Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[RoccoR]

guys went yesterday to APR and they show me a graphic of the R they are testing it looks impressive I can't remember all the numbers but I do remember that it said that the golf R stock has 204kw wheels power and after the tuning the nm was around the 500s impressive numbers I can't wait for them to show the oficial numbers but it will impress for sure.

Not sure I understand your statement. Is it 204kw at the wheels for stage 1 APR tune? You've said stock but then quoted a tuned torque value??

204kw wheel power about 10 to 15% more should be the engine power, this is stock.

204kw wheel power about 10 to 15% more should be the engine power, this is stock, they told me that they where surprised that it is more than what the dealers said, and they are testing their car which is going to have around 490 to 500nm torque, from the top of my head was about 380sh kw, I can't remember the exact numbers.

I think this follow up post is even more confusing

So APR tuned R has 380sh kw?

Somebody else needs to contact Guy Harding to set the story straight. 204 kW at the wheel translates to about 235 kW at the flywheel using the 15% drive-train loss rule for FWD, assuming no power or torque sent to the rear wheels, if no front wheel slippage is detected. Circa 380 kW for APR tuning equates to 510 HP, which doesn't sound realistic in the slightest. Perhaps he meant 380 HP, which equates to 283 kW, which sounds more realistic.
