Gumpert Apollo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gumpert Apollo is the first supercar produced by Gumpert Sportwagenmanufaktur GmbH in Germany. The Apollo is a street-legal race car with up to 650bhp weighing less than 1100kg. It has an Audi-sourced, 4.2L V8 engine with two turbochargers.

Prices start at 198.000 EUR (£190,000 GBP[1]) $380,000 USD

Designed to take on the Porsche 911 GT3, it is a mid engined, rear wheel drive two seater constructed on a tubular Chromoly frame, with fiberglass or optional carbon fiber body panels. An Audi 4.2L V8 engine is joined to a six-speed sequential gearbox. Estimated top speed is 360 km/h (223 mph) with 0-100km/h (0–62 mph) reached in 3.0 seconds.

The project is the creation of Roland Gumpert, a former Audi employee who oversaw many a rallying success working as competitions chief in their Quattro division. Gumpert's partner is Roland Mayer, the boss of German tuning house MTM.

Gumpert claims the car has as much downforce as any car that would run in the DTM German touring car championship and hopes to produce 150 Apollo's between 2005 and 2008.
