I threw it in here the other day bud.

Interesting video popped up today. Carwow have pitted a Cupra Ateca against a Golf R BUT have apparently gone to SEAT to plead with them about adding the £500 ABT tune on..

SEAT obliged apparently.. and thought about it as an added extra for Ateca. How real that all is, is anyone’s guess but sounds promising!

Just didn’t want you thinking no one was interested haha

I thought they didn't want to read about Atecas.

Not bad for the ateca since it's heavier.

Yup, and less aerodynamic.

Only 40 nm increase in torque - 10%.

That’s a tad disappointing - WLTP restrictions?

I would of guessed this may be because of warranty 'restrictions'. Same as Mountune for Fords, they know full well they can add more power/torque, but had to remove the line about not effecting warranty..This is at least what I've seen on their latest power upgrades!

But the bottom line is, quicker than a Golf R for 500 squids.

Until the Golf R does the same modification.
