German boutique supercar builder Gumpert will expand its Apollo lineup by one more model called the Apollo Speed. It joins its siblings the Apollo, Apollo Sport and Apollo Race, and is built especially for all-out, white-knuckle inducing high-velocity road and track travel.
Like the other varieties, the speed is powered by a twin-turbo 4.2L Audi V-8 making 650, 700 or 800 hp, depending on trim and customer requests. Torque is equally astounding: 627, 645, or 664 lb-ft to be exact. It only weighs 2640 lbs, is made out of lightweight composites and aluminum, and can hit a claimed top speed of over 224 mph (gear and power dependant). If that's not impressive enough, Gumpert says it can accelerate to 62 mph in 3 sec flat and arrive at 124 mph in only 8.9 sec. Power is improved largely by a reengineered less restrictive induction system that feeds the giant snails.
Its exterior still bears the same extra-low slung, lane-filling Gumpert traits, but in speed trim, will flaunt redesigned front fenders, rear taillights and adjustable wing. The mods aid in ultra-high speed runs, so says the automaker. Step -- more like flop gracefully --into the bucket seats (which themselves are molded into the composite monocoque) and joyriders will find full air conditioning, removable steering wheel and DVD multimedia system
