Clear Interior of the Very Best Quality
The emotional power of the exterior design is also apparent from the interior of
the Ibiza Cupra Concept and in the clean, minimalist and clearly structured
cockpit. The exceptional feeling of quality and precision craftsmanship serves
to underscore Seat's incredibly high standards. The new sports steering wheel
with the Cupra logo and the shift paddles for the DSG transmission, the
dedicated instruments and the leather sports Seats with their lateral flashes of
yellow to match the Cupra exterior are all clear indications of the special role
held by the top version of the Ibiza range.
The entertainment system in the Ibiza Cupra Concept is completely new - and the
powerful audio set-up can be complemented by the innovative Seat Portable
System. The highly affordable solution with a 5-inch screen is removable for
mobile use and yet perfectly integrated into the vehicle's electronics. Its many
functions include a navigation system, hands-free phone system with voice
control and an on-board computer. At a later point, the Seat Portable System
will be available as an option for the entire Ibiza family.
With the Ibiza Cupra Concept, driving enjoyment and cutting-edge engineering are
guaranteed.
Dynamic Icon of the Seat Brand
The first generation of the Ibiza Cupra took to the streets in 1996, since when
the dynamic Cupra lineage has developed to become an icon of the Seat brand. The
Ibiza Cupra Concept shows how the next chapter of this success story will be
written - the state-of-the-art 1.4 TSI engine is not only powerful but is also
muscular, producing a maximum torque of 184 lb-ft (250 Nm). For a race car-style
driving experience, the seven-speed DSG transmission with its extremely short
shift times can also be operated via paddles behind the steering wheel.
'Immediate and linear acceleration, with agile handling, good traction and
responsive brakes are the key ingredients for what the Cupra name represents,'
says Dr. Matthias Rabe, Vice President for Research and Development at Seat S.A.
'The new Ibiza Cupra Concept is a perfect example of how we at Seat are adapting
the latest Volkswagen Group technology to create a unique and highly rewarding
package.'
