JE DESIGN has developed a new tuning kit for a car that was already special when it left the factory, the SEAT Leon Cupra R.

The stock Cupra R is powered by a 2.0 liter turbocharged petrol engine that develops 261 HP at 6,000 rpm and 350 Nm of torque between 2,500 and 5,000 rpm. JE DESIGN has worked its magic on the powerplant, managing to squeeze 330 hp and 420 Nm of torque out of it. The tuner has not released any performance specs, but we expect a hefty increase, especially in term of acceleration figures.

The car’s handling has also been improved, as the tuner has equipped the vehicle with a lowered suspension.

The tuned vehicle uses a complete body kit. The front of the car features a redesigned bumper that comes with multiple air inlets, makes extensive use of mesh grille and incorporates a set of daytime running lights. The headlights now use a set of eyelids and the front grille has been replaced with a blackened out one.

Moving to the side of the vehicle, we find a set of new side skirt that use a bold design and new multi-spoke rims. The hatch also features racing decals, showing the tuner’s logo. At the rear of the Leon, the tuning house has fitted a new bumper, which houses a quadruple exhaust and a massive spoiler.

The car uses a bi-color paint scheme: the body is dressed in a metallic dark Grey paint, while the front bumper lip, front grille contour, rims, side mirrors, side decals, lateral parts of the rear spoiler and an ornament of the rear bumper use a bright red finish.

The interior of the JE DESIGN Leon Cupra R has also been upgraded, as the tuner offers a full leather finish.
