APR Reveals 350 HP Atlas for all your Outdoorsy Needs

Despite being considerably larger than anything else VW has ever produced, the Atlas is basically just a Golf. And that’s good news for tuners like APR, who can just bolt Golf R parts onto it and make it better.

And that’s exactly what APR has done with this bright green Atlas. By adding its IS38 turbocharger and an ECU tune to give it 350 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque (up 115 hp and 92 lb-ft over stock).

APR has also added a carbon fiber intake system, a cast exhaust system, and 6-piston 350mm performance brakes, to ensure that it doesn’t run away from you.

They also gave the Atlas a 1.5-inch bump to make it a little taller. APR did this by adding new CNC machined billet suspension components and fitting Toyo Open Country M/t 275/55R20 tires.

This one is also shod in 20×9-inch lightweight forged wheels and is wearing a custom wrap by Digital Precision.

“We were thrilled to have the opportunity to work on this project to bring the Atlas 2.0T to the next level,” said Mitch Williams, CEO of APR. “With 350 horsepower and 350-pound feet of torque we’ve surpassed the output from even the larger V6 engine and we’re working to push the envelope even further in the future. The combination of custom hardware and equipment from our current product line really transformed the Atlas’ performance.”

Unfortunately, this is just a one-off for now, but APR is insistent that they’re evaluating a lineup of performance upgrades for the Atlas in the future.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
