Seat Leon Cupra Evo 17 Racer Goes To Geneva

If you have been looking for a racing car than this premiere might be the best choice. Seat Leon Cupra Evo 17 Racer is about to get launched in Geneva and complete the TCR class, along with Audi's RS3 LMS and VW Golf GTI TCR.

Evo 17 is based on Leon Cupra 300 and has been created especially for the track. The new car is eligible for one of the lowest-cost touring car classes.

Bringing the same 2.0-liter turbo-four Seat engine, Evo 17 manages to take 345 hp and 310 Nm torque out of it, delivering the power to the front wheels. A self-locking electro-hydraulic differential with a manual sequential transmission or an automatic double-clutch one completes the powertrain.

The new Evo 17 has modernized brakes of up to 378 mm in the front and 272 mm in the rear. Of course, there are ABS and ESC helping maintain the control of the car.

Evo 17 will be present in Geneva next week, joined by the street-legal Cupra 300 and the new Ibiza.
