When it comes to combining exclusivity and style, Cupra seems to know exactly how to do it. The latest addition to the fleet, the Cupra Formentor VZ5 BAT, is the best example of this. The piece of jewelry is on everyone's lips not only because of its black look, but also because of its impressive technical data. Let's start with the heart, the engine. Under the hood of the Formentor VZ5 BAT is the powerful 2,5-liter five-cylinder engine from the Audi RS3, which is impressive 390 PS brings to the street. With a torque of 480 Nm The VZ5 promises to dominate every road, whether in the city or on the highway.

Cupra Formentor VZ5 BAT

And to ensure the beast looks good too while dominating the left lane are those specially designed for the BAT model 20-inch alloy wheels ready to attract attention. But this is only the beginning. When it came to the exterior design of the Cupra Formentor VZ5 BAT, the designers were obviously inspired by the dark side. Much of the change is only visual and focuses primarily on the introduction of even more black elements. Roof rails shines in deep black, just like the radiator grill and the frame, both of which are in the same black shade.

The mirror covers made of carbon also make a chic statement. The black coated ones exhaust pipes add an extra level of sophistication to the entire concept. Upon entering the VZ5 BAT, it quickly becomes clear that the dark theme continues in the interior. The interior is bathed in black, from the ventilation grilles to Center console, both of which are decorated with black chrome. And also the Cupra logos and Inscriptions, which are emblazoned both at the front and back, are in striking black.

BAT is still an unknown addition to us

As for the mysterious “BAT” suffix in the vehicle’s name, it still remains a mystery. Although not officially defined, it is believed that it is an allusion to the animal of the same name, the bat, could act. For everyone who is now toying with the idea of owning this miracle of technology, let me say: Hurry up! Because worldwide only 500 BAT vehicles built. A real collector's item. When it comes to price and availability, Cupra is still keeping a low profile.
