Gumpert Apollo Sports Car Beats Top Gear Track Record
The Apollo is a new generation sports car - a street-legal car, ready for the race track.
The manufacturers claim the design is optimized to produce enough "downforce" so that the car could drive upside-down in a tunnel, if driven at sufficiently high speeds (over 190mph).
The Apollo is a street-legal race car made in Germany. It is a mid-engined, rear wheel drive two-seater constructed on a tubular chromoly frame, with fiberglass or optional carbon fiber body panels.
Top speed is 360 km/h (220 mph) with 0-100 km/h (62 mph) reached in 2.7 seconds and 0-200 km/h (120 mph) in 7.9 seconds.
On July 27, 2008 an Apollo Sport was featured on the UK show Top Gear. Richard Hammond and The Stig drove the
Apollo Sport. With a lap time of 1.17.1, the Apollo Sport became the new leader on the Power Lap Board.
In 2009 this record was broken by the
Ferrari FXX.
