The $390,000 Gumpert Apollo created by German Company Gumpert Sportwagenmanufaktur features an eight cylinder Biturbo Mittelmotor of Audi heritage that projects the 1220 kg race car from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.00 seconds and with 800 bhp offered, it speed up very fast to its 360 km/h maximum speed.
The car uses a chrome molybdenum space frame with an integrated composite monocoque to achieve its remarkable weight and the stiffness to keep 800 horses under control. The provocative sporty design developed from the company’s intention to build a racing car with all the safety requirements covered so it could run on the road. Extensive work has been done to ensure stringent German crashtest requirements are exceeded, and though the first model was criticised for its interior being a little too race oriented, the Alcantara makeover of the two-seater interior includes air conditioning, CD-Player, navigation system and rear camera. More details when the car is released.
