The Gumpert Apollo S, hmmmm.... That name is too illiterate to remember because it's stupid to say it but despite that, this is probably one of the best Euro Boutique exotics ever made, with the pricing of 250,000 British Pound Sterling. This car has a 4.2L Audi V8 engine with two turbos glued on it and the body is packed with featherweight carbon fiber. Richard Hammond reviewed this on Top Gear and with Stig behind the wheel, the 1:17.1 lap time trounced the likes of the Ascari A10 and the Koenigsegg CCX with TG wing. If that wasn't enough, it set a Nurburgring Lap Time of 7:11.57, which is currently the third fastest, behind the Radical SR8.
Actually, it's not a good car to park at Monaco's casino square with pride because there are so many exotics that can do that job well but the Gumpert Apollo S is all about pride based on its TG Power Lap Time. The Gumpert boffins really chose a route to see the Apollo's true potential and that is Hardcore Street.
"...old Quasimodo here will destroy every supercar alive" -Richard Hammond, Top Gear
It is a brilliant car with the best handling abilities but if you drive one in Manila, the MMDA officer, I'm afraid, will have to confiscate it because it's smuggled.
The Gumpert Apollo S is part of Forza Motorsport 4's AutoVista feature and you will learn more about this car and hear Jeremy Clarkson's reaction to the serious car that has a silly name.
