SEAT Leon Cupra

The SEAT Leon Cupra reaches 60 mph in 5.82 s (100 km/h in 6.14 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.36 s, tripping the lights at 97.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.28 s and the eighth mile in 9.28 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

The 2006 SEAT Leon Cupra is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,420 kg with 237 bhp, which works out at 167 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.28 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 3,051st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 6th quickest of the 192 SEATs here. Its 97.5 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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the SEAT Leon Cupra 0-60 time?
The SEAT Leon Cupra reaches 60 mph in 5.82 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,051st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the SEAT Leon Cupra quarter mile time?
14.36 s at 97.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.28 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.28 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the SEAT Leon Cupra have?
237 bhp and 1,420 kg, which is 167 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 247 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the SEAT Leon Cupra?
Closest here on pace: Ford Focus ST (2012) (5.84 s), Ford Focus RS (2003) (5.87 s), Peugeot 208 GTI 200 PS (5.80 s). Each one can be raced against the SEAT Leon Cupra 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 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.
