Honestly one of the best tuning company advertisements i have ever seen. The quality of work that went into this video is phenomenal. i am a golf 7R owner all the way from South Africa and i have a white 7R and i personally do not like red but the quality of this video made me really like that red 7R. Great Job guys good luck with getting all that business, it is a pitty that i am all the way in South Africa and not there to give you my business.
Have owned an HPA Motorsport built Audi A3 S-Line Quattro since December 2010. The car is one of a kind, not just engine/drive train, but interior and exterior as well and has the only set of wheels like it in the US. I LOVE this car. It has about 12k miles on it as of today and is covered in storage most of the year sitting beside a built H1, Ferrari 328 GTS, tuned Cayenne Twin Turbo S and several other toys I love. Unfortunate but only because of my working circumstances. As far as HPA, I can't say enough good things about you guys. It really has been a reliable car. I can drive it on the highway and get 40+ mpg, but it's been to 160 without even thinking about it before I let out of it for fear of being caught. Which in fact happened years back, interesting story. Thanks to HPA Motorsports and their strive to build uniquely well built and reliable "fun" for us guys that appreciate it. Cheers...
This is a cool video! After testing the Type R, I'm really eager to get into a GTI or Golf R and see what's what. People keep telling me I have to drive one to understand.... This video helps me to understand the obsession. Well done!
The Golf R is just so laser-focused in the way it drives and gives you a bunch of confidence. Makes you feel like a hero. I still have not driven a new Type-R! Would love a chance to compare.
If you like hondas check out best motoring on youtube to see old school and some newer hondas and other jdm cars driven by professional Japanese drivers in japan. Really great stuff, not all of the vids have subtitles if you dont speak Japanese but the ones that do are often hilarious and you get to see how well engineered the cars are and how sharp they are on the track.
It's about time a VW Tuner is shown in this media! Great video on the R, kiddos to you guys!!! My question is do you guys do upgrades on Beetles?! I'll have money coming to me soon and would like to build a sleeper out of my 1999 Beetle 2.0l!
HPAMotorsports what suspension did you put on this car? Love ride the height and stance. With the HRE wheels that looks awesome. Love to do that to my R but worried about a rougher ride. Happy with stock ride just not the height.
The Mk6 Golf R was never produced in the VR6. It was the first generation of the 2.0L FSI. The R32 generations in the mk4 and mk5 had the 3.2L hence the name R32. The mk6 is known as R20 for the 2.0L engine
@@StreetFighter2010 no that much... whole kit will cost about 6500 if you source everything from HPA...install will take it to $8k...if you hit $12K...you really got to get hosed on labor for that

One says cheaper, one says more power, but what about reliability ? When you sink $60 -70k into a car and mods, it’s gotta perform And not leave shrapnel on the roadway. 🇨🇦👍
@@thedarkgreenvanman obviously you haven't done your homework about their IS38 hybrid. That's at only 23/24lbs of boost which they did to be safe. An IS38 can do over 30lbs stock trim so obviously it can make more. That's just where they stopped. HPA also uses a rolling road simulator which will read lower for HP so on a dyno jet it could be even higher that's all dependant on numerous factors.
Beautiful car , I’ve got a MK7 Golf R in Tornado Red so looks almost the same as this except mines only stock 300bhp 😅 wrapped all the chrome bits gloss black and black vw badges , it looks much better especially with red
reliability is dependent on the user i daily drive mine and i drive about 60 miles a day and no problems in the past year my point is hybrid systems have know to push 500+ on a golf r this systems seems kinda low on the price range
@@kennyagne2922 that's because they arent utilize meth or ethanol or upgraded fueling. To efficiently make it past the 450 mark they would need to add all those and they elected to go for reliability over total power output. Their dyno also reads low because it is a rolling road simulator. This turbo is pushing 23lbs of boost making 444whp. The stock IS38 can push 30+ maxed out. That should tell you what this turbo should be capable of when paired with more aggressive builds and tuning. Edit: also once you eclipse 450wtq you need to build the motor to successfully maintain the power and not break anything. They have not gone above that.
@13:41 where he states, "There's something to be said, especially in the low RPMs...." (regarding "exhaust grunt") is no secret when you have an aftermarket DP & Catback exhaust. Run that on the stock set-up and there is silence. Bottom Line: It's not the engine, it's the components.
Mk6 golf R was not a VR6, it was a 2.0T, the previous gen of the one found in the MK7 though the MK7s is a far superior engine (and chassis for that matter).

Kyle There are plenty of companies who build quality products that aren’t overpriced. While your statement is true, HPA goes way overboard with their pricing. You almost have to be a millionaire to afford anything they offer. Last time I checked, most VW owners aren’t millionaires, and if you are a millionaire you probably aren’t driving a VW.
What I want to see from HPA, and I know you boys are the only ones who are up to the task for the MK7 is to do a package five cylinder Audi swap into the Mk7 golf R. Call me with the price$$!!
The Golf R has a terrible delay in shifting power to the rear and even when it does, very little power gets to the rear. Shame as it's otherwise a nice car. Too bad it's transverley mounted. That's why Audi goes longitudinal
video is cool and everything, but could have told the speaker to drink lemonade and take some cough drops before start recording. The harshness in the voice is frustrating.
Because too many VW products have R badges on them because of "R-Line" and a Golf R doesn't look all that dissimilar from a normal Golf at a glance. And even if you know it's an R, you aren't expecting 450 HP performance out of it.
@@vomErsten you really don't know what a sleeper is... Unless you not a car guy you can distinctly differentiate between a R line and an R at a glance. Furthermore an R is already fast enough either you running on 450 bhp or stock. A sleeper would be a polo classic with an engine swipe running on 450 bhp not a golf R, everyone knows its a performance car.
"Reliability has gone up with the tune" - That Old Chestnut - facepalm. What's the point when you have one of the most unreliable brands to start with. My friend did three gearboxes in 6 months, and my uncles 3 month old, Gen 7 stranded us twice on the M11 in one week. My other friend had a Toyota no issues for three years, then swapped over to a Skoda. That had to be recovered three times in 11 months, right up until the bottom end went... not even a year old! And my Aunt did near $15k in repairs for her VW Continental. She swapped it for a Rangey .. oh well, out of the frying pan ....
Even with a 700 or 800HP car, it's tough to translate speed on video. That's why shows like Top Gear use over the top editing, camera and audio tricks to emphasize and bring a car to life. I assure you the car will quite easily triple the speed limit at a moments notice ;)

In the video he mentioned a vr6 mk6 golf R. I suppose he was talking about the HPA one.

So what did the wheel hp and torque turn out to be for this stage 3...or is 450 hp the wheel hp rating?
I'd like to see a review of a Cobalt SS/TC.
Apparently they came with 260hp and 260tq.
How much does it costs to convert a stock 288 HP Mark 7 Golf R to a 450 HP HPA Mark 7 Golf R?

You get more power from the Americans too

Can’t say that about 2.0t parts, they actually have better pricing then others.
what’s the best first mod for a golf r
What did HPA do to the farts,from my experience,that's not how a 7R sounds when it farts,even a stock 7r farts are louder than that HPA tuned 7r
Idk they sound louder than stock to me
Nice color! Why are all R's blue/black hmm....
HPA needs to get with the times and rethink their pricing. It's just too much when nowadays you can get an even better setup for far less.

Even with 450 BHP, there’s still too much turbo lag.
Any way to mitigate that?
Full boost at 3000 rpm isnt even laggy are you used to driving diesels? Lol
I wish you did a tune for an Audi RS6 Avant.... wagon..
Badass! but I’d rather have a 5 or 6 speed tbh
we want to know how much it would cost to replicate this build and we want to see what it can do in the quarter mile
They should turn a "New Beetle 5c" into a 400+ HP Golf R.
