Find Of The Day: All APR GTI

If you want a car built by a company that tunes them, here’s your chance. This 2010 MK6 GTI is chock full of APR go-fast bits. And it could be yours.

In the world of Volkswagen tuners, APR may very well be at the top of the list. They have tuned VW, Audi, and Porsche vehicles since 1997. They are known for making high-quality aftermarket parts. When you bolt on an APR part you know it’s going to perform well and last a long time.

To start, this 2010 GTI is a six-speed manual car with bi-xenon headlights, Dynaudio stereo, and a sunroof: a nice spec to start with. A catalog list of APR parts are included. VWVortex member RedATPGti says it has over $15,000 of parts in the car. Long story short: this car is putting down over 380 horsepower on 93 octane gas. To get this kind of power, some of the many upgrades are an APR Stage 3 turbocharger system, APR RSC turbo-back exhaust, an APR front-mounted intercooler, and a Carbonio intake (APR, naturally).

Enhancements don’t stop under the hood. This car is sitting on KW V3 coilovers. It has brand-new 18″ Detroit wheels, Audi TTS short-shifter, and even upgraded motor mounts. Inside are Golf R seats, a Golf R steering wheel, and even a Golf R head unit.

This 2010 GTI has had some recent maintenance including an engine rebuild with upgraded connecting rods, a refreshed transmission, oil and fluid changes, new fuel injectors, new spark plugs, and much more.

So if you’re looking for a car built by the experts, look no further than this GTI. Check out the ad in our classifieds. RedATPGti is a motivated seller: the current asking price is $13,500.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers. The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience. So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf. In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
