Tipping the scales at a mere 2425 pounds,
the Gumpert Apollo is 100% street legal and it is 110% fast. In addition to
the horsepower count, the 4.2L V8 engine courtesy of Audi pumps out an
impressive 627 lbs-ft of torque, making the two-seater quite the competitor for
cars like the Porsche 911 GT3. Featuring a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive
configuration, the Gumpert Apollo is outfitted with either fiberglass or carbon
fiber body panels.
Taking it for a trip around the track, the Fifth Gear guys tell us that the
six-speed sequential shifter is Formula 1-influenced, the estimated top speed is
224mph, and the 0-62mph time is a mere 3.0 seconds.
