| Limited edition | SEAT Leon FR550 |
The SEAT Leon FR550 is a limited edition diesel-powered hot hatch that marks the Spanish firm using diesel engines in its British Touring Car Championship racers. Only 550 of these FR models will be made.
A unique body kit, 18-inch alloy wheels and 'FR550' badges mark out the special edition, while inside there are sports seats and an MP3 connector.
Under the bonnet is a 167bhp 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine that takes the FR550 from 0-62mph in 8.2 seconds and on to a 135mph top speed. Fuel economy is very un-hot hatch-like at 47.1mpg and the FR550 emits only 161g/km of carbon dioxide.
The FR550 is on sale now and costs £18,405.
