The SEAT Leon Cupra is that better-looking VW Golf R with so much power that it could almost make a purist forget about its FWD-ness. But is it good enough to go up against a BMW M235i in a drag race?

There isn't as much ridiculousness from the wheels as you might expect with 280-something horsepower in a front-drive hatch. But imagine what would happen if you gave the SEAT all-wheel drive and oh wait, that's basically what's at your VW dealership.

In any case, enjoy the sounds.
