This is the Seat Leon Copa, which takes the Cupra’s 2.0TSi engine up to 281bhp from the standard car’s 237bhp.Inspired by the Seat Supercopa series, a one-make European racing championship, the Copa Edition gets Eibach springs, uprated brakes and new bodykit. Its engine tweaks cut the Leon’s 0-62mph to just 5.9sec.Don’t get your hopes up, though; this super-Cupra won’t be coming to the UK. Instead it will be staying in Switzerland, where it was developed; Only 55 Copas will be produced and sold for the equivalent of £31,000.

Re: Meet the 281bhp Seat Cupra
I reckon it is a misprint, i've read 38k euros on most other sites. but I don't know what the exchange rate is these day. But As someone else said, remap, suspension and brakes and be done for a lot less.
Re: Meet the 281bhp Seat Cupra
They think they can sell 55???
Re: Meet the 281bhp Seat Cupra
That price has got to be a misprint, surely!
