Seat Planning Seven Cupra Models By 2021: Report

Take a seat, cause Seat’s going big on performance. The Cupra brand will see seven new models as the company plans to build a more comprehensive lineup, according to a new report.

It comes from the brand’s Director of Business Development, Strategy, Brand, and Operations, Antonio Labate. He revealed the plans in an interview at an event for the Cupra Ateca, reports Periodismo del Motor.

“We will launch seven new models until 2021,” he said. That includes special versions of the Cupra Ateca and other models and special versions with special finishes and equipment limited to 1,000 units.

The performance brand, split off from Seat as a stand-alone earlier this year has already revealed the Ateca crossover. It gets a 2.0L TSI four that produces 296 hp and 295 lb-ft. With a seven-speed dual-clutch box, the speedy Spaniard manages 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds.

The next one is said to be a version of the Leon compact hatch, boosting. Expect more models from the Seat lineup to get the performance arm’s warm embrace, but not all of them. We don’t know all of the planned cars, but there are rumors circulating that it will get a performance crossover that’s exclusive to Cupra and not mirrored by a conventional Seat version.

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...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
