Apollo Future Mobility Group Limited (Apollo), formerly known as Gumpert, was at the China International Import Expo this week, showing off its latest offerings. That includes a series of electric concepts that the company hopes will pave a way for it into the future. First and foremost, Apollo is showing off a new step in its history, moving beyond hypercars into the realm of daily transportation with the EVision concept. Details are scant right now, but the four-seater will be nearly 5 meters long and nearly 2 meters wide to maximize its usability. It will also be joined by an EVision X SUV, the company has said elsewhere.

Along with the EVision sedan, Apollo is also showing off its electric crate powertrain. Developed by Apollo Advanced Technologies, it features a three-in-one dual inverter that utilizes the latest 800v silicon carbide technology for high efficiency. It also has two entirely new 800v axial flux electric motors that are mounted within the chassis and coupled to planetary gearboxes to provide a compact transmission unit.

                                                                                             

The demonstrator shows a unique dual-motor layout with torque vectoring, which replaces the heavy differential assembly and gives OEMs that might buy the system significant flexibility. Precisely how much of this technology is in the EVision is unclear at this juncture, but the company is set to start production of the sedan by the end of 2023, per journalist Greg Kable. Returning to the realm of internal combustion, there is the Apollo Project EVO, which is envisioned as the follow-up to the V12-powered Intensa Emozione. The car is intended to deliver “raw emotion without compromise” and to achieve that it features a carbon monocoque, and a handling package.

Three large exhaust pipes suggest big power at the rear, while a suite of active aero elements includes an adjustable rear spoiler, aero fins, and triangular air intakes. Dramatically designed, with plenty of complex angles and bodywork, the car looks like it’s ready to take off. Apollo also showed off a first-of-its-kind all-carbon-fiber chassis that consists of not just a carbon monocoque, but carbon subframes and crash structures, too. The chassis meets FIA LMP2 safety requirements without even requiring a roll cage, thanks to the design of the mono-cell.

Hand-built using high-quality prepreg-autoclave and advanced carbon-fiber technology, it even has a carbon/Kevlar safety cell integrated into the monocoque to keep the fuel cell safe in the event of an accident.
