I was more surprised since it's a nice advertisement for Volkspower (as opposed to dealer servicing)

I'm not really surprised.... Volkswagen have a long history of participating in motorsports. They've also got a long relationship with APR. Whilst we haven't really seen any VGA APR partnerships in this country, I was actually introduced to APR by it being mentioned to me by my dealer., the Scirocco 24 hour cars use some APR parts, VW of America commissioned APR to help build it's SEMA cars a few times (I believe that's where the first Stage III GTI came from), and there have been various countries which have released cars which come pre-flashed with the APR ECU, including Singapore.

Volkswagen are also leading the Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge in the "Street Tuner" class courtesy of APR America's efforts.

Good points, however if something breaks due to the extra horsepower created by APR tuning, would they still have warranty?

It's been discussed in the Tuning and Performance forum on many occassions. The answer is no different to the warranty sitation if you change your stereo, or your suspension, or your whatever else on a car...
