SEAT UK will make a ground-breaking announcement at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show today, 4 March 2014, in the shadow of a massive skirt.
What the spectacular 250-metre square skirt is concealing is a secret, but the unique concept involves suspending a dancer – ‘Lady SEAT’ – 20 metres above the stage and lifting her skirt using a series of gas-powered pulleys. All-told, it will take 1,200 litres of gas compressed in to 30 bottles to pull the stunt off. The attached teaser video gives a glimpse of the skirt in action.
Alongside the spectacular stage show, SEAT is preparing to make a hugely significant announcement regarding the Leon Cupra. Again, the press conference will reveal all, but the two attached teaser videos give a clue as to what that could be.
SEAT’s press conference takes place in Hall 2 of the Geneva Palexpo at 10:20 CET, Tuesday 4 March.
