0.1 -> Not everyone in the comment section likes us doing a burnout, but it's party time.
6.735 -> It's party time. Seat Cupra, the more sporty models, has been around for 20 years.
13.03 -> According to Spanish tradition we have to do burnouts.
34.47 -> Seat celebrates with a Cupra 290 this year, but it's not the Leon with which the Cupra label began.
43.935 -> It started with this car, a kit car. It has been raced, which you can see.
49.675 -> This one got a road version, which is the Ibiza Cupra.
55.86 -> Just like the kit car it has a 2-liter engine. The kit car has 247 hp, the Ibiza Cupra is a bit more tame.
64.61 -> However, it was still fun back then. 148 hp. A Cupra R followed with 178 hp.
71.94 -> I thought it was fun, but then I kept reading and saw only 200 were built.
77.11 -> The Cupra label has always been present. Over there, for example.
84 -> It is the most special one. This is the Seat Leon Cupra 4. AWD, which the other Cupras don't have.
93.14 -> It also has a V6, so it's like a Golf R32 avant la lettre.
100.965 -> It has 201 hp, which isn't a whole lot. It is a pretty car in white, though.
107.475 -> I think we get to drive it later.
111.785 -> But I don't think this is the fastest Cupra present, neither of this generation.
117.38 -> Behind me... Let me check my cheat sheet because there are a lot of numbers.
127.9 -> The Cupra R with a 1.8 turbo engine, the one we know from the Golf GTI, Audi A3 / A4 / TT / S3...
138.815 -> This is the Audi S3 engine with 207 hp. A version with 222 hp followed.
145.065 -> That's nice. Still, I think this Leon Cupra... Look at it. It's still a pretty car.
154.46 -> It still looks fresh.
157.095 -> Don't you think? The brake discs are rusty, though.
161.22 -> Apparently it hasn't been driven enough. This is still a nice car.
166.105 -> The other Leons followed, a new generation Leon which were more MPV-like.
172.635 -> They're all the way back here, in race trim. These are still fun cars as well.
179.18 -> As a Cupra it has 237 hp, the Cupra R has 261 hp. The Netherlands got a version with 306 hp.
192.46 -> Maybe not really, but they're true rockets.
202.6 -> 20 years of Cupra is celebrated with 10 hp extra; 10 prancing horses to make this Leon Cupra go faster.
214.54 -> We didn't have any complaints about the speed potential of the Leon Cupra.
218.795 -> The previous one was called 265 or 280 with as much PS.
224.175 -> This version has 10 hp extra. Does this make it go faster?
229.175 -> I think I could feel it. The car accelerates more aggressively.
240.095 -> It's very fast. This is an entertaining package. It has a potent engine from the S3 and Golf R.
251.185 -> It's the same engine family, the EA888. It's a 2-liter engine with a special coating
257.39 -> and nice turbo technology. It has 286 hp and 350 Nm (258 lb ft) torque,
262.865 -> which means that the 3-door Leon Cupra with DSG does 0-100 kph (62 mph) in 5.7 seconds.
269.81 -> This, with FWD only. That's very quick. This is a very potent car.
278.5 -> You can do great burnouts with it.
292.055 -> Why does it do burnouts well? That's the key question. We're being serious again.
299.345 -> If you followed the news about the Golf GTI Performance and Focus RS,
308.26 -> they have an electronically controlled differential lock.
312.085 -> It is a plate-style differential. 100% of the power can be transferred to only one wheel.
319.225 -> It can be locked completely as well, so 50-50; both sides get full power.
325.83 -> You notice this with a lot of things. Accelerating out of a corner is the most fun.
332.19 -> After you did five burnouts and you want to be more serious, exiting a corner...
340.54 -> You can hit the throttle much sooner. Just one warning:
345.185 -> what happens in case of wheelspin? When you enter the corner and go full throttle,
352.795 -> you get wheelspin on two wheels at the same time.
356.44 -> It's no fatal understeer, because you can still play with it. It's fun.
365.545 -> When accelerating early, you feel it pull and the front slides out. I think it's fun.
374.54 -> That happens when you hoon it badly.
381.335 -> We're good at that.
389.76 -> The fun thing with the Leon Cupra, like all Seat Cupras, is that the powertrain feels sturdy.
401.475 -> The suspension may be too hard; it's all rigid and firm.
408.14 -> But it makes you feel like you can do burnouts regularly.
413.21 -> Without joking, it feels like a car which you can hoon every day and it won't break.
423.57 -> So yeah, I think it's a successful party. 20 years Cupra started with the V6.
429.3 -> A nice car. I think it still looks fresh. They continue in this fashion.
435.825 -> No monkeying around with not enough hp and lesser technology.
440.945 -> Congratulations. Shall we do another burnout? Just one.
454.975 -> Made possible by nieuweautokopen.nl
459.1 -> Subtitles - Maru's Text Support
