Faster to 100 km/h than a 911 Carrera S or GTS
The Cupra Formentor will have access to a five-cylinder from Audi that delivers no less than 450 hp. It is not completely original, because for the extra fierce drivetrain you have to visit the German tuner Abt.
Cupra currently only supplies the Formentor in the Netherlands with 204 hp and 245 hp 1.4 TSI e-Hybrid powertrains. The Formentor is now always a plug-in hybrid in the Netherlands, although until last year the brand also supplied a plug-free version with a 310 hp 2.0 TSI. Elsewhere in the world, the Cupra Formentor also exists as a limited edition of 7,000 VZ5, the absolute top version with the 2.5-litre petrol engine from Audi. Indeed, a five-cylinder! That machine delivers 390 hp and 480 Nm in the Formentor VZ5, but is only too happy to be pumped up by the gentlemen and ladies of tuner Abt.
Abts version of the Cupra Formentor VZ5 is no less than 450 hp and 530 Nm strong. With its extra muscle power, the Formentor five-cylinder thunders to a speed of 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. Faster than a Porsche 911 Carrera S or GTS. A Formentor VZ5 without motor adjustments needs 4.2 seconds for that 0-100 sprint. The top speed of Cupra’s Abt-modified Formentor VZ5 is 270 km/h.
