Power - at every level
The CUPRA VZ5 has the heart of a 5-cylinder engine - raw, full of character, full of emotion. But what is only hinted at as standard, we bring out uncompromisingly at HPerformance. The 2.5 TFSI is no ordinary engine - it is a legend. With its unmistakable sound, explosive torque curve and potential that goes far beyond the visible, it demands real fine-tuning.
At HPerformance, we transform this drive into a statement. With in-depth know-how, years of experience and pure passion for the 5-cylinder, we bring out what the VZ5 really is: a driving commitment to performance and emotion.
Not just faster. But more intense. More personal. CUPRA as it was intended - with HPerformance.
