Could the Apollo IE be driven on a daily basis?

Absolutely not. This is much more of a track weapon than it is a grocery getter. Indeed, trying to daily it would destroy the car and your sanity.

Technically, you could. People daily race cars. Would it be comfortable or practical? Hell no. He would tell that story, but it would be a story.

If you have enough money to buy an IE, you have enough money to daily it and not cough up _ because of its consequences. Impractical? Yes. Impossible? No.

Driving a lightsaber spreader to drive would be like driving an IE. You could do it — sure — but why would you do it?

With that, I can see it as a weekend car for special drives; daily? It's not asking for trouble and no unnecessary wear and tear.

The real question lies in the why. Why would you want to? But the joy of a car like the IE is its specialness. That magic would be killed with daily driving.

Anything is possible if you have enough money and dedication. Unless you missed the point of the car and voided some warranties.
Will the style that is Apollo IE contribute to hypercar aesthetes?

Definitely! Other manufacturers will follow the IE. In the future, we will see a lot more aggressive and almost alien designs.

I doubt it. There is just too much of the IE for it to be mainstream appealing. In all likelihood it won't inspire much, but if anything I think it may cause some elements, but as a whole thing, I don't think it'll have much influence.
Will the style that is Apollo IE contribute to hypercar aesthetes?

It already has influenced designs. You see some of the newer hypercars are starting to go more angular, more aggressive. The IE was way ahead for its time.

IE's design is not a trend itself rather a culmination of the trends. It’s extreme on existing ideas, but I don’t see it as revolutionary.
Will the style that is Apollo IE contribute to hypercar aesthetes?

It will affect mostly track focused cars than purely road cars, I think. But we probably won't see more extreme aero on mainstream production cars, only on more specialized models.

Where the IE will have more influence is in moving things forward rather than being a homogeneous design cue. That paints a message to manufacturers that they can be bolder with their designs.
Will the style that is Apollo IE contribute to hypercar aesthetes?

It's hard to say. Design trends are cyclical. However, the IE is probably already at the height, if not peak, of the aggressive design trend, and so we may see a move toward cleaner lines.

I do not believe that the IE will have a lasting influence, but it will be memorable. The place in terms of car culture is too specific to a certain place and time.
Does Apollo IE’s extreme design come at the cost of functionality?
30 January 2025 10:12
No way! Every curve and angle put onto that beast is for a reason. It is pure function sculpted for art.
Does Apollo IE’s extreme design come at the cost of functionality?

Honestly, practicality isn’t going to kill someone by driving a IE. This is truly a track weapon that happens to look batshit. Function is its form.
Does Apollo IE’s extreme design come at the cost of functionality?
30 January 2025 10:12
Certainly it does sacrifice some functionality, particularly for road use. That’s not to say what the car is for. It is extreme in every sense.
Does Apollo IE’s extreme design come at the cost of functionality?

The design is, on the other hand, super functional — as intended. It isn't for grocery runs, it's to dominate tracks and turn heads.
Does Apollo IE’s extreme design come at the cost of functionality?
30 January 2025 10:12
It's a bit of both. The aero is functional aero but some elements are more for show than anything else. It’s getting to harmony between engineering and art.
