Hey guys! Today we stopped by HPA Motorsports here in Langley, British Columbia to drive the HPA400 Mk7 Golf R. In Business for 29 years, they've consistently played a massive role in the VW/Audi tuning arena on a global level. We also sat down with Marcel Horn, owner of HPA, to get a better sense of what the brand and their products stand for. This Mk7 Golf R is one of the tidiest tuning packages we've personally seen, and one that will stand the test of time through torture and tough real world driving conditions. Enjoy!

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...

@@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.

@SL0000WSIX 4 жыл бұрын
@@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.

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 ....
