  • JE Design Seat Leon Cupra – 350HP and 440Nm

    JE Design has unveiled their latest project based on the “King of the Ring” – Seat Leon Cupra 280. The ultra-hot hatchback comes with a number of styling upgrades and a significant power increase.

    The 2.0 liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine is boosted to 350HP (258 kW) and 440Nm (324 lb-ft) of torque – an increase of 70HP and 60Nm. 0-100 km/h in 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) – electronically limited. The result is thanks to only an ECU re-map and the car still fulfills the EURO 6 emissions standard. The price is €1,899.

    Other performance upgrades include KW coilover suspension DCC Plug & Play – €2,299. The ride height can be adjusted according to driver’s needs, but not lower than 45 mm. Alternatively, lowering springs for original shock absorbers are offered. They provide approximately 35 mm of additional depth, and are also suitable for DCC – €236.

    JE Design also offers a full sports exhaust system featuring twin tailpipes – each with diameter of 80 mm. The system, which comes with EC approval, costs €2,023. Those who choose real carbon tail pipes will pay €2,392.

    Aerodynamics package features a new front spoiler – €417 and side skirts in carbon look – €357. Last, but not least is the set of Y-Spoke JE Design wheels – 8.5J x 19” ET 45 fitted with 235/35 R19 performance tires – €1,851.

    JE Design has announced their latest project based on the 2013 Seat Leon SC. The hot hatchback gets styling and performance upgrades as well.

    The 2.0 liter TDI is boosted to 210HP (154 kW) and 430Nm (317 lb-ft) of torque – an increase of 26HP and 50Nm. 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds and a top speed of 228 km/h (142 mph). The entire performance boost from JE Design is available for €1,990.

    The tuning company also offers an aerodynamics package in carbon look for €1,035. The front spoiler is €417, the side skirts €357 and the rear skirt insert is €298.

    Two stainless steel tailpipes on both sides emphasize the sporty appearance. The tailpipes each have a diameter of 80 mm. The complete stainless steel muffler is €899 and has an EC approval.

    Other goodies are a set of lowering springs for €237 (-30 mm); KW coilover suspension for €1,049 (from -35mm to -65mm) and adjustable rebound and compression-damping KW coilover suspension Variant 3 for €1,749.

    JE Design developed “Scorpio” type light alloy wheels specifically for the Seat Leon. They fill the wheel arches in the dimension 7.5J x 18” and a matt black finish with matt silver front. Especially for the FR-TDI, JE DESIGN has wrapped the wheels with high-performance tires in size 225/40. The complete set is sold from €839.

    There are also MULTISPOKE rims available in shadow silver, either in 7.5J x 18” (€839) or 8J x 19” with 225/35 R 19 tires (€999).

  • JE DESIGN Seat Leon FR hits Essen Motorshow 2009

    For JE DESIGN specialists even the FR (Formula Racing) model of Seat Leon is not enough powerful. Their newly developed sports ride will make its debut at the Essen Motorshow exhibition 2009. (more…)

    Seat turned the Leon a bit sportier by giving him a new facelift. Modest design adjustments give the brawny Spaniard a more dynamic appearance. (more…)

  • Je Design Seat Leon 1 P FR

    After JE DESIGN, a well-known SEAT customising specialist, tuned the new Leon two months prior to its market launch, the same tuning specialist from Leingarten, Germany, has now turned its attention to the “FR” version.

    The core of the modifications is the power boost to the 2.0 TDI engine. Instead of 125 kW (170 bhp), it now generates a solid 142 kW (193 bhp) with a torque increase from 85 to 410 Nm. The modifications to the engine management system permit better driving performance: A top speed of 224 km/h (series: 218 km/h) and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds (series: 8.2) send out a clear message! The power boost comes with a TÜV parts certificate. Needless to say, the TDI still complies with the EI regulations. An electronic power boost for the new 2.0 TFSI with 147 KW / 200 bhp leads to a terrific 180 kW (244 bhp) with a torque boost up to 355 Nm at 1,850 rpm. Here, too, the modifications to the engine management system permit enhanced driving performance: A top speed of 235 km/h (series: 229 km/h) and acceleration from 0 to 100 in 6.5 seconds (series: 7.3)! This power boost also comes with a TÜV parts certificate. In each case, the price includes a 1-year guarantee on the engine, drive train and gearbox. Upon request and subject to an extra charge, this can be extended by a further 12 months. A power boost for the new Leon CUPRA 2.0 TFSI with 176 KW / 240 bhp is in the pipeline. (more…)
