SEAT Leon Cupra R (2003)

The SEAT Leon Cupra R (2003) reaches 60 mph in 6.39 s (100 km/h in 6.69 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.73 s, tripping the lights at 97.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.34 s and the eighth mile in 9.57 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Leon Cupra R

The 2003 SEAT Leon Cupra R (2003) is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,320 kg with 221 bhp, which works out at 168 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.34 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,726th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 9th quickest of the 192 SEATs here. Its 97.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the SEAT Leon Cupra R (2003) 0-60 time?
The SEAT Leon Cupra R (2003) reaches 60 mph in 6.39 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,726th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the SEAT Leon Cupra R (2003) quarter mile time?
14.73 s at 97.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.57 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.34 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the SEAT Leon Cupra R (2003) have?
221 bhp and 1,320 kg, which is 168 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 245 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the SEAT Leon Cupra R (2003)?
Closest here on pace: Lexus SC430 (6.41 s), Honda Integra Type R DC2 (6.32 s), Honda Civic Type-R EP3 (6.33 s). Each one can be raced against the SEAT Leon Cupra R (2003) in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The SEAT Leon Cupra R (2003) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
