A Rare Breed

Germany has been known as the home of fast cars for decades. Weirdly, there are no hypercar automakers based there… except for Apollo. For those who remember, Apollo was formed by former Audi employee, Roland Gumpert. Unfortunately the original Apollo Automobil went bankrupt many years ago. However, the company was revitaliased by a Hong Kong-based investment company. The rejuvenated automaker shot into the limelight with the release of the Intensa Emozione (IE) a few years ago.

Lighter and More Extreme

The Apollo Evo has even more extreme looks than its sibling. The Evo’s appearance lies somewhere between an alien insectoid and Le Mans racer. Its extreme appearance is fashioned entirely out of carbon-fibre and 3D printed materials. This includes the 3D printed titanium exhaust, which reportedly costs a small fortune. The company says that the new carbon-fibre monocoque is lighter and stiffer than the IE. The Evo’s tub weighs just 165 kg. In addition, the front and rear subframes are also made of carbon-fibre. Its total mass is quoted as 1 300 kg. Other lightweight options include forged aluminum wheels and carbon-ceramic brakes.

The extreme appearance is backed up by a 6,3-litre V12. The naturally aspirated engine produces 597 kW and 765 N.m of torque. A six-speed sequential transmission sends power to the rear wheels only. As a result, the 100 km/h sprint takes just 2,7 seconds. The Evo’s top speed is quoted as 335 km/h.
