JE Design have only just released a kit for the newly facelifted Seat Leon, but hot on its heels comes this kit and tuning package for the latest Leon Cupra.
The new styling kit includes a front bumper, headlight masks and side skirts. At the rear is a large rear wing and a new bumper arrangement that includes a centre diffuser, under which sits a set of four impressive tailpipes. Attention to detail is impressive, with the front bumper including LED daytime running lights and even carbon-effect covers for the headlight washers. Finishing off the new look is a set of black 19-inch alloys that come with high performance 225/35/19 tyres that just squeeze into the wheelarches thanks to a lowered ride height.
On the inside you’ll find new Elegance leather sports seats. These can be upgraded with two-level heating, electrically adjustable lumbar support and even a massage system. The colour of the leather stitching is up to you, and if you want something a bit more unique you can have your own design stitched into the headrests.
JE Design have also worked on the standard Leon Cupra’s performance too. They’ve remapped the ECU on the 2.0 litre TFSI to push power up to a mighty 285bhp with 284lb.ft of torque. The 0-62mph sprint drops to just 5.9 seconds and top speed goes up to of 163mph. The JE Design team are so confident of their work that they’re offering a one-year warranty on the engine, extendable to two years if you wish.

Press Release
The vehicle turns into an absolute eye-catcher with the LED-daytime running lights (299 Euro) in the Dark-Line Design which are perfectly integrated into the front side blends above the fog lights.
But JE DESIGN has not only given the Leon Cupra a sporty shell. The Seat has actually also turned much more powerful. JE DESIGN increases the performance of the TSFI engine from 240 hp (177 kW) to 285 hp (210 kW). The maximum torque rises from 300 to 385 Newton metres. The optimisation of the motor management enables the Cupra to accelerate from zero to 100 kph (62 mph) in only 5.9 seconds. This is half a second faster than the serial version. Also the maximum speed reaches a new best mark: the refined Seat achieves 261 kph (162 mph). Before this modification, it only reached 247 kph (153 mph). The performance increase for 1,499 Euro is delivered with a one-year warranty for the motor, engine and drive. If desired, this warranty can be extended to two years. The matching sound is rendered by a four-pipe system of the end silencer (899 Euro). The double stainless steel pipes roar on both rear ends.
The according curve behaviour is achieved by lowering the car and equipping it with new wheels. With a coilover suspension it is possible to bring the car body 40 millimetres closer to the road. The wheel houses are filled with the Design Multispoke wheel. The 19 inch large, glossy black rims with a silver edge hold high-performance tyres in the dimension 225/35 R 19 (complete wheel set for 2,930 Euro).
As untameable and sporty the Cupra from JE DESIGN is, the interior is equipped with luxury and comfort for the driver. JE DESIGN offers the leather equipment Elegance for 1,599 Euro. The colour combination between leather- and seam can be freely chosen without any surcharge. If desired, the refiner embroiders and individual logo (79 Euro) on the front backrests. For highest travel comfort, there is also the two-level seat heating (379 Euro), the electrically adjustable lordosis-support for back-protecting travelling (319 Euro) and the massage system that works very silently with twelve programmes (429 Euro).
JE DESIGN presents the new Cupra in a version which resembles the racing model of the World Touring Car Championship WTCC. At the same time, the drivers sits in a comfortable cock-pit which is lavishly lined with leather- and luxury equipment.
