SEAT is giving its most potent road-going model - the muscular Leon Cupra - the option of an even more sporty look courtesy of a dramatic limited edition styling kit version called the K1.

The impressive additions to the Leon's already lithe lines give the 240 horsepower, turbocharged, 2.0-litre Cupra even more of the look of the race-winning SEAT Sport BTCC car, which is set to compete for top honours again this year.

Boasting a bespoke boot badge, the limited edition car's comprehensive styling additions include extensively re-worked front and rear bumpers, smart side skirts, a more pronounced tailgate spoiler and unique chrome-tipped, centrally-mounted, oval exhaust.

The best news for Cupra fans, though, is that the standard car's price has been trimmed, from £19,695 to £19,495. The body-kitted special edition costs £20,495.
