First Images, Details of Seat Ibiza CUPRA Released
With 180hp 1.4 TSI twin-turbo engine

Today is the day we present to you the reason behind the awesome Bocanegra Concept, today we present to you the first images and details of the Ibiza CUPRA model. It is powered by a brand new 1.4 TSI twin-turbo engine that generates 180 horsepower and it is mated to the 7 speed DSC gearbox which similarly features in its Sport-Coupe sibling.

The “Arrow Design” concept seen throughout the Ibiza range continues to inspire the model, the designers have remodelled the front bumper to incorporate the extra air intakes that surround the grille and clearly contributes to its added aggression. The rear end bumper also fails to escape the wrath of the engineers with a centrally mounted exhaust pipe that is surrounded by a wind controlling rear diffuser. The look is completed with a set of 17 inch alloy wheel and twin chrome headlights. Inside the vehicle but hidden from us in these initial pictures are CUPRA sports seats, aluminium pedals and an “easy entry” system on the passenger seat.

The brand new 1.4 TSI twin-turbo engine continues Seat's tradition to care for the environment with reduced CO2 emissions, its low displacement is testament to this fact. A bunch of upgraded systems add to the overall driving experience, these include TCS (Traction Control System), EBA (Emergency Brake Assistance), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and a CUPRA Suspension system

No further details have been released yet, but expect to hear more closer to the models debut at the Paris Motor Show in October.

I don't like the side air vents. Other than that it looks nice.

looks so fake and tacky. Also since when does VAG have a 180hp 1.4 TSI and also since when does VAG bring out the top of the line version before the 2nd top in line? Basically the ibiza FR should be revealed first, and since when does VAG not increase power over previous generations. 180hp is just as much as the old cupra, but the leon cupra got a massive power rise up to 240hp, a gain of over 40hp on the old model!

Impressive machine, but horrible looks! I would pic a Renault Clio Sport over this any day, no matter the HP difference..

Chavs will love it.

nice car
i could imagine one with a black matt front like on the concept, including matt viper strips all the way to the exhaust (on a shiny black body). including black wheels with a red ring.

Naaaa it's more of a younger business lads who can't afford anything else more expensive

we must be thankfull that the HP war seems to be over! they don't need a massive power increase every generation, in the end its not the HPs which make a good car.

True, but just worked out that this is not the top of the range ibiza. Basically there is gonna be a SEAT bocanegra with 211hp 2.0TFSI and be out september 2009. Happy days
