Mk2 SEAT Leon Cupra R POV Drive

Mk2 SEAT Leon Cupra R POV Drive

Hello guys, welcome back to Car Obsession, and welcome back to another POV drive. This time it's something rather special as earlier this year I was thrown the key to SEAT UK's heritage Mk2 SEAT Leon Cupra R. This is one of the hottest hatches of its time and this particular example has covered less than 10,000 miles!

Under the Speed Blue painted body is a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine as used in the standard Cupra. It has, however, been tickled a little bit to offer more power. The Cupra can offer 240hp with 300Nm of torque in standard form, but the R boasts 265hp with 350Nm.

This is thanks to changes to the ECU, gear ratios, and turbo boost pressure, plus the high-pressure fuel pump has been revised. 0-62 is achieved in 6.2 seconds, which is respectable even by today's standards, and the top speed is 155mph. This power is fed to the front wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox.
