2008 Seat Leon Cupra 240 Hp “K1” Limited Edition Version

One of Europe’s best looking GTi’s, the Seat Leon Cupra has obtained an even sportier look courtesy of a dramatic limited edition styling kit version that is available for order in the UK. The Seat Leon Cupra K1’s styling additions include extensively re-worked front and rear bumpers, side skirts, a more pronounced tailgate spoiler and unique chrome-tipped, centrally-mounted, oval exhaust. Additionally, UK buyers can also opt for 18” Orion alloy wheels in black or white color. Prices for the special edition Leon Cupra K1 are set at £20,495, or £1,000 over the standard model.

Based on the VW Golf GTI platform and mechanics, the 5door Leon Cupra is powered by a 240 Hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. According to the Spanish firm, the Cupra sprints from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.7 seconds and can go up to a top speed of 247 km/h or 154 mph. –Image gallery after the jump
