Global Concepts (Part 2)
SEAT Salsa
-
SEAT's new Salsa concept unveiled at the 2000 Geneva Motor Show is described as adaptable to the type of driving desired, so it was subtitled the Multi Driving Concept (MDC). It is powered by a 2.8-L V6 engine producing 209 kW (280 hp) and has four-wheel drive. Salsa's driver can select sport, comfort, or city driving modes by operating a dashboard switch. According to the option chosen, the layout of the dashboard, the driving position, interior lighting, and even the engine note change. In addition, depending on the mode selected, the Salsa swaps between five-speed automatic and manual Tiptronic gear selection. Walter de Silva, who joined Seat from Alfa Romeo, designed the Salsa.
