On October 12th, the crew at APR opened the doors to their 80,000 sq-ft headquarters and invited enthusiasts to the APR Huas Party. The event consisted of a dyno competition, car show, and tours of the sprawling, high-tech facility. There was food, fun, and some of the most sleek and powerful German brutes on display. Check out the dyno coverage (above) from the event to hear all manner of wicked exhaust notes sing as competitors worked the rollers for the biggest numbers of the day. Also, keep scrolling for event highlights and a full image gallery of awesome APR, and Dinan-powered rides.
If you're a fan of Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda, Porsche, and other vehicles, APR is the absolute Mecca of European performance, so when the company says it's opening its doors to the public for a weekend event, you mad-dash over Willy-Wonka-style and check out the candy factory before the gates close. Haus Party guests were able to see APR's development facility, chassis dynos, fabrication area, and more.
The APR & Dinan car show drew tons of unique rides to APR's facility grounds. From luxury exotics to humble hatchbacks, the Haus Party was awash in freshly waxed, stylish rides, many of which were proudly repping a slew of APR and Dinan tuning parts.
APR Haus Party Car Show Winners
Richard Winters' thoroughly tuned bug took home the APR best of show award, and also hit the dyno with 352HP and 380 lb-ft of torque.
Trenton Hopson's MK3 TTRS (left) whacked the dyno with 695HP and 733 lb-ft of torque. It features an APR Stage 3 GTX turbo and a fully built engine begging for more boost.
APR owned up their twin dynos and competitors put their vehicles to the test searching for who brought the biggest baddest weapon of the weekend. While the dynos are normally used for parts testing and creating APR's top-tier vehicle tunes, Haus Party allowed spectators and competitors alike to enjoy them.
In addition to copious food trucks, the dyno competition, and car show, attendees were also able to take advantage of special on-site deals for getting performance tunes flashed into their cars.
