Cupra VZ TCR
Cupra has unveiled its most hardcore variant of the Leon hot hatch with the new VZ TCR.
The latest pocket rocket pays tribute to Cupra’s Leon VZ TCR race car and comes equipped with a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-charged petrol engine that develops 320bhp and 420Nm of torque, making it the most powerful front-wheel-drive Leon ever. It can hit 100kmh in 5.2 seconds.
The chassis has been tuned and features Cupra’s Adaptive Chassis Control, which electronically adapts the car’s shock absorbers to improve ride comfort and handling.
There are also Akebono performance brakes with six-piston callipers, quad copper exhaust pipes, lightweight alloy wheels, performance tyres, a larger rear spoiler, front and rear splitters, side skirts and a diffuser.
Inside, there are removable rear seats, a strut bar and rear netting, while the front features racing “CupBucket” seats with four-strap harnesses for track days.
