Press release...

JE DESIGN well-known as a SEAT tuning specialist, is now presenting the highlight of its Leon suite - a wide body with wing doors. JE DESIGN also gives the new turbo-charged petrol engine an extra boost.

The direct injection TFSI engine, which VW has recently started to fit, promises a great deal of tuning potential. By means of modification to the engine management system, JE DESIGN squeezes 180/(244) kW/(bhp) and 355 Nm from this 2 litre turbo-charged four-cylinder engine, which otherwise generates 147/(200) kW/(bhp) and 280 Nm in the Seat Leon. This power boost enables this handsome Spaniard to race along 13 km/h faster than the standard version. Even more impressive than the top speed of 242 km/h is the awesome acceleration. The 6.4 seconds it takes to sprint from 0 to 100 instead of the standard 7.3 speak for themselves! The acceleration boost comes complete with a TÜV parts certificate. Needless to say, after this power enhancement, the engine still complies with the EI regulations.

Wider body, broader grin!

The Seat Leon makes a mighty impression after JE DESIGN has fitted it out with its wide body conversion kit. JE DESIGN starts off comparatively tamely at the front with a new front grille without a badge including a grille insert. Headlight lens covers lend this Spaniard a more serious "look". However, on reaching the side-mounted body styling elements, it becomes clear that we are not dealing with just an ordinary tuning job here. This is because JE DESIGN fits the Leon with a 10-piece wheel arch extension kit, which enables the Leon to fill out any rear-view mirror that little bit more than usual. The knowledge of this effect magically compels the driver to sport a broad grin across his face when overtaking. A set of side sills go to complete the tuning on the sides.

JE DESIGN's front spoiler and the boot-lid rear spoiler produce a lift-reducing effect. The rear view is rounded off by the JE-DESIGN rear apron attachment, which can be used both with the standard-fitted rear silencer as well as the awesome-sounding 4-pipe rear silencer specially produced in stainless steel by JE DESIGN. The latter features two dual tailpipes (diameter 90 mm).

So that the broader Seat Leon can run rings around the competition, JE DESIGN equips it with a coil-over suspension, which allows the suspension to be lowered between 35 and 65 mm to suit the driver's individual taste. Without doubt a sound investment. Drivers who now order the LSD doors can boast having one of today's hottest rides.

Standard wheel rims? Absolute "No go!" for JE DESIGN! But rather its proprietary set of wheels VISAGE (2-piece rim design with titanium bolts) in the dimension 10 x 18 ET 31 with size 255/35 ZR 18 tyres. Certainly worth showing off!

Post 2014 JE Design Seat Leon Cupra 5F

Press release...

JE Design has only just presented its enhanced performance interpretation of the new Seat Leon Cupra. Now the Swabian refiner is shifting into the next gear. With its distinctive wide body kit in the style of the infamous Leon Cup Racers, JE DESIGN specialists visually emphasize the power boost for the most powerful series model Seat of all time. The designers from Leingarten offer a graphite matte complete wrapping with red contrasting elements.

Even right off the production line, the new Seat Leon Cupra gleams with its dynamic sporty design and elegant appearance. For those who think that the series looks too conservative and conformist, JE DESIGN from Leingarten now has the necessary extra dose of racing in store. With the wide body kit for the Leon 5F Cupra, available for a total of 6,188 Euro, the Spanish compact rocket is optically transformed into a real eye-catcher. A three-part bumper attachment, massive wheel arch flares front and rear, side skirts in carbon look and a rear apron with two molded diffusers make the Cupra series model into a power athlete in the style of the brutal Leon Cup Racer. The optional graphite matte complete wrapping with spoiler lip, grille frame, mirror caps, air outlet struts and wheel rims in contrasting red also enhance this impression for 3.570 Euro extra. The twin tailpipes integrated in the rear apron with the dimensions 105 x 85 millimeters provide a sporty and aggressive look.

As a special bonus on request, hiding in the air outlet of the rear wheel arch flares is the auxiliary LED turn signal lamp "Arrow" (238 Euro). Meanwhile, the LED rain light from Formula 1, licensed by the FIA, makes for pure racing feeling. The latter is available for 250 Euro, but may only be used for motorsport purposes. Delivery is therefore without certification.

Such a sporty visual appearance cries out for adequate power under the hood. For this reason, JE DESIGN also offers its already well-known performance enhancement for the Cupra wide body. By means of additional electronics (1,899 Euro), performance increases from the standard 206 kW/280 hp to 258 kW/350 hp with a maximum torque of 440 Nm (380 Nm). With it, the JE DESIGN Leon Cupra wide body completes the sprint from zero to 100 in 5.4 seconds (series model: 5.7 seconds). It tops off at a speed of 250. The enhanced performance Seat still fulfills the Euro 6 emissions standard.

Furthermore, with the KW coilover suspension DCC Plug & Play, JE DESIGN offers an optimal solution for the Cupra, already equipped from the factory with the adaptive DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control). The application, available for 2,299 Euro, brings the Spanish hotshot as much as 45 millimeters closer to the tarmac.

The JE DESIGN wheel set Y-Spoke, available in size 9.5 x 19 inches, artfully rounds off the sporty silhouette of the wide body Leon. Available tires, for example, are the Dunlop Sport Maxx GT in 255/30 R19. The price for the complete wheel set amounts to 2,052 Euro.

All prices are including VAT, excluding mounting and painting.

Aside from this overdone example, the Leon Cupra R 280 is fast as hell. It can do the Nordschleife in under 8 minutes.
