While there have been cupra models with ABT badges in the recent past, the most memorably in the Old Leon Cupra R car – They have only existed to denote power kits. A tingling of the Venerable 2.0 -liter turbo to remove the power of 300 HP and closer to 400 HP, but nothing more than that. What always made them quite interesting as relatively subtle and very fast cars.
Now the influence abt will be further extended, with an “exclusive treatment to intensify its design.” The German company already directs the formula E and the extreme cars together with the Sports Spaniards, so consider this movement a little fairy dust of motor racing sprayed in the range of road cars, for the age of EV.
Interestingly, however, the ABT line of Cupras will begin next year with an orthopedic car with combustion: The lion and the Formentor. Both have been shown in an event that celebrates collaboration between the two brands, providing exactly which buyers from around the world will be offered in 2026.
Certainly, they are more open than any previous Tickled ABT cup, with a body kit for Leon and Formentor that includes a front divisor, rear wing, side skirts and diffusers. The wheel design is also new and available up to 21 inches in the SUV. However, according to the standards of an abt review, the cupras are reasonably restricted, and mostly complementary, rear aerodynamic flics can be a bit too much.
Nothing is still known about any power blow for any car, although given what the ratio previously conjured, and the fact that the engine is still in service would be a surprise if the cupra -abt Leon and Formentor are not more powerful than the stock. Especially when they look like this.
“Cupra and Abt have enjoyed an intensive and trustworthy association for many years, which is now taking a new level with this cooperation,” said Hans-Jürgen ABT, CEO of Firn. “We are pleased to present a personalized special edition of the Formentor and Leon coupra that carries the ABT denomination.” With luck, more will continue in time, since the current alignment of Cupra is quite good, but it could certainly be a bit more memorable. And given the popularity of the brand in the United Kingdom, wait for the new coupras to be sold here. On the other hand, if all this seems a bit Ott, there is one of those old lions in the classified, Complete with 350 hp – It’s yours for £ 30k.
