Cupra is a car brand owned by the Spanish manufacturer SEAT S.A., part of the Volkswagen Group, and headquartered at Martorell near Barcelona. It grew out of the motorsport division of SEAT, Cupra Racing, and the name, short for Cup Racing, was first used in 1996 on a road version of the Ibiza kit car that SEAT built to mark its victory in the FIA 2-Litre World Rally Cup. For two decades it served as the performance badge on SEAT hot hatchbacks, then in January 2018 it was launched as a standalone brand. Its first models were based on SEAT cars, including the Ateca and the León, while the Formentor of 2020 was the first Cupra-only vehicle. The Born of 2021 was its first electric car, and the Tavascan followed in 2023 as the first Cupra built outside Europe, in China.
