Around every curve, the SEAT Leon Cupra R oozes unrestrained power and a scorching personality. The face is a mirror of the soul. And the front fog lamps with cornering lights wink at the possibilities of what this machine is capable. An imposing 2.0 TSI engine sets it apart from the rest. By far.
 
You could say this is the hottest hatch in town, starting with the 19” Potenza alloy wheels, tailgate with Cupra and R logo, and double oval/chromed exhaust pipe. It continues to the front bumper in body colour and black frame radiator with R logo.

Inside, the fire is even more palpable: in the instrument cluster with R logo and Dot Matrix, or the body hugging, competition-style bucket seats with Alcantara Cloth Silver and Black detailing. Grab hold of the leather gearshift knob and 3-spoke steering wheel because you are in for a six-speed ride of a lifetime. Which you can repeat at will.
