SEAT Ibiza Bocanegra unveiled! The SEAT Ibiza Bocanegra is a more sporty-looking version of the Ibiza Cupra. The new Ibiza will be offered with a 1.4-liter twin-charged TSI engine in 150HP and 180HP guises.

The Bocanegra’s exterior include a broader grille, a new treatment for the fog light surroundings, black door mirror housings, a dark tinted sunroof and newly designed 17-inch alloy wheels. At the back, the Bocanegra features honeycomb mesh on the side grids, a roof spoiler and a tinted rear window plus a prominent “Bocanegra” badge centred on the rear hatch.

The SEAT Ibiza Bocanegra’s interior has been upgraded with sport seats upholstered in a special fabric made up of rhomboids stitched together in red, a three-spoke flatt-bottomed steering wheel, gloss black trim, aluminum-clad pedals and a Bocanegra logo on the instrument panel.

The SEAT Ibiza Bocanegra will hit European showrooms in couple months.

SEAT has has confirmed it will be putting the Bocanegra concept into production. The Bocanegra – ‘black mouth’ in Spanish – features a strik­ing Perspex-trimmed face. It previewed the three-door version of the new Ibiza, which will be badged SportCoupe when it goes on sale in November. And the Bocanegra’s nose will appear on a flagship Cupra variant, which is due in 2009.

The hot hatch will have real road presence, thanks to the neat trans­parent housing for the xenon headlights, as well as the big vents that feed cool air to the engine.

The Cupra will also get the same ground-hugging bodykit, plus a panoramic glass sunroof. Power should come from the 1.4-litre twin-turbo FSI petrol engine which appeared in the concept. This will have around 180bhp and be mated to a seven-speed semi-automatic DSG gearbox.
