Stay tuned as we watch APR’s progress as they tear down their latest VW Mk6 GTI Stage 3 demo car in preparation for this next year’s race season!  (words and pictures by Arin Ahnell)

Months before the MK6 was released we were able to get our hands on a shiny new red MK6, vin number 64. We quickly began developing products after we stopped drooling over the new setup. One of the first items strapped to the vehicle was a shiny new stage III turbocharger kit that put down around 385 ftlbs of torque and 370 HP. The car was fitted with BBS wheels, Sachs performance Suspension, and Alcon big brakes. She was a beautiful car. Then along came APR Motorsport and the 2010 racing season. The MK5’s are now in their third season – it was time for a change. We started by mocking up the new race car and showing it off at our BBQ in October. But this was far from ready to hit the track. We have rules we must follow. That means it’s time to Un-Pimp the auto! The stage three kit was ripped out of the car! Chas got to work on the miles of wires! and EVERYTHING was ripped out of the car in 2 days! Once it was all out, it was time to remove all the small bits. Loads of dry ice were used to remove sound dampening material while Chad cut off all the unneeded bits! Stay tuned for updates! Roll cage and car number two is next!
