Each Stage 2 Clutch is engineered to specifically support engine modification with increased clamp load and different material choices across the individual Stage 2 configurations. Each configuration includes all of the benefits of a DXD Racing Stage 1 Clutch Upgrade but also includes additional benefits specific to each.

APR is pleased to present DXD Racing clutches for your Porsche, Audi or VW. DXD Racing clutches are a new product line developed by DXD and tested by APR across many different friction products, pressure plate loads and flywheel designs with one goal in mind, to create clutch systems not only with perfect balance and symmetry but also to perfectly complement APR’s engine modification program without compromise in reliability, drivability or enjoyment.

The success of our combined efforts has produced a performance clutch product line of the highest quality and performance available for Porsche, Audi and Volkswagen vehicles, DXD Racing clutches.


Each clutch system is specially matched to specific driving styles, uses and power levels to insure the needs of each client are accomplished. Often times, a compromise between drivability and pedal feel must be made to achieve power handling. If you are drag racing you will have different requirements for clutch operation than someone who wishes to participate in daily spirited driving or endurance racing. One clutch certainly does not fit all and APR has done the homework for you to recommend a clutch system that meets your specific goals.

Each DXD Racing clutch is offered in either a Daily, Endurance or Drag configuration to accomplish the power handling of each of APR’s engine performance Stages specifically to the uses of the driver.


This system features a Heavy Duty Pressure Plate modified for a puck style disc with no cushion between the linings to keep the clutch pedal travel short and quick. The puck design disc reduces rotational mass and total drive surface area while increasing pounds per square inch on the surface of the friction material. This combination minimizes inertia, accelerating the transfer of torque from the engine to the wheels. The friction material used for this race application is Graphite Impregnated Ceramic. This compound exceeded all other friction materials when testing for durability, reduced chatter, reduced heat transfer and an increase in torque capacity. Recommended uses are drag racing, drifting and limited street.
