APS Upgrades Volkswagen Golf R
APS of Brackley, UK importer for the Swiss based Sportec range of vehicle performance enhancements, has announced the launch of a new Stage One ECU upgrade package for the new Volkswagen Golf R.
In standard form the turbocharged 2.0-litre four cylinder Golf R produces 267bhp (200KW) and 258lb.ft (354Nm) of torque. Sportec’s careful recalibration of the fuel, ignition timing and boost pressure settings via an extensively proven ECU remap sees power output leap to 300bhp (224KW) at 6000rpm and 321lb.ft (440Nm) of torque at 2750 rpm, delivering significant performance improvements which greatly increase the driver enjoyment of the four wheel drive Golf R superhatch.
For example, the Golf R’s 0-100 kmh (0-62mph) acceleration time is reduced from 5.7 to 5.3 seconds, with the top speed increasing to 160mph (265 kmh).
Suitable for both six speed manual and DSG versions of the Golf R, the Sportec Stage One upgrade package is available now from UK Sportec importer APS of Brackley, priced at £649.00 including installation, road testing and VAT at 17.5%.
