Gumpert Apollo – A Speedy Monster Under $325,000

The Gumpert Apollo will certainly catch your attention when it explodes into your rearview at 224 mph. The first creation of former Audi Motorsports boss Roland Gumpert, this mid-engined, carbon-fiber-bodied rocket ship looks like an exile from the Le Mans starting grid. And Herr Gumpert makes no apologies for its racecar compromises, like having to remove the steering wheel to get in the driver seat. Power comes from a twin-turbo 4.2 liter V-8 from Audi’s RS6 that’s been bumped up to 650 hp through partner, German Audi-tuning meisters, MTM. Feed in the power with the car’s heavyweight clutch that you will hit 60 from 0 in less than 3 seconds. Is there a hybrid Apollo in the horizon? At the recent Nurburgring 24 Hour, Gumpert entered a Hybrid electric racer with a 3.3 liter V-8, coupled to a 100kW electric motor delivering 630 hp. We bet it had electrifying performance.

List price: $318,000
Engine: 4.2 liter twin turbo Audi V-8
Horsepower: 650 hp @ 6500 rpm
Torque: 627 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm
Transmission: 6 manual
0-60: 2.9 seconds
Top speed: 224 mph
Weight: 2,645 lbs
Length: 176 inches

    It might sound weird but my browser doesn’t seem to be able to display your article rightly… It looks like a whole chunk of if is not correctly displayed and the layout of the page doesn’t appear to be right. Can you confirm that this post has been set up for Opera?

    I think one of your adverts caused my browser to resize, you might want to put that on your blacklist.

    Could someone explain what the author meant in his continue paragraph? He makes an awesome start but lost me halfway with the article. I had trouble following what the author is trying to say. The start was great but I feel he needs to use writing a better bottom line.

    I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
