The Gumpert Apollo picture thread
The Official Gumpert Apollo Picture Thread
The Gumpert Apollo is a sports car produced by German automaker Gumpert Sportwagenmanufaktur GmbH in Altenburg. The Apollo is a 2,400 lb to 2,600 lb(depending on options), street-legal race car. It is a mid-engined, rear wheel drive two-seater constructed on a tubular chromoly frame, with fiberglass or optional carbon fiber body panels. Gumpert claim the design of the Apollo is optimized so that the car could drive upside-down in a tunnel if driven at sufficiently high speeds (over 190 mph), but this has not been tested.
The Apollo uses a 4163 cc bi-turbo inter-cooled version of the Audi V8 engine. The 90° V8 has a closed-deck light metal crankcase with dry sump lubrication. The light metal cylinder heads have five valves per cylinder, four overhead camshafts, VarioCam Direct variable valve timing on the intakes, and hydraulic valve clearance compensation. The double-flow exhaust system has four oxygen sensors to monitor the gas mixture, and a 3-way catalytic converter. Modern controls include an on-board diagnostic system, eight-coil electronic ignition, sequential multipoint fuel injection, and an electronic (drive by wire) accelerator system.
There are 3 engine types available:
Base version (2011) - approximately 650 PS (641 bhp)
Sport version (2011) - approximately 750 PS (740 bhp)
Speed version (2011) - approximately 800 PS (789 bhp)

In this picture you can compare some differences between the 2007 model and 2011 model. Both are the Sport version. The 2007 model had 700 horsepower, the 2011 model has 750 horsepower.
