The first thing you'll notice about this Tiguan R will undoubtedly be the stickers. Plastered with a collection of funny tidbits to provide viewers with a good laugh, this Volkswagen doesn't show anything but its owner's sense of humor. You probably won't assume much of the vehicle in front of you. For the standard Tiguan, you'd be right, but this Tiguan isn't standard. It's a sleeper.

Hidden under the hood lies a potent punch, delivered by an APR K04 kit. Designed to give VW's less performance-minded offerings substantial leaps of power and torque, with lightning fast response times and smooth delivery, the K04 kit turns the standard into the surprising. We teamed that kit with an APR intercooler capable of supporting the Tiguan's new power levels and lowered it on a set of H&R springs to bring it closer to the ground. This Dub is now a mix of lighthearted fun with serious results, a cool SUV with sports car power behind it, a Golf R in Tiguan's clothing.
