Top Marques Monaco presents: Gumpert Apollo Sport
The Principality Monaco and the God Apollo, two magical words that are guiding thru a universe full of dreams. Completely dissociated from each other and still so connected
The principality, a sovereign pearl with winding coasts surrounded by the Mediterranean sea, enriched with glamour and the history of glorious car events. Every two years the gentlemen pilots meet to participate in the Old-timer Grand Prix and every May, the sound of the Formula 1 cars echo from the mountains.
But not enough, there is a unique Motor-Show just before the Formula 1, the Top Marques Monaco. A meeting place for the fastest of all fast cars, traditional brands inspire to dream about the myth of history and meet young fellows that boast with their horsepower loaded motors.
There is no other place like Monte Carlo for the Haute-Couture-Show of the super sport cars. Over 60 brands gather in and around the Grimaldi Forum. But one sticks out, not because of its sexy curves or its joyful accelerating V8-motor, but for its superior driving conditions that predestines this bolide more than every other to turn its laps on the circuit in Monte Carlo: the Gumpert apollo sport.
Apollo and apollo sport are developed and perfected by Audis former motor-sport-manager Roland Gumpert. They give a clear demonstration of the principle "form follows function. Its challenging sporting design derives from the requirement to built a MOT legal racing car, whose number one priority is to provide extraordinary performance on the circuit, but at the same time embodying a vehicle suitable for daily use. A sport car coexistent made for the winding roads of the Corniche and to conquer the circuit in Monte Carlo.
The highest importance was attached to safety: the tubular space frame in chrome-molybdenum steel with integrated safety monocoque fabricated in carbon-fiber passes all crash-tests regulations, while a cashbox offers additional protection. The gaping air intake stub over the roof and on the rear signals power, dynamics and superiority. The eight cylinder, bi-turbo mid-engine with up to 800 horsepower is capable of catapulting this 1200 kg rocket from 0-100 km/h in only 3 seconds.
The apollo sport is equipped with an extended aerodynamic package and, in contrast to the three part spoiler of the apollo, possesses a racing wing which gives even more down force and pushes the apollo sport’s maximum speed up to 360 km/h. As you can guess, it is not for nothing that this cars is named after the fierce Greek God.
The two-seater also convinces from the inside, with its sporty and elegant interior, and offers air-condition, CD-player, navigation system and reverse view camera as standard equipment. A two-layer metallic finish available in any conceivable color, gives this bolide a particular luster. As a special accessory the apollo sport is equipped with an air jack, a pneumatic jacking pad.
The apollo is a synthesis of dynamic and design with pure driving pleasure and unique performance. On the road it speeds like a god and on the race track it cries out to be challenged by an opponent that can match its breathtaking acceleration and incomparable handling. It is eager to demonstrate this at the Top Marques, the only super sport car exhibition where the cars can be driven as well.
The standard version of the apollo sport costs 299.500,- ? plus VAT.
