Exeo Cupra R

[BojanRS4]

So I've heard romors that Seat is planing Exeo cupra R, should have Audi RS4 B7 wide body but no high reving 4.2 V8 but posible S4 B8 supercharged V6 detuned to 290-300HP. 7 speed DSG and 6 speed manual transmissions are concidered. It'll have Audi RS4 Cabriolet interior with sedan extirior alikes. Seat will install different seats, steering wheel and exterior body kit will differentiate from audis a bit.

If they did, I'd be very interested. As it is, I doubt that's true.

I'm sure they will build one as a concept for one of the upcoming car shows, however, chances are slim to none to go to production

 

[jonjay]

I seriously doubt they would do such a power car on FWD? I may be wrong of course.

 

[BojanRS4]

It would use AWD quattro just like RS4

 

[slim20vt]

im liking the sound of this !!! keep me up dated it would be the fastest SEAT ever made. cool..............

shouldnt they make a fr or cupra first before we get excited about a cupra r?

and pigs might fly too.

I just don't see it. This sort of car is completely out of SEAT's price band.

Not to mention the fact that SEAT have dropped the Cupra R brand - the FR is the 'new' Cupra and Cupra is the 'new' Cupra R

I thought this was pretty common knowledge now?

And where did you hear these rumours?

Some people from Audi, and it is not decided what it's gonna be called, FR, Cupra or Cupra R or something totaly different and new. First we should see a body kit on one of the upcoming shows and early next year an actual wide body Exeo Concept.

There will be a new leon cupra r at the end of the year/begining of next. It remains to be seen whether it will come to the uk or not!

Can't see an exeo cupra r to be honest and dsg gearbox will not fit in the exeo!

I spoke to my local dealer about an Exeo only last weekend and he said that they were told on a recent demo week in Spain "Categorically, if there was going to be a Cupra model of the Exeo, it wouldn't be for at least 3 years and probably not until it gets its first facelift and the price has come down a bit"

Which is a shame as I'm currently looking for a motorway cruiser and really wanted to stick with SEAT, purely for sentiments sake, but it looks like its going to have to be an Audi or Merc.

I smell bs.

Biggest siren went off when I read "quattro just like RS4".

Quattro is purely for Audi's use, no other VAG brand. HALEX maybe, Quattro no.

 

[sl1m1thy]

dont lambo use the "quattro" for the 4X4 drive cars? and is a memeber of the big ol' vag family

 

[rllmuk]

Not quite comparable though.

I'm not fussed about quattro, but I would be amazed if Seat could do anything with the presence of the RS4 with the Exeo.

 

[Dyscontinued]

Can't find any information on the Lambo system.

I did mean less austere brands though, not more

in essence no, as in laymans terms the fast lambos just use haldex but in reverse.

You mean of course the lambo sends its power to mostly the rear wheels as opposed to the front????

yeah

 

[Leonidas]

I think the Exeo would be perfect for a hot bocanegra version
Has a similar front to the beeza........
