Torque has been pegged back then.

 

[DanGB]

yeah the torgue aint great, as ive got the same figure on my normal turbo 2.0T.

But 400bhp is good

 

[Cupra_Wayne]

That's the DSG box for you. 400bhp is nice though

Appears that it might be the same kit in that R-GTi concept:

(although one says 385whp and the other 355whp, they both say 400bhp

2 weeks?
coming with their RHD 1.8T manifold?

 

[m0rk]

the 2 weeks thing was running through my head as I posted it...

 

[ibizacupra]

sorry, I could'nt resist.

2 weeks.. vortex unit of measure.

 

[Feel]

Yeah, originally coined for ATP though?

Edit: Someone on the Vortex has poined out the resemblance to a Panda

 

[ibizacupra]

somewhat better quality gear from APR thankfully. but shocking taste in styling and colours... they should stick to performance tuning... styling sux

 

[Cupra_power]

What is with the two tone bit ? that is seriously fugly.

 

[ibizacupra]

this is from the land where wooden sided cars can be deemed cool.....

 

[AwesomeSarah]

Well..sorry I think it looks great!

Sorry just my opinion

Everyone has their own opinions on these things, its aimed at the american market mainl, which from what i can tell, this is the way that a lot of the styling is going. As it says in the article it was part of a competition between 4 big tuning companies and APR came out on top. I personally really like the car, i appreciate its not to everyones taste though. I do prefere the RGTI but only just.

We should be getting the stage 3 kit as soon as it becomes available in the states. There are no differences between the LHD and RHD 2.0TFSI's, so it will go straight onto our cars over here. Should be interesting

 

[DanGB]

im interested

 

[Feel]

What about Longitudinal 2.0T's Andy?

 

[DanGB]

APR made a K04 kit for that ages ago.

 

[AndyHazza]

Thats right it has been available for a bit now, they have no issues either with LHD or RHD. Hopefully stage 3 will be in development too.

We have already had a few people enquiring about the kit since the release of the photo's etc following the Sema show.
