Seat offers Ultimate Sub8 Performance Pack for its Leon SC CUPRA 280
09 Feb 2015|2,870 views
Seat is all set to stir up the hot hatch brigade once again with the launch of a new 'Ultimate Sub8 Performance Pack'. Mirroring the exact specification of its creation, which became the first front-wheel drive production car to dip under the magic eight minute Nurburgring Nordschleife lap time, the pack is set to cost £4,200 (S$8,656)
A Leon SC CUPRA 280 fitted with the Ultimate Sub8 Performance Pack is no impractical trackday toy. It's got rear seats and a radio and will be able to make a simple trundle to the shops, an occasion and not a chore, and garner plenty of attention along the way. Plus, given the fact that each car will be built to order, its exclusivity is assured.
Courtesy of some weight reduction trickery, the comprehensive pack swaps climate control for a simpler heating system, while even four of the CUPRA's usual eight speakers have been ditched in the dieting process. The weight loss programme has also seen the Leon CUPRA 280 slim down through the loss of the centre console armrest and rear air vents, while even the storage boxes under the front seat have been binned.
The rest of the pack is as per the standard Sub8 Performance Pack, which means lightweight multi-spoke 19-inch alloys in black or orange, 30mm larger brakes with Brembo callipers and body coloured side skirts. Semi slick Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres can be optioned at a cost too.
Keeping it extremely simple for customers, there's the usual choice of six-speed manual or slick shifting DSG transmission, but, in keeping with its stripped back approach, no options.
As well as a supreme driving experience, it also retains another CUPRA hallmark, its high end equipment features. Among them are DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control) and CUPRA Drive Profile, providing the choice of Normal, Sport, CUPRA and Individual settings, to adjust the suspension, throttle sensitivity, gearbox and engine note, according to the whim of the driver’s mood. There's also cruise control, rear parking sensors, touchscreen satellite navigation and tyre pressure monitor.
