Autosport - New Cupra??

[ianrawlins]

Hi All,

Just back from the Autosport exhibition and thought I'd show you some pictures I took on the Seat stand. According to the girl on the stand this car is just a styling excercise from Spain. But looking at the quality of the kit and the perfectly fitting shut lines, this must be going into production, but she did deny that it was going to be the new Cupra, I think she could be lying???

Oh and there's one of me with Mr Plato.

Did you read the card by the car?

It's the SEAT Aerodynamic kit, not the new Leon.

Sod the cupra, I'd get that Aerodynamic kit for sure

I hope when we do see the new Cupra the front end is more like Plato's BTCC car which was just infront of it.

Front and rear bumpers both looked a bit duff IMO on the Silver car with Aero kit

I had a quick read through it and it listed all of the optional extras, but with no model, specs nor prices. That's why I asked the bird on the stand and she said it was just a styling excercise?

 

[m0rk]

That's because the parts will never be sold in the UK - hence no pricing...

Available as an official New Leon accesory kit in Spain.

Kit looks great on the car, I would expect the Cupra to be different though.

Ahh, that's the spain link then. Apparently the car was only a 1600. Not sure on that rear spoiler, but the rest of the car looked pretty good.

 

[skOOby]

I'm liking that - not sure about the rear, but the rest of the car looks

Wouldn't the back be a lot nicer if it didn't have that silly looking centre exit exhaust.

Oh and how much had Plato had to drink?

and the silly grill things right and left on the rear bumper

THe rear of the car, side profile.. in fact all of it looked really good in the metal.. but im still not sure of the whole new Leon, deffintly looked sporty though.. probably would of looked stunning in black.

Must admit inside that Silver Leon was a very pleasant place to be tho

What have they done to the Leon!? It used to be such a nice looking car. I'm sticking with my Cupra.

They made it look like the old focus, whle Ford made the new Focus look the Mk1 Leon......in 5 years time SEAT will make the Mk3 Leon look like the Mk1 Leon

 

[Cupra Kid]

not sure on the car at all, i love some parts but then i hate others. Plato looks stoned or something

 

[stpete]

Any one notice how empty the Saet stand was compared to the ford one?

Those polished R wheels suit it in silver not sure about any other colour.
