The Gumpert Apollo S was produced from 2005 to 2012 and belongs to the first generation of vehicles in this series. The Apollo was developed and designed by Roland Gumpert, the founder of Gumpert Sportwagenmanufaktur. Gumpert, a former Audi motorsport director, focused on lightweight construction and performance in the development of the Apollo. Under the Gumpert Apollo S bodywork lies a 4.2-liter V8 twin-turbo engine from Audi, which in the top variant produces up to 750 horsepower (740 hp). This immense power allows the Apollo to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in under three seconds and reach a top speed of about 224 mph (360 km/h). Through the use of technologies from motorsport and a carbon and aluminum body, the Apollo combines extreme performance with low weight.
