CUPRA has announced that a high-performance version of the Formentor SUV is on the way, but getting your hands on one will be far from straightforward…
The Formentor V25 will come with a 2.5-litre TSI five-cylinder engine producing 384bhp and is due to enter production early next year.
However, just 4,000 units will be produced, in a mix of left and right-hand drive, which means the number coming to the UK will be strictly limited.
The Formentor V25 will be fitted with a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission and will come in all-wheel drive, with exterior changes including g a new front bumper, front splitter and wider wheel arches to give a more aggressive stance.
Midnight Black, Dark Void, Magnetic Tech Matt, Century Bronze Matt and Enceladus Grey Matt will be the options when it comes to colours, with the car also fitted with exclusive 20” alloy wheels in copper.
“The return of the CUPRA Formentor VZ5 is a bold statement of our commitment to performance and emotion,” Sven Schuwirth, Executive Vice-President for Sales, Marketing & Aftersales at CUPRA, said.
“With its iconic five-cylinder engine, this model embodies the essence of CUPRA — daring, unconventional, and driven by passion.
“For the first time, the CUPRA Formentor VZ5 will be available in both left- and right-hand drive, opening the door to car enthusiasts in markets such as the UK.”
