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
