Internet, be upstanding for the most powerful Seat road-car EVER. It"s the Leon Cupra 300, and it has an entirely predictable 300PS. In old money, that"s 296bhp a 10bhp increase over the outgoing Cupra 290. Torque is also up from 258lb ft to 280lb ft, and you get a load of active safety tech and a new infotainment system. All very good news, but the big story is that the Leon Cupra ST is now DSG and all-wheel drive only. The SC three-door and five-door hatch get either a manual or the auto plus FWD it"s only the estate that gets AWD. Prices and performance figures haven"t been released, but we"d be very surprised if they didn"t more or less mirror the mechanically similar (ahem, identical) Golf R Estate"s. That means 0-62mph in 5.1 and 155mph.
