It seems that it was yesterday when Cupra was born as an independent firm of Seat, a new legend traveled its first kilometers. Three years later, the most performance, sophisticated and irreverent brand in Martorell launches the Cupra Formentor VZ5 . The promises are to be fulfilled and the division had to maintain the thug spirit that characterizes the racing division so much. With a 2.5 TSI five-cylinder engine , this SUV coupe is capable of delivering 390 hp and 480 Nm of torque to sign a 0 to 100 km / h in just 4.2 seconds . If your heart has started to beat faster than you should be careful, only 7,000 units will be put on sale .
For now we cannot talk about prices, something that the firm has wanted to leave in the air in order to generate even more expectation. We can not deny the greatest, there was a desire for this version. Rumors were circulating and some camouflaged units were even photographed on the legendary Nürburgring circuit, where the most sporty variants of the manufacturers are put to the test. Upon becoming independent from Seat, Cupra promised to maintain its essence and continue creating performance models . Some of us began to distrust the launch of the Cupra Ateca as its first model, something that happened to us as soon as we could drive it and verify that the bourgeoisie had not taken possession of it.
The Cupra Formentor has, since last week, an access version of 150 CV. You can also get the most “common” 310 hp CUV , called VZ. If new technologies and sustainability are your thing, you can always opt for the e-hybrid variant with 204 hp and 350 Nm of maximum torque. However, today we are dealing with the king of the crown: the Cupra Formentor VZ5. You will recognize it by the Taiga Gray launch tone but it shows off more than one specific element that we have come to tell you about, starting with some spectacular CUPBucket seats that have taken our breath away . We had little time left to imagine ourselves sitting in them, pressing the satellite button on the steering wheel and shooting off to complete a heart attack ‘launch control’. For now, we have to settle for seeing it in pictures.
