Seat Leon Cupra used as Romanian police car

The Romanian highway patrol is currently testing Seat Leon Cupra hatchbacks for use as police cars in the Eastern European country.

The Seat Leon Cupra has a 240 hp 2.0-litre turbocharged engine. The sporty Cupra can do the 0-100 kph run in 6.4 seconds, making it quicker than the boring VW Golf GTI. The top speed is 247 kph.

Of course, the Politia version comes with police equipment such as lights, sirens, radio, computer and official decals.

UAE prices and specs for the GCC-spec civilian version are listed in the Seat Leon buyer guide.
