Seat Leon Cupra R sells out in UK

The entire UK allocation – all 24 examples – of the hardcore Seat Leon Cupra R have been sold, ahead of first deliveries later in January.

The ultra-exclusive hot hatchback is limited to just 799 models worldwide, of which 24 will make their way to the UK. All are fitted with the 306bhp version of Seat's 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive.
