One of Seat’s latest models comes with a "brutally powerful" engine, it has been claimed.

According to the manufacturer, the new Leon Cupra R offers the same output as the version of the vehicle that won the TDI World Touring Car Championship.

The latest addition to the company’s line up features a 265 PS 2.0 TSI turbocharged petrol engine and the firm said the unit provides "remarkable flexibility" and "easy torque transmission".

People who eventually end up purchasing the motor will find it can hit 62 mph in 6.1 seconds before powering on to a maximum speed of 155 mph.

However, Seat pointed out the car is also capable of almost 35 mpg.

The model is due to be unveiled at the Frankfurt International Motor Show on September 17th.

In other news, the manufacturer recently reported it was launching an edgy advertising campaign for the Altea, highlighting the fact life can still be fun after starting a family.
