GUMPERT APOLLO SPORT
It is one of only a handful of super sport cars and after its
debut at Geneva's international Motor Show in 2006 it was clear: the apollo is
a synthesis of dynamic and design with pure driving pleasure and unique
performance. On the road it speeds like a god and on the race track it cries
out to be challenged by an opponent that can match its breathtaking
acceleration and incomparable handling. Now, it is due to get a worthy
competitor out of its own stable. At the 77th Geneva Motor Show, the Gumpert
Sportwagenmanufaktur will present the apollo sport to the wide public.
The apollo sport is the rebel amongst the super sport cars.
Its bodywork combines sexy curves with potent edges and angles and aims for
uncompromising aerodynamics. A clear demonstration of the principle form
follows function. Its challenging sporting design derives from the
requirement to built a street legal racing car, whose number one priority is to
provide extraordinary performance on the circuit, but at the same time
embodying a vehicle suitable for daily use.
The highest importance was attached to safety: the tubular
space frame in chrome-molybdenum steel with integrated safety monocoque
fabricated in carbon-fiber passes all crash-tests regulations, while a cashbox
offers additional protection. The gaping air intake stub over the roof and on
the rear signals power, dynamics and superiority. The eight cylinder, bi-turbo
mid-engine with up to 800 horsepower is capable of catapulting this 1200 kg
missile from 0-100 km/h in only 3 seconds.
The apollo sport is equipped with an extended aerodynamic
package and, in contrast to the three part spoiler of the apollo, possesses a
racing wing which gives even more down force and pushes the Apollos's maximum
speed up to 360 km/h.
As you can guess, it is not for nothing that this cars is
named after the fierce Greek God.
The two-seater also convinces from the inside, with its
sporty and elegant alcantara interior, and offers air-condition, CD-player,
navigation system and reverse view camera as standard equipment. A two-layer
metallic finish available in any conceivable color, gives this bolide a
particular luster. As a special accessory the apollo is equipped with an
airjack, a pneumatic jacking pad.
The standard version of the apollo sport costs 240 00 Euros
