The first of the S2000 SEAT Leons built in 2005. Early history is unknown, although possibly the car used by Jordi Gené for the latter races of the 2005 WTCC.

Purchased in 2007 by GR Asia and run initially in the WTCC, before taking in the final rounds of the BTCC and finally the ETC Cup. Sold to Kim Lund in 2008 and run in selected rounds on the Danish series. At the end of the year the car was purchased by Čolak Racing Team as a spare car for their 2009 WTCC and 2010 ETCC programme - XWT-019 being their actual race car.

Rebuilt by in 2012 and sold to Dušan Borković, who used the car in the opening 2 rounds of the 2013 ETCC. A crash at the Slovakia Ring meant that he would switch to XWT-027 for the following race before ending the season in a Chevrolet Cruze.

Sold to a Montenegro based hillclimber in 2014 and then to Përparim Dushi 2016. During the Ilirska Bistrica hillclimb event the car was crashed heavily and damaged beyond repair. In 2018, the car was stripped and all usable parts sold off before the chassis was scrapped.
