JE DESIGN Brings Leon Cupra ST Widebody to Essen

Premiere at the Essen Motor Show
Widebody in its best form
Power increase up to 350 PS possible

It comes from JE DESIGN! The Leon Cupra WIDEBODY Race 350, put on wheels by the refiner JE DESIGN from the Swabian Leingarten, currently holds the official world record for street-legal front wheel drive vehicles at the Sachsenring. Right on time for the Essen Motor Show (November 28 until December 6, 2015), the team led by Jochen Eckelt presents the next blockbuster – a Leon Cupra ST in a customized widebody kit. Power boost, flap exhaust system and complete wheel set support the sporty optics.

A three-part bumper attachment, massive wheel arch flares front and rear, side skirts in carbon look and a rear apron with two molded diffusers make the compact station wagon into a power athlete. The widebody kit in the style of the Cup Racer is available for 4,879 Euro. At a price of 809 Euro, the refiner offers a rear diffuser that fits both the original exhaust and the JE DESIGN flap exhaust system. Sporty and ambitious drivers who want to hunt their Cupra ST down the race track grab the LED rain lights corresponding to the FIA regulations (249 Euro). This can be easily integrated into the rear diffuser.

Such a racy optic needs the right sound! The tuning specialists JE DESIGN know this. They offer a stainless steel flap exhaust system with EC approval for the Leon Cupra ST. This is controlled by the original driving profile selection made by Seat. The driving profiles Normal, Sport and Cupra can be selected. In the profiles Normal and Sport, the exhaust flap is closed and the exhaust sounds sporty but discreet. Cupra mode is different: With the flap open, the exhaust system reveals its full sound – music to the ears of Seat fans. Priced at 2,499 Euro, there is a sound upgrade made of four striking tailpipes with a diameter of 80 millimeters each. For 1,178 Euro extra, the downpipe jointly developed by JE DESIGN and HJS for the flap exhaust system with 76 mm diameter is available. This accessory also has an EC approval.

JE DESIGN emphasizes the sporty appearance with a performance upgrade for the Cupra ST. An additional electronic box allows the power of 206 kW/280 hp to be increased to 258 kW/350 hp with a maximum torque of 440 Nm. It doesn’t top off until a speed of 280. The performance enhancement includes a two-year warranty on engine, driveline and transmission (from the first registration) at a price of 2,299 Euro.

The spring set for 191 Euro, available for the original shock absorbers, provides 20 millimeters lowering. Alternatively, JE DESIGN offers the KW coilover suspension DDC Plug & Play. The application, available for 2,299 Euro, brings the fiery Spaniard as much as 45 millimeters closer to the tarmac.

Complete wheel sets with light alloy wheels from ATS or OZ up to a size of 10 x 19 inches and 265/30 R19 tires complete the offer. Prices start at 2,052 Euro.

All prices include VAT, excluding mounting and painting. Complete conversions are possible directly from JE DESIGN – acceptance by an official inspection organization included. For more information about the products offered, please visit www.je-design.de

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers. The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience. So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf. In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
