Seat is now taking orders for its latest limited
model, the new Leon ST Cupra Carbon Edition. You’ll have to be really quick if
you like what you see as apparently less than 50 cars will be available in the
UK.
Mechanically, the Leon ST Cupra Carbon Edition remains unchanged,
meaning it still uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter TFSI engine with 300 PS.
Unlike the normal hatchback Leon Cupra, the wagon version sends its power to
all four wheels. A dual-clutch automatic transmission is the only option.
The Carbon Edition brings additional styling
features and more kit; in addition to the carbon fiber side blades and rear
diffuser, the limited edition Cupra also features bigger Brembo brakes, a set
of 19-inch black alloy wheels and Cupra bucket seats. Customers will be offered
just a single color option and that’s Monsoon Grey.
The new exclusive edition of the Seat Leon ST Cupra,
priced at £ 35,575, hopes to repeat the success of the special Cupra R model
which quickly sold out.
