Cupra UrbanReel Concept revealed as an urban(?) race EV

Test out this electrical race car or truck idea from Cupra. Officially named the Cupra UrbanReel Thought, this multi-colored, bewinged race car or truck is Cupra’s vision for a long run electrical city auto.

And indeed, it does feel counterintuitive to use a race car or truck as your vision for an “urban auto,” but that doesn’t modify the point that it is a wildly neat design and style. It will not make a difference a great deal to U.S. car or truck potential buyers since this Cupra will not ever be offered here, but Cupra suggests this car or truck will inspire a long run auto established to launch in 2025. We’re promised that “the highway edition will mix astonishing design and style and astounding dynamics.” It will also be centered on VW’s MEB platform.

But back to the idea car or truck at hand. This Cupra is fairly the pointy and intense fellow. Its gigantic wing out back is impossible to ignore, and Cupra suggests it was encouraged by virtual racing cars with somewhat outlandish wings. The car or truck alone is a hatchback, but even so, the wing however doesn’t adhere up a great deal additional higher than the roof. Its crimson brake gentle spanning the width gives it some excess aggression, and the broad hips and large diffuser incorporate to the search.

The race car or truck theme proceeds up front. You have a giant splitter and a “grille” with tons of very small Cupra logos sculpted into it. Far more pointy and protruding aero features continue together the side, and there is even a scoop on the roof — Cupra doesn’t demonstrate the perform of this. Nevertheless, Cupra does expose that this idea car or truck is speedy. It is capable of 335 horsepower, but an overboost perform places max output at 429 horsepower. We suspect it is a dual-motor setup, but Cupra doesn’t say. It is also capable of running a -62 mph dash in just 3.2 seconds, creating it a severely swift EV.

If you’re in Munich for the Motor Present, you’ll be in a position to see the UrbanReel Thought in the flesh there. Until eventually then, get pleasure from the colorful photographs.
