JE DESIGN a German tuning who kicked off their Seat experience souping up the Leon FR have now unleashed their expertise on the Leon Cupra with formidable results.  JE DESIGN have taken to the Seat Leon Cupra with solid results boosting the 2.0L TFSI up to 210Kw / 285 Hp with terminal velocity @ 261 Km/h with Torque hitting the 385 Nm mark.

Not stopping at a stonking mechanical makeover, JE DESIGN also took a rather aggressive approach in the styling department delivering a complete custom body kit designed to maxmise both downforce and respect.

Options include multispoke performance rims up to 19″ in size and handling packages dropping the JE DESIGN Cupra some 65 mm closer to Earth.

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. Further event information can be found at www.seat-event.info

The Spaniards took a great platform (Golf GTI) and styled it their own. JE DESIGN simply turned the volume up to 11.

Recipe for Atomic Weapon.

• Take 1 part Golf Mk1
• Take Hayabusa Engine
• Apply Engineering Skills & Combine.
• Revel in Busa Powered… ness.

The overlords of this mechanical marvel are H.R. Engineering of Essex, UK. They’ve created a monster with 350 Hp and a whole lotta ‘busa snarl.

At HHH we feel that power built on power is a wonderful thing. With this in mind, VW tuning masters Oettinger have released two new upgrade kits for the already souped up VW Golf GTI ‘Edition 30′.

These new kits provide a practical roadmap to strapping on performance into the detuned 2.0 T-FSI power plant from the current Audi S3 that runs 230HP standard.

Stage I is plug in power via an ECU tune up and increases the horses to 305Hp with 400Nm of torque. On the strip the Stage I tune up will punch out a 6.2 sec 0 to 100 km/h (62pmh) with full power hammering out to 252 km/h (158 mph) limits.

Stage II builds further with the usual make my baby drive easier and she’ll stonk harder approach.  Stage II introduces Oettinger’s Intercooler, modified piping and carbon ‘ram air’ intake at the front end whilst breathing easier out the back with a polished stainless steel sport exhaust system that includes rear and middle silencer.

The end results is an increase to 330 Hp and 430 Nm of torque, 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) time of 5.9 sec and top end speed of 258 km/h (161 mph).
