Seat Bocanegra Concept
While VW's Scirocco has been grabbing the headlines at Geneva, another brand in the Volkswagen portfolio, Spain's Seat, has introduced a sharp-looking coupe of its own called the Bocanegra concept. Bocanegra, a revival of a dormant Seat model name, derives its moniker from its blacked-out front clip, which looks fairly menacing. The hot hatch uses VW's 1.4-liter TSI engine that's been twin-turbocharged. Mated to the engine is VW's new seven-speed DSG gearbox, an engine-transmission combination that would likely work well for the coupe should it make it to production. Bocanegra also features a panoramic glass roof, concept-style 19-inch rims shod with low profile tires and cool head and taillight clusters. To us, Bocanegra's Spanish flair, dynamic lines and unique front end add up to a vehicle that has more character than its Scirocco cousin.
