Apollo Gumpert Sport Updates

Saturday, 28 May 2016 09:49 PM A Gumpert Apollo crashed during the 2016 Gumball 3000 rally, highlighting the risks associated with high-performance driving. The incident occurred on a curved section of the road from Edinburgh to Manchester. Despite the crash, the Apollos reputation for speed and agility remains intact. I think such incidents remind us of the importance of safety in high-speed driving.

Friday, 18 March 2016 10:00 AM The Apollo Gumpert Sport, now under the umbrella of Apollo Automobil, has severed ties with its founder Roland Gumpert. This move marks a new era for the company as it continues to develop and market the Apollo series. The change is expected to bring fresh perspectives to the brand. I think this could be a positive step, allowing the company to innovate further.

Tuesday, 01 March 2016 09:17 PM At the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, Apollo Automobil unveiled the Apollo N, an updated version of the Gumpert Apollo. This new model is a tribute to the Nürburgring, where the Apollo Sport set a record lap time of 7:11.57 in 2009. The Apollo N retains the high-performance DNA of its predecessor. I believe this update will appeal to fans of the original Apollo.

Monday, 20 February 2012 07:08 AM In 2012, Gumpert teased a new supercar ahead of the Geneva Motor Show, following the success of the Apollo series. Although not specifically about the Apollo Sport, this indicates the companys ongoing commitment to high-performance vehicles. The teaser hinted at a more refined and civilized version of their supercars. I believe this shows Gumperts adaptability in the market.

Saturday, 15 August 2009 09:46 AM Formula One driver Adrian Sutil crashed a Gumpert Apollo during a test run at the Nürburgring, highlighting the risks even professional drivers face with such high-performance vehicles. The damage was not severe, and the car could be repaired. This incident did not deter from the Apollos reputation for speed and agility. I think its a reminder that even the best drivers can have off days.

Saturday, 01 August 2009 07:54 PM The Gumpert Apollo Sport achieved a record lap time at the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 2009, completing the circuit in 7:11.57 minutes. This feat was driven by Florian Gruber and showcased the cars exceptional performance capabilities. This record has been a benchmark for other high-performance vehicles. I think this record underscores the Apollo Sports status as a top-tier supercar.

Thursday, 05 March 2009 06:13 AM Gumpert unveiled a faster version of the Apollo, named the Apollo Speed, at the Geneva Motor Show. This new variant was engineered to handle high-speed runs better than its predecessors. The Apollo Speed built on the success of the Apollo Sport and Apollo Race models. I think this continuous improvement shows Gumperts commitment to pushing performance boundaries.

Sunday, 01 May 2005 07:53 PM In a retro review, the Gumpert Apollo was praised for its raw performance and racing credentials, despite some comfort and practicality issues. The car, with its 650bhp Audi 4.2 V8 engine, was described as a road-legal racer. The review highlighted the need for comfort improvements to make the car more appealing to a broader audience. I believe the Apollos performance makes it a unique offering in the market.

Friday, 15 April 2005 08:35 AM Roland Gumpert, the founder of Gumpert, played a significant role in Audis racing successes, including overseeing the first major racing wins for the Audi Quattro. This background in racing technology influenced the development of the Apollo series, known for its high-performance capabilities. I think Gumperts racing heritage is a key factor in the Apollos success.

Monday, 21 March 2005 12:36 AM The Gumpert Apollo Sport was noted for its extreme performance, with the ability to reach speeds that felt almost illegal on public roads. The cars aerodynamic package and powerful engine made it one of the quickest cars on the track. However, it lacked in comfort and luxury features, which were seen as necessary improvements. I believe the Apollos performance is its strongest selling point.
