At the Munich Motor Show, the VW Group made a major announcement with the ID. GTI, but another standout reveal came from Cupra. If you need a reminder, Cupra is the performance-focused arm of SEAT, a Spanish car brand that has been under VW’s ownership for quite some time. While Cupra doesn’t currently sell vehicles in the United States (although it has been discussed), its DarkRebel concept is impossible to ignore.
The name might sound a bit silly, reminiscent of a potential Star Wars spin-off series coming soon to Disney+. And, in fact, the design wouldn’t seem out of place in the grittier parts of Coruscant. But let’s be honest, that can actually be quite entertaining. The long nose and the cabin positioned almost midway back create a dramatic effect. There’s also a whole lot happening with the vents, creases, scoops, and more. Even the headlights are comprised of small triangles, which are reflected in the taillights. The geometric, aerodynamic wheels are just as eye-catching with their multitude of strakes. We wouldn’t necessarily describe it all as beautiful, but it certainly grabs your attention.
In comparison, the interior of the DarkRebel is slightly more restrained, although only by a small margin. The centerpiece, quite literally, is the pillar that separates the driver and passenger areas of the dashboard. It’s designed with a curvy lattice shape. A sleek screen is positioned in front of the ambient-lit steering wheel, while the wraparound section of the dashboard that extends along the base of the windshield serves as an additional display.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much more information available about the Cupra DarkRebel. We don’t even have speculative details about its drivetrain, other than the fact that it’s electric. Furthermore, it’s unlikely that this concept will ever make it into production. It’s a classic type of concept car that focuses on experimenting with bold styling ideas, gauging public opinion, and incorporating certain elements into future production models. So, it’s safe to say that future Cupras could be quite interesting, to say the least.
