# Supercars Inspired by Toys? Gumpert Apollo By Bianca | Published 2008-05-20 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gumpert-apollo References: [gumpert.de](http://www.gumpert.de/eng/index_html.html) The **[Gumpert Apollo](http://www.gumpert.de/eng/index_html.html)** is one dynamic supercar! Although it looks like it was inspired by a toy car, the ground-shaking 650 HP engine will attest it is definitely not intended for child's play. Hitting top speeds of 360 km/h (224 mph), in a mere three seconds, this mean machine catapults from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph). "It has always been a dream of mine to have a car that has so much downforce, such aerodynamic efficiency that you could drive on the roof of a tunnel at high speed – and this car can," Roland Gumpert says of the Apolo. One thing's for sure: Germans sure know how to build drool-worthy supercars! Caught your breath after viewing the gallery?
