The black Gumpert in the video is the S model, no badging on it and the large wing is sitting at the dealer. There are 3 models, the basic with 650, sport with 750-800 then the R with 850hp+ 0-60 is sub 3sec top speed 225 and the car weighs the same as a mini copper.

So all models are pretty quick then
I'm figuring my Mini would move about pretty well if it had 600 more horsies under the hood

I like the fact the apollo seems docile just cruising. What gets me is how fast it got and was gone, that car moves out. Sounds great too.

Gumpert FTW, although from now on Im just going to call it the Apollo then the corresponding HP # (apollo 750) ...cuz "gumpert" is the lamest name in the hypercar business (no offense).

I would go for the LP, the gumpert is too hard core for my liking as if the Lambo isnt delicate or low to drive in our kind of roads.

Yes, I think the Ascari is a nice close substitute in this niche category. Clarkson seems to love it, I like the private test track in spain as well.

Well, here you go...

Our camera car; I took this shot up at Pebble Beach on a foggy day.
