As you may know already, Volkswagen wants to achieve the same success with Seat as it did with its own cars and this can be seen from models such as the Golf R – Leon Cupra R or the Ibiza – Polo. The latest move from the Spanish manufacturer will be the creation of a new coupe, based on the stylish Scirocco.

According to Seat sales and marketing boss Jan Lafrentz, a design proposal already exists for this car which could go on sale as soon as winter 2011. “We see Leon and Ibiza as the two main pillars of our product line-up, and it makes sense for us to expand them as much as possible. A C-segment coupe is much more easy to package than a B-segment coupe, and would be more profitable for us. The Scirocco has done great things for Volkswagen, and I believe this car could do even greater things for us.” added Jan Lafrentz.
