Gumpert may sound like the name of a playful childrens TV character but for the staggering hardcore Apollo that could hardly be further from the truth.
Gumpert is in fact Roland Gumpert, the man responsible for the legendary Audi Quattro. Indeed, Audi supplies the Apollo's power, courtesy of a highly tuned version of the RS6's V8. Performance is at the McLaren F1 level, the most telling figure being a sub 9 sec 0-200kmh sprint. Downforce is epic, with a huge ground effect skirt working in conjunction with aerodynamic aids, which goes some way to backing up Gumpert's assertion that the Apollo could be the first sub 7 minute road car round the nurburgring.
It may sound like a Le mans car but you still get creature comforts such as aircon, satnav and a reversing camera for your £180,000. |
