Production SEAT Ibiza Bocanegra unveiled in both 150 PS and 180 PS guise!

SEAT Ibiza Bocanegra

The hottest and probably the best looking production version of the SEAT Ibiza was unveiled in Barcelona at the 2009 Barcelona International Motor Show this week. The new Ibiza Bocanegra (FYI, the word Bocanegra means Black Mouth) is a tribute to the styling of the SEAT 1200 Sport back from the 1970s.

The Ibiza range already has a 150 PS Ibiza FR and a 180 PS Ibiza Cupra, but the new SEAT Ibiza Bocanegra offers both 150 PS and 180 PS tune versions of the 1.4 litre TSI engine, and adds a unique Bocanegra bodykit which looks way more aggressive and fitting of the 180 PS than the sedate-looking-in-comparison Ibiza Cupra.

The engine is mated to a 7-speed twin clutch transmission with paddle shifters, and an XDS electronic LSD. It’s small, light, has 180 PS and most importantly plenty of torque thanks to the twin-turbocharging. A nice alternative to other good-looking hot hatches like the MiTo and the Cooper S.

Look after the jump for more shots!

    A bit over-styled for my taste but 180 PS from a 1.4 sounds seriously good! =D

    Is this a production car or a concept? I must say, I love those seats, but the rims, they look good, just that in the pictures they look distorted. Still, lovely car

    handsome thing. Ill take this over the alfa since some hairdressers might actually find the Alfa nice. In my imaginary world I assume itll be sold here at Altis prices (it is a cheapo Volks after all) but look at what u get, twin clutch, modern engine and it look cool.
