CUPRA León VZ TCR: the most fearsome and sporty León ever seen

The world of touring car racing welcomes the new CUPRA León VZ TCR, a version of the incredible model of the León designed to get the most out of it on track. After receiving a series of technical and aesthetic improvements, CUPRA reaffirms its commitment to competitiveness and to supporting customer teams in various TCR competitions around the world. Now, customers can turn their CUPRA León Competición into a VZ with a transformation kit.

The CUPRA León VZ TCR features a new body with aerodynamic lines and an aggressive look that perfectly matches its competition spirit. This model is not only attractive to the eye, but also incorporates a reconfigured front axle, optimised to improve agility and stability on track. This update allows drivers to tackle corners with greater precision and confidence, making a crucial difference in performance during races.

One of the most notable aspects of the new CUPRA León VZ TCR is the introduction of advanced options for the gearbox. Customers can choose between a SADEV gearbox with a hydraulic shift system and CUPRA-specific ratios, or an improved HEWLAND unit offering new gear ratios.

Suspension and braking system

The front suspension of the CUPRA León VZ TCR has been completely redesigned to deliver a more agile and effective response. Customers can opt for ÖHLINS dampers, which allow a personalised setup to maximise the vehicle’s performance according to track conditions and the driver’s preferences. In addition, the braking system has been improved with a new pedal box, offering an immediate response and greater control, essential factors for precise and safe driving.

Technological and ergonomic interior

The interior of the CUPRA León VZ TCR has also received special attention. The introduction of a larger 7-inch screen gives the driver a clear and detailed display of all relevant information during the race. The new steering wheel, designed for more intuitive use, improves ergonomics and control, facilitating a more direct connection between driver and vehicle. These cabin advances ensure drivers can concentrate fully on driving, with all the necessary tools within reach.

CUPRA does not forget its customers

As we have already mentioned, CUPRA also focuses on the constant support of customer teams that compete with its cars. With the launch of the new CUPRA León VZ TCR, the brand offers an upgrade kit for owners of the CUPRA León Competición. This kit includes the new body, the improved front axle configuration, the Hewland gearbox upgrade kit and the TCR TF homologation seal, allowing customers to keep their vehicles up to date with a simple transformation kit.

The CUPRA León VZ TCR has already proven its worth in competitions such as TCR South America and TCR Europe, where it has achieved its first victories, as well as in championships such as TCR Spain, TCR Italy and TCR Denmark.
