Video: Watch as a SEAT Leon CUPRA 280 engine takes on a washing machine

The lads at SEAT have been wondering what could handle the all-new Leon CUPRA's 2.0L dual injection TSI engine. So, naturally, they hooked one up to a washing machine, because… science.

So this time around the white coats in SEAT decided to hook the CUPRA 280's 2.0L dual injection TSI engine up to a washing machine. There are no prizes for guessing what happens, but the end result is pretty spectacular regardless. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MdXjS2dioc&feature=youtu.be
