# Slick Superhero Cars 2M Designs Uses Iron Man as Inspiration for the Gumpert Apollo S By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-03-12 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gumpert-apollo-s References: [carbuzz](http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2014/3/11/2M-Designs-Reimagines-Gumpert-Apollo-S-as-Iron-Man-Car-7719100/) & [gumpert.de](http://www.gumpert.de/) The creators behind [Iron Man](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poco-x7-pro-iron-man-edition) are now responsible for more than just a box-office hit: 2M Designs recently used the film for aesthetic inspiration on the Gumpert Apollo S. Sleek, sophisticated and unequivocally powerful are just a few adjectives to describe the latest design of the Gumpert Apollo S. Red and silver are the main colors employed by 2 Designs, and the good part is interested individuals can also deck out their ride in a similar fashion for 6,800 Euros (around $10,500 USD). The look was a huge hit at the [Geneva Auto show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/model-a7l) for 2014, and for good reason. The combination of coloring, a good waxing job and a little elbow grease for finishing produced an auto with meticulous shine to match its mechanics and interior. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Superhero-inspired Car Designs:** Designing cars with inspiration from popular superhero characters can appeal to fans and car enthusiasts alike. - **Customizable Car Exteriors:** Offering the option for customers to deck out their rides with a unique aesthetic can increase personalization and appeal for consumers. - **Luxury Car Aesthetics:** Exploring and implementing high-end, sophisticated design elements into luxury cars can attract affluent consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive Industry:** Car manufacturers and designers can incorporate superhero-inspired designs and customizable options to expand their customer base and appeal to a wider audience. - **Entertainment Industry:** Collaborating with car manufacturers to create vehicles based on popular superhero characters can provide new marketing and branding opportunities for entertainment companies. - **Luxury Goods Industry:** Incorporating sleek and sophisticated design elements into luxury cars can attract affluent consumers who desire high-end, visually appealing products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Superhero Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pininfarina-b95-gotham.md) - [Superhero-Themed Hypercar Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pininfarina.md) - [Bat-Inspired Luxury Hypercar Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-hypercar.md) - [Reimagined Road-Legal Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roadlegal-supercar.md) - [Stealthy Fantasy-Themed Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/f117-4wd-covenant.md) - [Superhero-Themed Dynamic Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wakanda-forever-1.md) - [Video Game-Like Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milano-vision-gt.md) - [Uniquely Personalizable Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/765lt-spider.md) - [Audaciously Powerful Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerful-hypercars.md)
