The CUPRA Formentor VZ CUP Racing Edition
Performance and style meet New Zealand craftmanship in this limited-edition powerhouse.
CUPRA is thrilled to announce the launch of the Formentor VZ Cup Racing Edition, a special, locally developed version of its high-performance SUV that blends European engineering with exclusive enhancements made for New Zealand drivers. Limited in number and built with precision, this edition is a bold expression of CUPRA’s commitment to individuality, performance, and design.
This model adds significant value over the current VZ, featuring a suite of high-end upgrades including Akebono performance brakes, Matrix LED headlights, a panoramic sunroof, and the unmistakable Akrapovič exhaust system. Finished with stealthy blackout exterior trim and riding on striking 19-inch Hailstorm forged black alloy wheels, the Formentor VZ Cup Racing Edition is crafted to stand out, in both appearance and performance.
The first 10 purchasers will receive a personalised black European plate featuring “CUP VZ” followed by their vehicle’s unique number, making this vehicle truly one of a kind and instantly collectible.
Further distinguishing this model is its local significance. Designed with input from the New Zealand CUPRA team and featuring locally sourced enhancements, it offers a level of exclusivity that simply can’t be found elsewhere in the world. Only a very limited number of units will be made available, making this a rare opportunity for CUPRA fans and performance enthusiasts alike.
Clinton Baird, CUPRA National Sales Manager, said:
"The Formentor VZ Cup Racing Edition perfectly captures CUPRA’s passion for performance and innovation, while celebrating New Zealand’s craftsmanship. This model offers an unparalleled driving experience that’s as dynamic as it is stylish, making it a standout in the premium performance segment."
Not only does this edition deliver standout features, but it also delivers savings, buyers will save more than $5,000 compared to the cost of adding these enhancements individually. Priced at $110,125 the Formentor VZ Cup Racing Edition is an expression of power, individuality, and exclusivity, built for those who drive differently.
The CUP Racing Edition is a bold tribute to CUPRA’s racing DNA reimagined for the street. It’s a race car disguised in shadow, engineered to move with purpose and presence. Every detail has been sharpened; every feature tuned for those who demand performance and character.
For the CUPRA tribe, this isn’t just a car, it’s a statement. Crafted locally. Inspired by the track. Built for those who don’t just drive, they arrive.
