Seat Leon Cupra R 1.8T BAM vs Mercedes A45 AMG - Old Hot Hatch vs Modern Hyper Hatch Showdown

We take our 2004 Seat Leon Cupra R 1.8t BAM out for a spin with a 2017 Mercedes A45 AMG. Just a little bit of fun to see how much of a gap the modern all wheel drive 375 bhp hyper hatch can pull, and how well a several generations older front wheel drive 225 bhp hot hatch can keep up.
