Cupra: Formentor VZ5 in action at the DTM
AT THE START TOGETHER The sporty Seat subsidiary Cupra will provide the Safety Car, the Leading Car, the Medical Car and two Race Control vehicles at the DTM. The Spanish company is the Official Car Partner of the popular series.
A special version of the Cupra Formentor VZ5 with an upgrade from Abt Sportsline GmbH is used for this purpose. As a result, these vehicles produce 450 hp, while maximum torque increases by 50 Nm to 530 Nm. Thus, the Spaniard accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 270 km/h.
Racing is part of the Cupra DNA
Seat Germany Managing Director Bernhard Bauer: "We are enormously proud that with our brand, which is only four years young, we are able to take on such an important role as Official Car Partner of the DTM. Racing is part of the Cupra DNA. The fact that we are now responsible for safety at the track in the DTM and are allowed to drive in front at least once in a while is a great thing and raises the profile of Cupra."
The Cupras cars will be in action from the end of April to the beginning of October in Belgium, Germany, Italy, Austria and Portugal at all 16 DTM races as well as the 14 DTM Trophy races. The races are broadcast on ProSieben.
