SEAT Concepto T

The SEAT Concepto T Coupé and Concepto T Cabrio were prototypes developed by Spanish car manufacturer SEAT which were aiming to show the company’s potential under the then new ownership of the Volkswagen Group. The business was wholly acquired by the Volkswagen Group in December 1990, when Volkswagen took 99.99% ownership of the company.{{cite web|url=https://auto2014.wordpress.com/2013/12/20/1036/|title=SEAT, S.A. – Ownership|website=auto2014.wordpress.com|date=20 December 2013|accessdate=19 October 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.volkswagenag.com/presence/konzern/images/teaser/history/chronik/annual-report/1990-Annual-Report.pdf|website=volkswagenag.com|title=1990 Annual Report|date=31 December 1990|accessdate=14 June 2021}}

Concepto T Coupé

The Concepto T Coupé was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in October 1992. It is a coupé car with 2+2 seating on the basis of the SEAT Toledo Mark 1, and was designed in house by the SEAT Prototypes Centre of Development. It was presented at the motor show painted in yellow and equipped with a {{convert|200|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} V6 engine.{{cite web|title=Zona Franca En Spanish|url= http://lamarina-zonafranca.com|publisher=Lamarina Zonafranca|accessdate=19 October 2020|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071013184959/http://lamarina-zonafranca.com/lamarina/Nostalgia%20de%20una%20epoca/index.html|archivedate=13 October 2007|date=13 October 2007|url-status=dead}} Development of this concept began in 1989 with the intent of creating a Toledo Coupé. This, however, never made it to production.{{cite web|url=http://www.carstyling.ru/en/car/1992_seat_concepto_t/|title=1992 Seat Concepto T|website=carstyling.ru|date=19 October 2020|accessdate=19 October 2020}}

Concepto T Cabrio

One year later in March 1993, SEAT presented the Concepto T Cabrio at the Barcelona Motor Show. This soft top cabriolet was painted a reddish colour. The Concepto T Cabrio was equipped with the same 200 PS V6 Engine as had been used in the T Coupé.{{cite web|url=http://www.seatfansclub.com/2011/10/nave-a112-seat-concepto-t-y-concepto-t.html|title=NAVE A122: SEAT CONCEPTO T Y CONCEPTO T CABRIO|website=seatfansclub.com|date=21 October 2011|accessdate=28 November 2020}}
