"In 2021 we launched Cupra Born, our first 100% electric vehicle - commented Wayne Griffiths, CEO of Cupra - and this represented a milestone for the brand. The 45,300 units sold last year marked an increase of 44%. .4% compared to the previous year, an exceptional result. The Cupra Born VZ will increase the performance of this model, demonstrating once again that electrification and performance are a perfect combination."
The fully electric powertrain is now capable of delivering 240 kW of power, a 40% increase compared to the e-Boost version.
Torque has also increased to an impressive 545 Nm, 75% more than any other Born version.
This means that from standstill the Cupra Born VZ can reach 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds, one second faster than the e-Boost version.
The top speed has also increased and is now limited to 200 km/h, 40 km/h more than the e-Boost version.
Improvements have also been made to the Born VZ chassis, which works in combination with the new sports suspension with DCC which aims for an immediate steering response, and the performance of the braking system, in addition to a robust rear brake.
All to create a superior dynamic performance.
Cupra Born VZ will be introduced in the Italian market in the third quarter of 2024.
