1. Gumpert Apollo Supercar – World’s Top Speed Cars
Among the world’s top speed cars is the Gumpert Apollo Supercar, the latest addition to the
sports car milieu over the last decade. Sports cars aficionados know that the Gumpert Apollo
when it was introduced in 2006 was a car designed outperform the leading sports cars of that
time. It looks like it has achieved the purpose for which it was built, being seventh in today’s
sports cars speed ranking.
Sports car manufacturing is very competitive one and being at the top 10 fastest cars is an
achievement that many car manufacturers aspire for. In the sports car industry, very few car
models make it to the top ten places in select categories where they are rated. The categories are
mostly based on performance in speed and functionality of the cars.
Beauty is always seen through the eye of the beholder so the rating of sports cars at the aesthetic
level cannot be over-simplified. In this category, the number of units sold would be a good
basis, but not entirely accurate since some sports car models have limited editions and are not
freely sold in the market. This is especially true since many top line sports cars are priced at
more than one million American Dollars. Still the best competitive categories are the ones based
on performance in speed and functionality. The Gumpert Apollo Supercar has performed beyond
the expectations of the designers by consistently being within the top 10 places in the World’s
Top Speed Cars category.

2. The ascribed specifications for the 2009 model called Apollo Speed is a starting speed of 0 to 60
miles per second in just 3.0 seconds and acceleration speed of 124 miles per second in 8.9
seconds. Its rated maximum speed is more than 223 miles per second. The engine is a V8 with
5 valves per cylinder achieving 700 HP at 6500 revs per minute. The engine is enmeshed with
the gearbox, a six-speed
configuration with
synchronized oil cooling
and twin plated clutch.
This particular model was
displayed and featured at
the Geneva Motorshow
and impressed many race
car fans. The 2010
Gumper Apollo Sport was
also featured in the 2010
Geneva Motor Show.
There were some
improvements in design
particularly in the exhaust
system and the rear end of
the car where laps are
installed. The 2010 Apollo
Sports have LED running lights in the front and rear. The latest 2011 Apollo hybrid is set for
testing at the Nurnburgring track where most sports cars are tested for performance in speed and
functionality. The hybrid Apollo is a combination of a smaller 3.3- liter V8 engine and a 100kW
electric motor designed to achieve 630hp.
Since its introduction as a
race sports car in 2006,
the Gumpert Apollo
Supercar has always
maintained its reputation
for speed, culminating to
its being on the list of the
World’s Top Speed Cars.
Its designers have
continuously introduced
new technology into the
car, using carbon fiber in
the dashboard and car
interior, daytime LED
lights, and hybrid engines.

3. Gumpert Apollo – Purism and Luxury in the Interior
The Gumpert Apollo
sports car was first
introduced in 2006 and is
now considered as
among the top 10 sports
car in the world. It is
being considered by
many car collectors as
the most exciting among
the new additions to the
sport car industry. Apollo
designers are currently
refurbishing the car with
Purism and Luxury in the
interior.
Those who know the
history of this decade old car model will understand that the Gumbert Apollo was designed as a
racing car with emphasis on speed in its unique features. It stands flat, horizontally squatting
close to the ground like a road hugger built for speed and stability on the road. With such
features, the Gumbert Apollo can be differentiated from other sports cars in appearance even
from a distance. Since its external appearance is exquisitely different from other cars, designers
are making the Gumpert Apollo conform to the standards of a classic sports car with Purism and
Luxury in the interior of the car.
More are being put
into the car than
was previously
meant to make it a
modern sports car
with the traditional
ambience of
elegance and style.
Carbon fiber frames
are fused into the
monocoque
conveniently setting
the ultra modern
instrument panel in
front of the custom-
made seats designed
for the comfort of
the individual seat

4. user with the upholstery, padding, pedals and steering wheel made according to the customer’s
preference. To complete the modern setting, an air conditioning unit, navigation system, DVD
Player, and back view camera are placed as regular components.
The car’s main designer
Roland Gumpert, who
dreamt of building a car
with a stable and
efficient aerodynamic
design capable of
achieving high speeds,
have built the Gumpert
as a racing car but it has
now evolved into one
of the most respected
sports car. Roland
Gumpert developed his
ideas from his wide
experience as director
of Audi Sport and
racing team overseer, winning 25 World Rally Championship Titles in the process.
The Gumpert Apollo sports car series was started at the beginning of the new millennium by a
company, which Roland Gumpert founded in 2004 with the support of Audi Sport. The first
model was finished in 2006 and immediately became an instant success because of the
integration of aerodynamic designs into a uniquely built body that is clearly distinguishable from
other sports cars.
The performance of the
Gumpert Apollo is
phenomenal since after less
than a decade of
development, it has become
the 7th fastest car in the
world. The original desire
of the car’s designer,
Roland Gumpert has been
fulfilled setting the stage
for further improving the
design of the car and
introducing Purism and
Luxury in the Interior of the
car. Changes in the car’s exterior have also been done, but these are actually alterations resulting
from new installations made to improve the car’s performance. For example, a change of engine
type will lead to alterations in exhaust systems causing a slight change in appearance by
installing the new additional tailpipes.

5. Development of World Cars-Gumpert Apollo
In the development of world
cars, few can equal the success
experienced in producing the
Gumpert Apollo Car. Started
just a decade ago, it is now
being compared to well known
classic cars like the Porsche,
Mercedes Benz, Bugatti,
Mclaren, Ferrari, and the
Jaguar. This is mainly because
the Gumpert Apollo has
achieved the goal that was set
when its development was
started, which was to produce
an aerodynamically stable car
that can efficiently reach high
speeds.
The Gumpert Apollo is currently the 7th fastest car in the world and its performance is at par with
the best sports cars of today. The company was set up in 2004 and the first car designed was
constructed in 2006. Four models of the same series have been built, each individually distinct
from one another but definitely with the same and appearance and structure. Gumpert Apollo has
not been hampered by Engine Development Technology as their engines are supplied by Audi
Sports, which has been supportive of its development. The company’s main development thrust
is on the overall design of a highly efficient sports car.
Development of world cars
like in the case of the
Gumpert Apollo has been
going on since Henry Ford
invented the Model T car.
Cars have been part of the
modern culture for more
than a century and it is an
ongoing human activity
affecting the lives of
millions of people. The
story of Ford Motors is
already a legend and the
same phenomenon has been
repeated in the stories of
General Motors, American
Motors and many other car
companies.

6. The extraordinary
growth of car companies
slowed down with the
1974 oil crisis and soon
after the growth of
Japanese car companies
started. Toyota, Nissan,
Mitsubishi are now by-
words in the modern
Car Industry. The
growth of the
Volkswagen Beatle was
also an exceptional feat
with the VW Beatle
selling fast in the
1970’s. The Beatle was
intended to be a poor
man’s car and became
popular because of that
notion. It has currently lost that distinction and is now a typical high priced car.
The main thing about the development of world cars is the setting up of goals to be achieved in
investing huge amounts of capital involving thousands of manpower. The investments made on
Gumpert Apollo have paid off since the goal of producing a fast and highly efficient car has been
achieved. New directions for the Gumpert Apollo are being set for the car to create a niche for
itself at least in the sports car industry.
Among the top 10 fastest cars in the world, Gumpert Apollo is only one of two that cost less than
$500,000 dollars. Most
luxury sports cars are
priced from $500,000
up to $1,700,000 per
car. Gumpert Apollo is
priced at $275,000 to
$450,000 depending on
the model. Sports cars
are really expensive
and are considered as
luxury items. Few
people can afford to
purchase a sports car
but admiring a
beautiful car like the
Gumpert Apollo is
enough satisfaction for
many.

7. Gumpert Apollo- Car for the Professional Person
Sports cars are luxury
cars that are not within
the reach of the ordinary
wage earners and small
business entrepreneurs.
They are priced at
250,000 dollars up to
2,000.000 dollars per unit
depending upon the brand
and model. There are
sports cars that are priced
at the range of 275,000 to
450,000 dollars, like the
Gumpert Apollo that can
be a car for the
Professional Person.
The potential buyer must
be working in a company
with a high salary, holding an important position like a director or an officer of the company. Big
companies sometimes provide incentives to their executives or directors in the form of company
cars for their use. Sometimes the executive or director is given the privilege to choose which
brand of car he prefers. In such a case, if the budget of the company is within range, the Gumpert
Apollo is the perfect car for the professional person.
Among the many
sports cars in the
market, Gumpert
Apollo is the most
unique in shape and
structure. It stands low
on the ground with
rectangular designs on
the front of the car but
the sides of the front
ends are rounded just
like other classic
sports cars. It looks
like it is hugging the
ground because of the
horizontal designs of
the body, which is
close to the ground.

8. However, the
windbreaker at the
rear gives the car a
look of a jet plane and
its overall look is that
of a racecar ready to
compete. Actually,
the Gumpert Apollo
was designed to be an
efficient aerodynamic
car that can reach
very high speeds. Its
racing track
performance has been
tested to achieve 0 to
60 miles per second in
just 3 seconds. Its
cruising speed reaches
up to 223 miles per second or more. It is really a very fast car in the track and should perform
just as fast on the highway.
The worth of a car or a
sports car in particular,
is based on the prestige
it gives to the one using
it. The Gumpert Apollo
being a unique car
provides the exact level
of prestige fit for a man
of high position in the
corporate world. The
performance of the
Gumpert Apollo in the
racetrack has made it
comparable to cars like
the other sports cars
like the Jaguar or
Buggati.
The Gumpert Apollo is
therefore a true Sports Car whose worth is respected and can give prestige to its user. Using it
gives one a feeling of class and elegance. The doors swing up when opened and the steering
wheel is removable and can be placed out of the way when the user positions himself in the car.
The steering wheel can be installed back with ease after the user is in place in his seat. One can
immediately feel the power of the engine once the car moves out of the garage. Truly, there is no
other ideal car for the professional person than the much-admired Gumpert Apollo sports car.
