BRINGING RACETRACK PERFORMANCE TO YOUR GARAGE
Redefining Speed and Innovation
PRL Motorsports was born from a singular, powerful vision—one that has driven us to push the limits of automotive performance since day one. Our foundation was built on the racetrack, and our passion for speed and engineering excellence continues to define everything we do today. From our deep-rooted history in motorsports to our industry-leading product development, we are committed to redefining what is possible in the world of performance tuning.
Racing Roots: Where It All Began
Our story began in 2007 as PRL Racing, a small group of friends united by a relentless drive to chase faster lap times. What started as a passion project trackside soon evolved into something greater. Led by Patrick R. Linn, PRL officially took shape just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with a focus on racing, performance, and innovation. The team quickly earned a reputation for engineering excellence, building high-powered race cars, and pushing boundaries in motorsports.
- 2007: PRL Racing Nissan S13 runs 9-second 1/4 mile passes
- 2009: PRL Racing & Mazworx Nissan S15 achieves 6-second 1/4 mile times
As our expertise grew, so did our ambitions. By 2011, PRL Racing became PRL Motorsports, expanding from trackside tuning into full-fledged product development and fabrication. We began offering our specialties through tuning, installation services, and high-performance component manufacturing, quickly earning recognition in the Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and custom fabrication markets. Over time, our focus shifted toward developing complete platform performance product lines, specializing in intercooler systems, intake systems, turbocharger systems, exhaust components, throttle body/intake manifold adapters, and more.
Despite our growth and evolution, one principle remains unchanged:
Never settle, always push for the best possible outcome.
Proven Performance, Relentless Innovation
PRL Motorsports has built a legacy of performance excellence, competing in some of the most demanding racing events while continuing to innovate in the aftermarket performance industry. Some of our early milestones include:
- 2011: PRL Motorsports enters the open-wheel racecar circuit in SCCA-sanctioned events, Grand-Am series, and Mazda series
- 2014: Honda Day Si Shootout 1st Place Winner
- 2015: Nissan GT-R reaches 203.62 MPH at a 1/2 mile event
- 2016: Nissan GT-R runs 8.32 seconds at 171.43 MPH in the 1/4 mile
- 2018: Nissan GT-R improves to 8.25 seconds at 167.9 MPH
- 2019: PRL Motorsports tunes the first 10th Gen Civic to break into the 10s
By the end of 2018, PRL Motorsports made a strategic decision to shift its focus entirely to manufacturing, eliminating customer installation and tuning services. This shift allowed us to concentrate our resources on engineering and producing industry-leading performance products, making sure our customers and community receive the best possible components for their vehicles.
