Cupra Formentor VZ5 Reveal Event

The CUPRA Formentor, the first vehicle uniquely developed for brand, is now being taken beyond limits with the World Premiere of the CUPRA Formentor VZ5 on behalf of CUPRA’s 3rd anniversary.

Bringing a five-cylinder heart to the high-performance CUV, even greater dynamic ability and an even more sophisticated and exclusive experience, the CUPRA Formentor VZ5 is destined to bring an even more unique proposal to the market.

The CUPRA Formentor is already the manifesto of CUPRA’s DNA, designed and engineered to offer an iconic model that mixes innovation and an intuitive and dynamic driving experience. The Formentor VZ5 takes these attributes beyond limits.

“As we celebrate CUPRA’s 3rd anniversary the Formentor VZ5 marks the occasion by using the highly acclaimed five-cylinder petrol engine, mixing its high performance with an even more sophisticated exterior design to mark the vehicle as the maximum expression of combustion performance for car enthusiasts,” said Wayne Griffiths, President of CUPRA and SEAT.

The CUPRA Formentor VZ5’s sporty stature, rear-weighted visual emphasis and accentuated bonnet length, underscore its dynamic proportions, and beneath the sculpted form factor is the five-cylinder 2.5 litre TSI engine that delivers 390PS (287kW) and 480Nm of torque. An engine that maximises excitement behind the wheel.

It’s the perfect vehicle to help CUPRA mark its 3rd anniversary as a stand-alone brand in its own right, and continues the work, dedication and impulse to create vehicles that deliver CUPRA DNA, in vehicles that offer a diversity making them equally desirable whether you’re an enthusiast or want to drive them every day in all scenarios.

The VZ stands for Veloz in Spanish, meaning quick or fast, the perfect autograph for the most powerful versions of the CUPRA Formentor. A high-performance CUV that already takes its name from cape Formentor on the Spanish island of Mallorca, one of the most beautiful and wild areas in the Balearics.

The CUPRA Formentor VZ5, strengthens, multiplies and grows these attributes to deliver a vehicle the maximum expression of combustion performance for car enthusiasts. And exclusivity is ensured, with the vehicle’s run limited to 7,000 units.

The top of the range 390PS five-cylinder petrol engine offers the ultimate expression of the CUPRA brand’s DNA, with performance that will shatter perceptions of the brand and what it can deliver.

The iconic turbocharged five-cylinder TSI engine under its bonnet roars performance.

The unit mixes direct-injection and turbocharging to help it achieve its peak power output of 390PS (287kW) from between 5,700rpm and 7,000rpm, while peak torque of 480Nm is available from 2,250rpm. It also delivers a rhythm and unique engine sound from the quad copper exhaust pipes.

The engine is well known and loved by car enthusiasts, but cooling system has received additional attention from CUPRA. The package now includes a CUPRA Formentor-specific design to optimise performance.

The astonishing 2.5 litre engine is linked to a quick shifting seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission. The combination means the CUPRA Formentor VZ5 can reach 100km/h in just 4.2 seconds and delivers a top speed of 250km/h. Numbers that will give the driver some real goose bumps behind the wheel.
