New SEAT Leon
The new SEAT leon has been shown in prototype form and if the rumours are correct SEAT will use the Leon in the WTCC later this season.
Article here: http://www.seatcupra.net/leon_prototype2005_geneva.htm included an image I mocked up of a BTCC and WTCC car (larger image available in article). |

That's rather ugly, isn't it? I'm glad mine is the old shape...

its lower than the Altea, but I still think its roof will be peaking over the Astra's, MG's and Lexi on the grid, a bit like the Civic use to

Hmm, I wonder how it will go bearing in mind the alleged issues that the Civic has - they are a similar shape.
What is the wheelbase compared to the Toledo? It seems to me that either longer wheelbase saloons or the smaller coupe's are the best option for touring cars. The coupes have less drag, whilst the LWB saloons have better stability and handling, the pure hatchbacks seem to be in no mans land to me. |

According Auto hebdo SEAT Sport is developing two Leones, the first one could make its debut in 2005 and the second would be the car for 2006.
This pic looks better than other I saw time ago. |
