Gumpert Apollo Sport

[Ant]

This time we have what can only be considered a street legal race car. The company that makes it, Gumpert, claims that it was made with the possibility of it also being a daily driver, even if its real place is on the racetrack. You can also order it any color you want.

Engine: Audi 90º V8
Displacement: 4,163 cc
Aspiration: Twin turbo
Power: 800 bhp
Weight: 1,200 kilo (2,645.5 lbs)
Drive: Rear-wheel drive
0 - 60 mph: 3.0 seconds

[townman]

Thats wicked

[alfacool]

Looks like something out of Blade runner

[Dinocoopay]

Cool just for the name,"I drive a Gumpert"..........

seriously uncool. ugly, horrible shed of a car, it may be quick but so's dihorreha

Seriously uncool. Incredibly ugly and trying way too hard.

I'm sure that on a track it's in its element. However, tooling around the car park at Morrisons you're going to look like a twonk.

[Roswell]

Shocking!

[symon]

Cool because of what it does on track.

It is a triumph of function over form and is ugly because of the aerodynamics.

Stupid name & trying waaaay too hard to ever be cool.

[Scudetto]

surely a 'gumpert' is a condition you're diagnosed with?

Falls at the first hurdle.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Wot he said!

Seriously uncool for all sorts of reasons.

First: its overbearing hideousness. Imagine how anyone would look driving one on the street.

Second: the name. Even "Apollo" sounds like a naff 90's kit car.

Third: the use of the Audi engine relegates it below real supercars (McLaren F1 notwithstanding).

Fourrth: I've seen roadtests in mags that suggest it doesn't quite deliver all it says on the tin.

[mudhut]

It's no oil painting for sure, but cool.

[BigFoot]

Not sure I'd get this over any other track-focused supercars. But still, I voted cool for the effort.

[Gaz]

Seriously uncool.

Stupid name, ugly as hell and the company that imports them is based in the worst town in all of England. Burnley, Lancashire

[fredzedex]

summed up perfectly, thanks HST

I think it's more A10 Warthog than F4 Phantom myself.



Shades of RS200?

It's like a German Noble powered by Audi?

It's for the track and therefore competes more with more track focused cars?

I suspect it struggles on the bangs per buck criteria?

Turbos?

[PJC]

Uncool, the styling looks like a kids radio controled car

PJ

[SPPalfa]

I would like one for the track but not the road

[Darkrider]

Almost had to dock points for the use of an Audi engine but hell that is gorgeous!

[Mike69]

I think anyone who can afford one, will have a different daily driver. Although it would be a bit of fun to nip down the shops in!

To pick up on the A10 Warthog idea, I have a theory that function over form often can be beautiful, especially when it is done on such an uncompromising basis. The Apache helicopter is another example of this.

I'm saying cool.

I think you're right about form over function.

You'd still look like a complete *** if you turned up at ASDA in this though.

[Kevin Slegg]

It's got a great specification - but is too hardcore to be a cool roadcar - so uncool despite what it does and how it does it
