Just 24 Seat Leon Cupra Rs Are Coming To The UK At £35k A Pop
See the car in the picture above? It’s the new Seat Leon Cupra R, and in the UK, it’s set to be rarer than pretty much everything else on the road bar the most exotic supercars.
We already knew Seat was only going to make 799, but this week the Spanish firm’s UK arm announced that just 24 of that number will make their way to our shores. It won’t be cheap, either: each weighs in at £34,995 on the road.
That said, you shouldn’t be wanting for stuff. On top of what you get in the standard Cupra 300, the car has keyless ignition, the ‘Winter Pack’, a rear view camera, a 10-speaker BeatsAudio sound system, a fancier navigation system, various extra safety systems and adaptive cruise control.
More importantly, it’s packing an extra 10bhp relative to the standard Cupra (bringing the total to 306bhp), a re-tuned exhaust, fettled dampers, modified front camber angles, a new steering system and beefier Brembo four-pot callipers for the front axle.
It gets a meaner bodykit with a smattering of carbonfibre trim, while on the inside you’ll find a whole load of Alcantara plus some copper accents.
In other words, Seat UK shouldn’t have any trouble shifting all 24 rather swiftly.

Well at least as far as Cupras go - Germany is number one and around 400 of those 799 R’s have been allocated to Germany. Our dealership alone will get 3.
How many are coming to the US XD
The world is a big place!
There’s people rich enough to buy all of them
God, these wheels look hideous on that car.
They don’t fit at all. This isn’t the right type of car to have these wheels
I have my problems with the bronze accents and that weird looking over-fender look-a-like or whatever it’s supposed to be rear bumper.
But in the end, each to their own.
I actually love them
