While an APR intake "might" be OK, I think most modders will add something non-APR and then that warranty is toast as well.I believe Arin posted you can install an APR intake, but is he authorized to state that? Is he an owner? If it's true, why isn't it stated in the warranty, say, under an authorized parts section? Makes me skeptical. And won't you need to pay for a rental car while they figure out if they'll pay and repair your car? Make sure you have trip interruption reimbursement on your credit card.
owning a C55,C63 and E63 keep dreaming VAG and hopefully we will see the A45 AMG someday
From what i've read online the A45 AMG hatchback sold in europe uses the same haldex type awd system.
What VW could do is add a front/rear e-diff to the haldex system, I'm sure that would help a lot.
How about a revamped awd system to compete with ford and Subaru. The tuned vw engines make the power, they need less understeer and a better fun factor.
Your post is self contradictory. revamped awd system to compete with ford and Subaru...….need less understeer.
Have you actually driven a Subaru? I had a 2001 RS 2.5 and a 2008 STI. Both plowed like a John Deere in corners. My 2015 R has a lot less understeer than the STI.
3:1 odds that the Mk8 R will push 400 HP, but it'll be a hybrid. That seems to be the direction that all the VW holdings are moving towards in the near future, and total electric down the road. As a "halo car" the R can start the public in thinking of the brand in that way.
My stage 1 high torque 93 octane tuned 2018 Tornado Red DSG Golf R already destroyed a stock RS3 lol [emoji106] amongst many others. I'm identical to acceleration, quarter mile times, and top speed, as the 707hp Jeep Grand Cherokee Track Hawk and many others!Audi RS3...

I'm identical to acceleration, quarter mile times, and top speed, as the 707hp Jeep Grand Cherokee Track Hawk and many others!400 would be a lot and i'm a bit skeptical, but a bump up to 350 would certainly be well within the realm of possibilities. Either way, I would be welcoming to an R with more HP and even better if it's a hybrid (just don't put any stupid "eco" badges on the car.)
