Previously the Seat Leon Cupra 280 was the fastest front-wheel drive production car at the Nordschleife. Now Seat presents the most powerful Cupra of all time: the Seat Leon Cupra 290. The 290 features an additional ten horsepower and a torque of 350nm, which can be accessed across almost the entire speed range. The 280’s lap record was just waiting to be overtaken. We took the 290 for a test ride in the mountains around Barcelona to see just how all that power would feel to drive.
