SEAT Bolero

The Bolero 330bt is a sports-style saloon, which blends the spirit of the avant-garde sports car with the stirring beauty of the unforgettable GT.

The lines of the Bolero 330bt which was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1998 - represents a statement of intent for the design of future SEAT models. The severe features of its waist line and central section contrast with the soft contours of its interior, which provides all the space of a family car.

The concept of the Bolero 330bt contains such valuable elements as ride comfort, the highest equipment level and proven safety, all coupled with an engine unit brimming with controlled energy. The 2.8l V6 engine with 330 bhp (242 kW) with two turbochargers - bt stands for bi-turbo - delights the driver with performance up to the standard of the best sports cars and the control which is provided by the Sportronic gearshift system, and permanent four-wheel drive.

There is an aesthetic contrast between the rounded contours of the interior and the pronounced front end, which reaches its peak when you open both doors. The experts from the Mediterranean brand belonging to the Volkswagen Group have broken new ground in eliminating the central pillar - the B pillar.

The Bolero 330bt is a study for a sports-type family car suitable for every day use by four adults. Its particular features include the large-size wheels, which lend strength to SEAT's pioneering concept. The 19 inch alloy wheel rims have low profile tyres 255/40. They are the wheels of a very powerful machine suitable for fast driving in all conditions. The sports origins allow a large braking system to be fitted, enabling safe control of the bi-turbo engine's 330 bhp.

SEAT's study offers solutions to all questions of road holding and stability with effective means, such as permanent four-wheel drive which distributes the torque from the V6 bi-turbo between the two axles safely and effectively. The Sportronic gearshift system adapts to suit the driver's personal preferences and the road conditions.
