Increase in performance CUPRA -TFSI up to approx. 210 kW / 285 PS und 385 Nm
19-Inch wheel set „Multispoke“ and lowering up to 65 mm
Special downforcer and diffuser for CUPRA
Complete aerodynamic packageFollowing modifications for the newly launched Leon FR, JE DESIGN German Leingarten tuners, well-known refiners for SEAT, now resolve to take on the Spanish in the completion of the „CUPRA“.
While the “old” Seat Leon Cupra R (Typ 1M) has differed through its sporty and independent front and rear aprons from the Leon-vesions with less power, the new „CUPRA“ threatens the driver into danger of confusion.
The SEAT specialist JE DESIGN recognised this and offers help in form of an individualized grand entrance. Specially developed for the CUPRA from the Leingarten, Germany, based tuners, is a downforcer insert for the centre of the series-produced front apron and which at the same time minimizes buoyancy. The same function is fulfilled with a diffuser insert that is applied to the series-produced rear apron. More sportiness is procured through a new front grille minus Logo including grid insert. Headlight covers gives the Spanish car a serious glance.
Sporty front spoiler corners complete with additional air channels provide the JE DESIGNed Leon CUPRA with more passing-lane prestige. The sides are optimised with a side sills set through JE DESIGN. The tuners create another attractive addition through the rear apron set. Last but not least a rear wing provides more downforce on the rear axle especially during higher speeds. Furthermore, a self-adhering JE DESIGN roof fin "Shark attack" is available in black matt.
For an extra charge, JE DESIGN laminates individual parts for example the radiator grill or mirror cover in Carbon-Look.
Pure Performance!


The core of modification is the performance increase of the 2.0 T-FSI Motor . Instead of just 177 kW (240 HP), it now renders an attention getting value of 210 kW (285 HP). The torque increases by 85 from 300 to 385 Nm. The change in motor management creates a better driving performance: 261 km/h top speed (series-produced: 247 km/h) and 5,9 seconds from 0 to 100 (series-produced: 6,4) placing pressure on many other sports cars. For that reason, JE DESIGN Leon „CUPRA“ with its 250 km/h easily shakes off the electronic regular BMW M5 and Audi RS4. The power enhancement comes with TÜV parts endorsement. Included in the price is a 1-year guarantee on motor, transmission and gearbox. On request for additional price is the possibility to add a further year of guarantee.
Whoever wants acustical improvement for their Leon CUPRA, can order a 4-pipe end exhaust made of stainless steel with chromed end pipes additionally. This promises not only a sonor sound, but also optimises the motor performance through optimized exhaust flow.
JE DESIGN´s wheel expertise


Four wheel sets are provided for customer choice. A highpoint offered in 18 and 19-inch is the complete wheel set „Multispoke“ in chrome-look with the sizes of 8.0 x 19 ET 45 with tires 225/35 R 19 Y.
Optionally, the complete wheel set „Multispoke“ can be ordered in matt black with polished rim flange in dimensions 7.5 x 18“ ET 45 or 8 x 19” ET 45.
The Leon CUPRA of this press release – please take a look at the provided pictures (on CD) – rolls on wheel rims in sporty matt black with lacquered nearly complete white ring having a small gap tha includes the JE DESIGN logo.
JE DESIGN concerns itself that the Seat Leon power doesn’t toss itself from the street. For this reason, a sporty spring set brings the Leon CUPRA approx. 30mm closer to the street, lowering the center of gravity for clearly improved handling and driving ability. Alternatively, the tuners offer a sportier driving performance through a coilover suspension that alters the fiery Spaniard providing a freedom from street between 35 and 65 mm. A further technical as well as optically pleasing configuration level of the CUPRA with over 300 HP in a wide body version is currently in preparation for a world exclusive presentation at the SEAT Event from 24 – 26 August 2007 at the Technik Museum in Speyer, Germany

What do you think guys?Is it good?
I think yes because they increased the power for 45hp and it does 0-100 to 5.9secs..(6.5 secs does the normal)..Also the bodykit is good..A little weird though.

aaaaaaaah its horrid!!! get it away! aaaaah

aaaaaaaah its horrid!!! get it away! aaaaah


My first reaction was the same but after a while looking at it i think that the front is really ugly but the rest is just nothing great, i saw much worse tuned cars but that front is just ...

This is the most Seat car i've seen (for road cars).

However, i'd prefer the stock one (240hp)

Well they have successfully ruined a very nice car well done JE Design !!

Seriously though the Leon Cupra is fine has it is, looks wise and for that matter performance wise ! So why change it ??

Stupid if you ask me !

i think the added performance is a bonus, although you always have to keep 2 things in mind with front-wheel drive cars... torque steer and understeer...

but other than that, the bodykit is ugly... leave the looks standard, tune the suspension a bit and give the engine a bit more poke... you got a winner

Looks quite bad actually. The eyelids, the very very dodgy front bumper, don't really go well together. It's way too fussy, and white on black isn't that nice actually. I mean, if it was black on red, or had red wheels and green paint and a decent bumper, it would have been nicer.

Wow.

That's astonishing. It's as ugly as a Cayenne Turbo S, and it started out as a pretty nice looking car. How did they do it?

well the front is horrible. but i think it looks okay, just get rid of that..... thing in the front! whatever it is.. and 285 hp in a front wheel drive car is impressive.. but dangerous..

i think the added performance is a bonus, although you always have to keep 2 things in mind with front-wheel drive cars... torque steer and understeer...


exactly..

JE Design are crazy, they just totally ruined a good looking car. That front bumper is just horrifying. The rear is alright but the rest is bad including the rims which don't suit the car well. And they gave it a 45hp increase which probably the only thing that they did right...

the last Leon by JE design looked better(in the front), at the back and the rims are ok.

I feel it has that front nose from an Enzo :p but rest looks quite good

my eyes my beautiful eyes!!!!!

i think the added performance is a bonus, although you always have to keep 2 things in mind with front-wheel drive cars... torque steer and understeer...


dont you only get torque steer when you put a turbo in a front wheel drive car? i think this is a N/A car, is it?

the front actually looked good, before...the whole front is ugly, the eyelids, ugh, they make the car worse, the grill is okay, but the front bumper, ugh, never go with complicated designs...well, its ugly up the front, the side skirts are ugly, and the rear looks quite good...i dont really like it, but its awsome compared to the front, ill not comment on it

well i do like the increased performance...nothing much to comment on that

torque steer can affect any front wheel drive car powerful enough, turbo or not

oh, freewin!!!!!!!!:p

well, i learnt a new thing...but well, if it wasnt powerful, it wouldnt have torque steer, so its not what you get in every front wheel drive cars...but nowadays, front wheel cars are getting more powerful

oh, freewin!!!!!!!!:p


??????????

Well I think it's alright, the front is definitely weird, that front bumper is something totally new... But the rear looks nice in my opinion, the taillights and the rear exhausts look really cool.... The black rims look kind of cool as well, but also weird on a white car... the headlight eyelids makes the car just unrecognizable... Nice car anyway, looks very unique.

??????????

freewin told me that only adding a turbo to front wheel drive cars will make front wheel drive have torque steer...

arrgh!!! the front looks weird. other part acceptable. I'm just hoping that it doesn't torque steer so badly as the Saab Viggen!!!

Well I have no clue what torque steer actually is, I just like to think I do. But if a turbo adds enough/too much power it will make a fwd car torquesteer. But it can still torque steer without a turbo if it's powerful enough.

As for the car. I don't like it. It looks like it wants to eat me with that mouth. Stock Seats are totally sexy though. They're the best cars ever made! I was about to start saving up for an Altea right until they raised the taxes a month ago.

Torque steer is a function of inconsistencies in the power ditribution to the front wheels of front wheel drive cars, and is made apparent on pushing the car during turn-in. Most any FWD car, turbo or not, experiences this if enough power is put up there. Anything over 200 whp on a FWD car is kind of a waste, UNLESS you have equal length driveshafts and/or a limited slip differential. Still, even with those you're not going to get the same handling you would out of an AWD or RWD car.

A good example of torque steer is the last Astra VXR (240hp), and about the first 10-20 metres accelerates slower than a Golf GTI(200hp). But after that there's no chance for the Golf(on a straight lane, 400m for innstance). Both are FWD.

BUT - you can translate torque steer by yourself - don't RWD cars have it, too? I think they do!

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :p

don't RWD cars have it, too? I think they do!
No, RWD cars don't suffer from torque steer because the power isn't going to the turning wheels. AWD cars, however, can suffer from torque steer -- worse for ones that have a higher front wheel power split.

AWD? well i never knew that, damn...so AWD actually could have torque steer or something like that too? so basically, how does torque steer happen in an AWD car?

No matter what bodykits you put on it, it still looks like a beached whale on wheels

too much details. especially on the front end. it looks like a Starcraft spaceship on wheels (I don't like Starcraft spaceships on wheels). but I quite like the original model though...

Well, usually if a RWD car experiences symptoms similar to torque steer, the tires are either bald or the suspension is not set-up properly to handle the power. But if you are accelerating or braking through a turn in a RWD car and you hit a bump, the front tires can be made to press more firmly and mimic something like torque steer, but this is called "bump steering". Remember, torque steering (by its name) literally implies power being transferred to the turning wheels. So, RWD cars can't really have torque steer unless some outward force takes a hold of them.

AWD? well i never knew that, damn...so AWD actually could have torque steer or something like that too? so basically, how does torque steer happen in an AWD car?
Yes, AWD cars can suffer from torque steer -- especially in AWD systems that are front wheel biased. Remember, an AWD system has power going to the front and back wheels. How it behaves is usually dependent on the power split (how much of the total power is going to the front and how much is going to the back?). A standard AWD system like that used by VW and Audi has more power going to the front wheels (this mainly has to do with the position of their engine, but we'll skip that here), while a standard Subaru system has a 50/50 split, and more sophisticated systems like those seen on the Sti, Evo, or RS4 allow you to designate the front vs. back power ratio through an adjustable differential. So, different AWD systems can offer VERY different performance results. If you want traction in the snow, you probably want a FWD bias system, whereas if you're looking for performance on the track, you want more power going to the back wheels. But for the purpose of this discussion, basically any car that has any power going to the front wheels can suffer from torque steer. You'll definitely have less of an occurence in an AWD car than a FWD car, though.

I'd rather have a stock one. I wonder who actually buys this kind of cars.

This car isn't produced by a company..You buy it stock and then if you want you can put this bodykit and this performance package...
