Lightbulb Rare Supercar has landed in US -> Gumpert Apollo!!

Gumpert Apollo!! Thanks to our friends over at European Touch in Huntington Bch for their hospitality! Went to check out this Supercar yesterday and with close to 800hp and approx 2500 lbs, this beast will be tearing up the US roads very soon! As of now, this is the ONLY Gumpert Apollo Sport in the states. If anyone has some time, stop by and visit the dealer as the car is sitting in the showroom.

In-car and on-road video will be happening very soon...stay tuned.

For now, enjoy a first glimpse...

Pretty unique car. Client was trying to get one into the states a while ago and could not.

Heinz Herald Frenzen has been racing an Apollo for the past couple months. They are working hand in hand to create a "green" supercar.

It's a Yes! Roadster, 355hp out of a 3.2 turbo. Neat unique car right there.

That car is all kinds of badass... The falcon thing looks like a Griffin, which reminds me of family guy when Peter is trying to make up a fake name- "Pea-Tear-Griffin".

What's the story on the Yes! Roadster (production numbers, drivetrain, weight, target market)? Any more pics?

Yes! is from Germany, a mid-engine rwd all out sports car (Yes actually stands for Young Engineers Sportscar), very light (under 2200lbs) and powerful. 0-60 under 4 seconds for the later turbo model, oh yeah, top speed around 175mph.
Originally started with a 1.8 turbo, then 3.2 and now a 355hp 3.2 turbo (VW engines).
Great car, looks are a bit out there but I don't hate it.

I think it looks pretty cool. How much do they go for?
