Driving a car with the power output of the CUPRA Formentor VZ5 is quite an experience. But the thrills become even more extreme if you take it to an icy track in Lapland, Finland. CUPRA driver Jordi Gené pushes the brand’s most powerful model to the limit in the country’s northernmost region to show that its exclusive performance is perfect for all terrains.
Driving a car with the power output of the CUPRA Formentor VZ5 is quite an experience. But the thrills become even more extreme if you take it to an icy track in Lapland, Finland. CUPRA driver Jordi Gené pushes the brand’s most powerful model to the limit in the country’s northernmost region to show that its exclusive performance is perfect for all terrains.Going from 0-100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds is an over-the-top experience in any circumstance, and on this closed, icy track the sensation is multiplied. CUPRA’s most exclusive model to date, of which only 7,000 units have been produced, is its most powerful car. And it’s not just a sports car. Equipped with four-wheel drive, it adapts to all kinds of terrain, even those as unstable as this one, without losing any traction.
CUPRA continues to move forward in its goal to create a universe of experiences around the car. After announcing their partnership at the CUPRA Anniversary digital event last February, the unconventional challenger brand and De Antonio Yachts present their first collaboration to the world. The two brands have worked together on the design of the De Antonio Yachts D28 Formentor, a high-performance yacht inspired by the first model uniquely designed and developed for the automotive brand, the CUPRA Formentor. This showboat is a unique design exercise that will lay the groundwork for the launch of a special limited edition of the D28 in the iconic CUPRA colours and finishes that will go on sale at the end of 2021.
The CUPRA Born is the brand’s first 100% electric vehicle and the next stage of the unconventional challenger brand’s development.It integrates the most advanced powertrain technology: the pure electric system is available with a choice of either 150PS (110kW) or 204PS (150kW) electric engines that deliver energy to the rear wheels.With the addition of an e-Boost package, maximum output can reach up to 170kW (231PS), with battery packs of 58kWh and 77kW, to deliver a range of up to 420km (58kWh) or up to 548km (77kWh).When equipped with the e-Boost package and with the 58kWh battery, the CUPRA Born goes from 0 to 50km/h in only 2.6s and the 0-100km/h in just 6.6 seconds.
Greenland is one of the most extreme places on the planet. It’s also where renowned photojournalist Paolo Pellegrin embarked on a journey in the CUPRA Formentor e-HYBRID, to photograph the car’s interaction with the landscapes. This is #DriveTheChange, in collaboration with the Magnum Photos agency to raise awareness about the importance of preserving nature.-72ºN 40ºW. Greenland is an island of intense contrasts. With almost 80% of its surface covered by ice, and a maximum temperature of 10 ºC, only some of its coastline reveals its rocky essence and the immensity of the tundra. CUPRA and Pellegrin chose this setting to highlight the impact of climate change.
