SEAT Leon Cupra R First UK test

[m0rk]

SEAT kindly invited SEATCupra.net to an exclusive preview of their latest and most powerful production SEAT to date, the SEAT Leon Cupra R.
So with little delay we headed off to Milton Keynes to meet up with SEAT UK's Head of PR, Mike and SEAT Leon Product Manager, Andy.

The task set before us was to take the very latest and as yet unreleased barn-storming Leon Cupra R for a spirited test around Buckinghamshire.

Many thanks fellas - great write up

Fantastic that SEAT UK gave you first shot at a UK spec model and test drive.

I'll look forward to seeing one in the showrooms by summer.

What a good read!

Good write up lads, looks like an interesting proposition, although how long before they start lopping money off the 25k price?

Have they mentioned anything about numbers per year?

Great read that. Good work guys.

I think the Mk2 LCR will do well, I tend to agree in that it'll be more 'new-seat' customers than existing who buy it though.

Still, if I win a lot of money, I'll get one! But I'd still keep my Mk1.

Wonder what it maps to stage 1?

The new price puts me off, because I know they will take a hit in the first few months. But could well be an interesting used buy.

They didn't say they are limiting them, almost every dealer has been given the option of a demo car for its official dealer launch around May. Which means the dealers will be open to offers on their demo cars.

Order books officially open tomorrow, for anyone who wants theirs to arrive within the first/second shipments.

Then from that point on they are essentially building them to order.

will see how that pans out then, exchanging contracts on a house in a couple of weeks, 0.6miles from work, so we will be going down to one car.

Maybe it will look better in white but i prefer the looks of the K1, it looks slightly bulkier in your face me thinks
