equipped with a lever-operated sequential racing transmission and mechanical differential lock is also available.
“With two versions for sprint and endurance racing, the Cup Racer is ideal for an extremely broad palette of racing series – from the ETTC to the VLN Endurance Cup on the Nurburgring,” said Jaime Puig, Director of SEAT Sport.
Customers can purchase the Leon Cup Racer for €70,000 while the endurance version will set you back €95,000.
