Rovinata proprio

era esposta anche la Leon nel show room provvisorio di 1 Bd. De la Madeleine à Parigi… (cf il mio messaggio nel thread del Formentor)

 

 questa la mi parere migliorata perché lanterne della Leon mi era sempre sembrato un po’ scialbo…

 

il bianco secondo me non le dona…

CUPRA introduces Tribe Editions: rebellious character meets sustainable innovation

• Exclusive editions of the CUPRA Formentor, Leon, Leon Sportstourer, and Terramar, feature a new individualisation concept for bold customers who value striking design and forward-thinking sustainability
• New interior design concepts include 3D knitting technology to minimise waste and boost circular economy
• Bio-based paint for elements including air vents and the dashboard improves the environmental characteristics
• New Manganese Matt exterior paint finish adds exclusivity to the line-up

CUPRA introduces “Tribe Editions” of the Formentor, Leon, Leon Sportstourer and Terramar, blending rebellious character with sustainable innovation. The exclusive editions feature a new individualisation concept for customers with a bold outlook, who value striking design and demand contemporary sustainability with a twist.

 

The Tribe Editions introduce a new exterior colour – Manganese Matt – as well as unique interior design concepts such as 3D knitting technology for the bucket seats, bio-based paint for certain elements such as air vents and dashboard, and new alloy wheels incorporating 20% recycled material.

"CUPRA constantly strives to deliver vehicles that touch the soul of its Tribe, mixing their desire for individuality with a growing eagerness for sustainable solutions," says Ignasi Prieto, Chief Brand Officer at CUPRA. "The exclusive CUPRA Tribe Editions bring differentiation and environmental balance to both exterior and interior across many of the brand’s vehicles, incorporating new technologies that inspire a fresh way of thinking."

 

The exterior designs of the new CUPRA Formentor, Leon, Leon Sportstourer, and Terramar Tribe Editions are elevated by a striking colour palette: Magnetic Tech Matt (exclusive to Leon and Formentor), Midnight Black, and the new Manganese Matt (available for all Tribe Editions models).

Dark chrome CUPRA logos at the front and rear, along with rear lettering, enrich the look and add depth to the character of each vehicle.

New alloy wheel designs with a new Sulphur Green colour set the Tribe Editions apart: a unique 19” design for the Leon, another 19” for the Formentor, and a distinct 20” option for the Terramar. Each alloy rim incorporates 20% recycled material, combining style with the company’s circular material strategy.

 

CUPRA has always pushed to incorporate innovation and sustainability into its vehicles, and the Tribe Editions extend this into a new era. Combined with recycled materials used in the vehicles’ bumpers – the spoiler front bumper contains 20% recycled plastic material -, this represents a more balanced approach to mobility.

Circular materials and innovative production processes are also key to the interior design. For instance, a new Sulphur Green paint by Manckiewicz - formulated with 15% bio-based material – is featured on the console trim and inner frame air diffusers. Furthering its sustainable approach, the CUPRA Tribe Editions integrate 30% recycled materials in interior trim plastics.

 

The Tribe Editions push boundaries further with the introduction of additive manufacturing, with 3D knitted technology used in the bucket seat design. The fabrics in the central area of the front and rear seats are made with 100% recycled material and with a technique that uses a computer-controlled knitting machine to create material in its three-dimensional form eliminating the need for cutting and sewing, resulting in zero material waste.

Available across all powertrain options, the new Tribe Editions for the CUPRA Formentor, Leon, Leon Sportstourer, and Terramar will begin production in the final quarter of the year.

CUPRA Leon VZ TCR

Comunicato stampa

From the racetrack to the road: The new CUPRA Leon VZ TCR and CUPRA Leon VZ bring racing spirit to the street

• Born from CUPRA’s global racing success, the new CUPRA Leon VZ TCR brings authentic racing spirit to the street

• The CUPRA Leon VZ TCR is the most powerful front-wheel-drive Leon ever, delivering 325PS (239kW) and 420Nm of torque, with an unrestricted top speed capability

• It features a distinctive racing-inspired design with exclusive aerodynamic enhancements, 245mm performance tyres, 4-strap harnesses, and removable rear seats

• Limited to only 499 units, the CUPRA Leon VZ TCR pays tribute to every racing Leon ever built

• The same high-performance 325PS (239kW) engine will make its debut in the CUPRA Leon VZ early next year, a limited-edition model that brings this racing power to the street before the arrival of the VZ TCR

CUPRA once again pushes the boundaries of performance and design with the reveal of the most powerful front-wheel-drive Leon: the new CUPRA Leon VZ TCR.

A bold reinterpretation of the brand’s most dynamic hatchback, paying tribute to the CUPRA Leon VZ TCR race car that competes and wins in championships around the world.

"The CUPRA Leon VZ TCR is a bold expression of what happens when racing meets road-going precision,” said Dr. Werner Tietz VP of R&D at CUPRA. “Born from the track and crafted for the street, this limited edition captures CUPRA’s drive for performance, individuality, and the thrill of pushing limits.”

Pure Racing DNA: the CUPRA Leon VZ TCR

At its heart lies a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivering 325PS (239kW) and 420Nm of torque – making it the most powerful front-wheel drive Leon ever produced. Linked to a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission to translate the power to the wheels, while an integrated electronically controlled front differential lock (VAQ) helps offer greater control over the vehicle’s power delivery.

Acceleration is quick, reaching 100km/h in just 5.6 seconds, while its unrestricted top-speed capability allows drivers to experience its full potential.

The chassis has been fine-tuned for racing precision, featuring Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC) for millisecond-level response and fully configurable driver profiles. Akebono brakes with 6-piston calipers provide exceptional stopping power, complemented by progressive steering for maximum agility.

A visceral soundtrack emerges from the quad copper exhaust pipes, reinforcing its unmistakable character.

Inspired by the racetrack

This season, the CUPRA Leon VZ TCR has already claimed championship titles in TCR Europe, TCR UK, TCR Mexico, and TCR France, underlining its outstanding performance, reliability, and engineering excellence. It also made headlines by winning its first-ever race in China at Zhuzhou, and by taking victories in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge at Indianapolis and Road Atlanta in the United States.

These achievements highlight CUPRA’s ability to compete — and win — across continents, proving once again that performance and passion are at the very core of the brand’s DNA.

Track-inspired Design and Engineering

The Special Edition CUPRA Leon VZ TCR isn’t just inspired by racing — it’s born from it. Built on CUPRA Racing’s proven success, where the brand’s Leon VZ TCR continues to dominate touring car championships around the world in 2025.

The CUPRA Leon VZ TCR transforms the Leon into a track-inspired machine.

With removable rear seats, a strut bar and integrated net, the CUPRA Leon VZ TCR transforms the high-performance car into a focused driving environment, shedding weight and sharpening response. Exclusive lightweight alloy wheels, designed specifically for this model, enhance performance and visual impact. Wider 245mm performance tyres grip the tarmac, while 4-strap harness seat belts for the front CUPBucket seats, and a laser-engraved serial number etched into the door panel underscore its exclusivity and track-ready intent.

The CUPRA Leon VZ TCR includes exclusive exterior design such as distinctive roof spoiler, front and rear splitter, side skirt, diffuser as well as aerodynamic parts. A dark chrome CUPRA logo on the bonnet reinforces the car’s bold character. The exterior is completed with black carbon fibre side mirror covers and the subtle VZ TCR logo into the rear.

In motorsport, every car carries a livery, a visual identity that embodies its spirit and purpose. For this CUPRA Leon VZ TCR special edition, limited to only 499 units, the brand has taken that idea and reinterpreted it in CUPRA’s own, progressive way. This refined graphic runs along the side of the car, like a dynamic brushstroke. It carries the CUPRA logo in an expressive, stylized form, a visual echo of movement and speed.

Limited to only 499 units, the CUPRA Leon VZ TCR is a tribute to CUPRA’s racing legacy. Each car represents one of the 499 Leon competition models built over the years, celebrating a story of performance, passion, and success.

The CUPRA Leon VZ TCR is designed, developed and will be produced in Barcelona, at the brand’s headquarters in Martorell. It will be launched at the end of 2026.

A preview of power: the CUPRA Leon VZ

Before the arrival of the CUPRA Leon VZ TCR; CUPRA will introduce the CUPRA Leon VZ, the first step in this era of front-wheel-drive performance. Sharing the same 325PS (239kW) and 420Nm engine, the Leon VZ translates CUPRA Racing’s DNA into a car designed for everyday thrill.

With refined design elements, including exclusive copper quad exhausts, the CUPRA Leon VZ offers drivers an early taste of the ultimate CUPRA experience.

Limited to 1,500 units, it will be launched in the first quarter of 2026, giving the CUPRA Tribe the chance to feel the power and precision of the brand’s racing spirit – ahead of the arrival of the VZ TCR.
