The new Seat Ibiza Cupra which is due out in the UK in September 2009 is the fastest and probably most powerful addition to the Ibiza range. It features a 1.4 litre super and turbo charged engine that delivers 177 bhp and is capable of going from 0-62mph in just 7.2 seconds. With a top speed of 140 mph, this new Seat offering uses 44mpg while only emitting an environmentally friendly 148g/km of CO2. It also has a 7-speed DSG paddleshift gearbox installed as standard, which is unique to hatchbacks on the market.

The interior includes sporty seats that tend to mould themselves around the driver as well as a snazzy sat-nav dock so all those messy wires can be avoided. The car handles very well due to the sport suspension and it features a newly designed bumper which has air intake valves incorporated.

The Seat Ibiza Cupra will hit the UK market with a £15,995 price tag.
