• Photo gallery: This is the Cupra Ateca Limited Edition

The era of the 'tuning' is very far, synonymous with the personalization of a vehicle through different modifications of the mechanics, exterior changes of the body and interiors of the vehicle. Now it is the brand itself that decides these changes as Cupra has done with its Ateca manufacturing 1,999 units called Limited Edition.

And for that, nothing like presenting your Cupra Ateca Limited Edition in part of a timed section, that of Scaladei, which in 2014 was the star of the 50th RACC-Rally Rally tour in Spain with a total length of 50 km timed.

Its body features the exclusive Graphene Gray paint, only available in this special edition, with the inscription 'CUPRA' on the tailgate in color 'Copper', a tone that is repeated in the different decorative elements of the model. Both the roof spoiler and the mirror housings are made of carbon fiber and incorporate details in that color.

This version also has new and exclusive alloy wheels in black and copper of 51 cm (20 inches), with a larger hub that expands the track width and houses a braking set signed by Brembo with front discs 460 mm

Inside, bucket-type front seats have been placed, with upholstery in Alcantara fabric of Petrol Blue color, material and tone also present in the rear seats and in the door panels. The dashboard and controls of the air conditioning system are framed by carbon fiber moldings with details in Copper tone.

The Cupra Ateca Limited Edition has the same supercharged TSI petrol engine, four cylinders and 1,984 cc, which means 300 hp and an impressive maximum torque of 400 Nm, enough to stop the chrono of 0-100 km / h in just 4.9 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 247 km / h.

Associated with the seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic gearbox and 4Drive all-wheel drive, they make the dynamic behavior of the Cupra Ateca Limited Edition shine, even if it doesn't leave the same flavor in the 'pilot' that a World Rally Car would do as the VW Polo R WRC that driven by the Finn Jari-Matti Latvala stopped the clock in 29m 14.4s to cover those 50 kilometers.

This special version can be optionally incorporated with an exhaust system of the Akrapovic firm made of titanium, which provides a guttural and exclusive sound, and also reduces the total weight of the vehicle by about 7 kg. Only 50 of the 350 units destined for the Spanish market will be fortunate to be able to count on it, which in our humble opinion should be standard throughout the production, but which is impossible given the low operational capacity of the Slovenian manufacturer.

Nothing is known yet of its price, which will undoubtedly be as competitive as the 'normal' Ateca Cupra with respect to its competition and should be, above or below, around 60,000 euros. Cupra is living in 2019 a dream year with a 75% increase in sales from January to September, with a total of more than 18,700 units sold since its launch last year.

2020 will also be a great year for the sports brand of Seat , as it will present its Cupra Formentor 245 hp plug-in hybrid model, as well as the Cupra León and Cupra León Sportourer ST , as well as its own building in Martorell of 2,400 square meters.
