The APR Australia Golf R is a rocket ship with 600hp and 850Nm of torque on race fuel. So what is it like to drive the World’s Fastest Golf R? You would think it would be absolutely detrimental with the amount of power the hot hatch is making.


But for some good reasons it is actually the exact opposite.


“It is perfectly mannered on the street with the damping wound off a touch” says Guy Harding from APR Australia. “Even grandma could go for a run to the shops in it”


Q: So what were the priorities when you started the project with a new car?


A: “This vehicle has been made as a real sleeper (decals aside). Driveability and comfort are the number one priority. No vibration, no extra cabin noise, civility throughout” Guy replies.





Putting all this power down to the wheels is a difficult challenge. So how does Guy make the most of the R’s insane power?


“Getting the transmission to handle the power is no easy task, a careful combination of software and hardware took some time to work” Guy replies.





The team at APR work closely with suspension specialists Fulcrum who produce the globally known brand of bushes. Along with sway bars and custom arms, these go a long way to helping the car put the power down. APR relies on the range from SuperPro to increase grip and deliver better handling for their Golf. SuperPro is the choice for Suspension Arms, Sway Bars and Bushes. With drivability and comfort in mind they are the answer for that extra grip you need in high powered vehicles and even low powered vehicles. APR never upgrade stuff just for the sake of it; if it’s added then it’s purposeful.


Covering performance and enhancement solutions, the Roll Control range is equally at home on the track, street or even off-road. Roll control products are designed to give the driver and passenger a better motoring experience every day.
