Seat
Leon ST Cupra by Je Design
If
you ever thought that the regular 276 hp Seat Leon ST Cupra needs a
little more oomph, then look no further than JE Design’s offering.
Described
by the tuning company as “the next blockbuster”, the 350 PS and 440 Nm of torque on tap by the uprated engine get the most out of the
car’s 2.0-litre turbocharged, four-pot mill.
That’s
enough to take the estate variant of the Leon up to 280 km/h and
closer to the big league of performance-oriented station wagons. Moreover, JE
Design also offers a two year warranty on its performance enhancement.
It has received a customized wide body kit to go with its power boost. It
consists of a additional spoilers for the front bumper, massive wheel arch
flares, carbon-look side-skirts and a rear apron housing the diffuser.
The
Cup Racer style wide-body looks sinister in black, especially complemented by
the car’s stance made possible by the 20 mm lowered KW coilover suspension DDC
Plug & Play and the alloy wheels (from ATS or OZ) up to 10 x 19 inches in
size wrapped in 265/30 R19 tires.
Completing
the whole package is a stainless steel flap exhaust system with EC approval
controlled by the original driving profile selection made by Seat (normal,
sport and Cupra); the first two options features different level of sporty yet
discreet exhaust sounds, while the Cupra mode opens the flap and lets the full
glory of the engine pass unhinged, bypassing the four, 80 millimeters in
diameter, tailpipes.
