1/4 mile time has no sense with power. In Bogotá, 2600 m above sea level, car does exactly 14.1 with street regular tires.
Look at this: https://www.automobile-catalog.com/performance/2020/3099245/seat_leon_cupra_290_dsg.html#gsc.tab=0
This data has a lot more sense to it. Car should be around 13.5 - 13.7, stock.

14.2 comes from Auto Bild Sportscars October 2018. Automobile catalog probably has estimates only, not factual results.
It is entirely possible that Auto Bild had a poor run in poor conditions with poor launch etc. and this car should do 13.5 - 13.7. If you can point to car magazine that has published better 1/4 mile time, I will be more than happy to add it.

I'll have to look for a review with a reported 1/4 mile time. Is there any other type of valid proof for it?
Just to keep pointing out the inconsistency here: https://fastestlaps.com/models/seat-leon-cupra-280-dsg. Look at the stats for the 280, which is the little brother. It's literally the same car but older, with 10 hp less power. The 290 also has some minor upgrades.
You can see that the actual acceleration stats make a lot of sense, but the 1/4 mile time is 0.5 seconds quicker. That's simply not possible.
Another way to look at it is to, at least, keep the same 1/4 mile time as the little brother. But this is a quicker car—probably by 0.1-0.2 seconds—which is exactly the time I referenced before.
