When the son of Zeus, the war, which is responsible for the victory and that is for male beauty submission God, he is now the namesake of the breathtakingly uncompromising super sports car that aesthetics and functionality like no other.The 2006 Gumpert Apollo of a perfect Synthesis of road and rail car. It evokes passion and driving pleasure beyond all expectations. With 650 horsepower, 224 miles an hour top speed and acceleration 0-62 km / h in just three seconds to find you are a long way, an alternative to Apollo. The complete package can be in a cost-benefit ratio is not available to be matched in this exclusive class. As pure high-performance sports car with racing qualities which is also approved for use on the road, the Gumpert Apollo sets new standards.
Roland Gumpert, managing director and driving force behind the company that builds the car has a production facility, the environmental engineering excellence combined with a wide-ranging and auto-racing skills. Experts in the industry, I know Gumpert named. Mid-1970, the long-standing Audi manager was the driving force behind the development of the vehicle “Iltis”, the original forerunner of today’s “Quattro”. In the years Undere his management Audi won a total of 25 World Rally Championship races and was the four-time winner of the World Rally Championship.

An unusual design:
The silhouette of the Gumpert Apollo, which was optimized after testing several times after the wind tunnel, reflects its above-average performance. In his profile, the Apollo-dynamic performance widened by their dimensions and their slender, long and wide shoulder lines. The mid-engine layout is emphasized by the cockpit, which is clearly in line with the front of the vehicle, and the long wheelbase, both factors ensuring optimum driving dynamics. Massive air inlets and outlets on the front and side airbags front and rear doors, leave no doubt as to its potential. They supply the two turbochargers and high-performance braking system with enough fresh air to ensure that the best car runs for the duration of the race.

Dynamics redefined:
The Gumpert Apollo’s suspension was developed to ideally complement the clever aerodynamics of the body that are in unusual driving dynamics. The Apollo is taut but not hard and offers the driver and passenger an extraordinary high level of comfort despite the fact that purely designed for performance. It requires the full attention of the pilot, but not overwhelm him thanks to its ultra-precise and predictable handling even at top speed. A round ideal weight 42-58 percent between the front and rear axle from it.

Proven performance in a new dimension:
The impressive ability of high-performance eight-cylinder engine is based on the proven V8 from Audi based units. This engine in standard configuration is optimized for use in racing and road vehicles and produces 650 hp and a turbo engine. Weighing only 430 pounds, plays an important role in ensuring the Apollo is an ideal weight and its fascinating driving dynamics.
Via the two exhaust gas turbochargers, the combustion chambers are force-fed fresh air that was previously cooled to the ideal temperature in large intercooler.
The sequential six-speed manual gearbox, the Formula 1 know-how guarantees the efficient implementation of the energy produced.

Purism and luxury in the interior:
Light weight was the highest priority and is carried by high-tech materials. For instance both the monocoque and the integrated instrument panel are made of carbon fiber.
The seat position is individually set for every customer with padding, upholstery, adjustable pedals and steering column. The Gumpert Apollo is a custom sports car, and in accordance with this principle, customers can design the interior to meet their preferences, be it pure performance or something more luxurious.
The air conditioning system guarantees the perfect interior temperature during the trip. The high-end navigation system with DVD player and sound system helps you from A to B, offering in-car entertainment. The backward facing camera integral part of the system helps the driver when reversing or, as Gumpert says, ‘Let him how quickly caught the cars disappear from view.
