New Ibiza gets Cupra edition

Spanish car maker SEAT has announced a hot Cupra version of the all-new Ibiza range.

The performance enhanced Cupra packs a 180 hp 1.4 TSI twin-turbo engine under the bonnet.

Additional racing driver touches include a 7-speed DSG gearbox with steering wheel shift-paddles.

Up front is a newly designed bumper, featuring the air intake vents surrounding the central grille.

The Cupra rides on 17" alloy wheels, and moving backwards, the prominent shoulders house the rear lights, ahead of a centrally placed trapezoid tailpipe.

The combination of the 1.4 TSI engine and the agility and sporty character of the DSG gearbox provide the driver with an adrenaline rush experience at the wheel.

Besides the standard ESP, the new car also features ABS, TCS + EBA, driver and passenger airbag, head airbag, Hill Hold Control, tyre pressure loss warning light, twin chrome headlights, fog lamps with cornering function, "easy entry" system on the passenger seat, Cupra suspension, Cupra sports seats and aluminium pedals.
