Sports intake

A sophisticated modular APR sports intake for the EA888.4 engine. It is a high-performance intake with complete air routing from the inlets in the front cross member to an enlarged turbo inlet with 109 mm piping.

The system is fully configurable. We added a plastic top cover to the basic open intake, which closes off the whole area around the air filter and creates a shielded ram-air intake.

The car gains not only more power from the larger volume of air fed to the turbocharger, but also a distinctive blow-off sound that underlines the overall character of the R.
