Does Apollo IE’s extreme design come at the cost of functionality?

Functionality is relative. Yeah, for a normal car, that’s impractical. For a track-focused hypercar? It's perfectly functional.

I would say it improves the very thing that makes most sense – performance. It'd stick to the track like glue, sure, but being a pain in the ass to park..
Is $2.7 million too much to pay for the Apollo IE?

Absolutely justified. Buying a car is not only just a car in this case. It is indistinguishable from art and engineering.

No way. In the end it is just a car. For such an amount of money you could buy a fleet of super cars and have more fun.

It's justified by the market. Nothing is worth more than what people are willing to pay for it. Simple supply and demand.

I might argue it is overpriced, but not by much. It’s not worth a premium of that amount for the engineering, materials, and exclusivity.

Justified for the buyer, maybe. For the average person? Absolutely insane. That’s the point; this is not for the average person.

What’s this about desire, and not justification. To know if it is worth it, you’re not our target market.

It’s very reasonably priced for what it is, considering the amount of hand-craftsmanship and the limited numbers.
But will Apollo IE have any meaningful impact on hypercar design?
30 January 2025 10:09
Definitely. It’s the most aero you can do with a road legal car. Other manufacturers will take note.
But will Apollo IE have any meaningful impact on hypercar design?
30 January 2025 10:09
I doubt it. It’s just too extreme for most tastes. It's not going to be a trend, I can tell you that. There will have been dust blown in someone's eye; that's all. It will be remembered as a curiosity.

I can't see that it's going to have much of an impact at all on mainstream design, but it might — it could influence something that can go into track-focused cars.

Rather it will influence bold design choices rather than copies of specific style.
But will Apollo IE have any meaningful impact on hypercar design?

It's already having an impact. Go on to see just how extreme some of the newer hypercars are getting with their aero.
But will Apollo IE have any meaningful impact on hypercar design?
30 January 2025 10:09
I think its influence is going to be subtle. On future performance cars we might see some more intricate aero details.

Instead, the IE is more likely to be remembered as a design dead end, rather than as a pioneer.
But will Apollo IE have any meaningful impact on hypercar design?
30 January 2025 10:09
But it may be its enduring influence that owes more to the use of materials and the application of construction techniques than to the styling itself.
But will Apollo IE have any meaningful impact on hypercar design?
30 January 2025 10:09
It does have an effect, though that will not be a positive one. But it may lead designs to do the complex unnecessarily.
But will Apollo IE have any meaningful impact on hypercar design?
30 January 2025 10:09
I can't see how the IE will have a widespread impact: its purpose is so specific they'd have to design the machine around it here.
With hybrid hypercars now the flavor of the day, is the Apollo IE's naturally aspirated V12 passé?
30 January 2025 10:09
Not at all. They can’t beat the sound and response of a NA V12. A dying breed is one that needs to be celebrated.
