STORY

The Leon Cupra is the performance flagship of the Leon range, using the EA888 2.0 TSI turbo shared with the VW Golf GTI and R. The 5F generation escalated from 265 PS to 300 PS, with a 4Drive all-wheel-drive ST estate joining the front-drive hatch. The Leon ST Cupra 280 estate lapped the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7:58.12 in 2015, a lap record for production estates at the time.
