I would make it more daily drivable. It’s great extreme performance, but a little more comfort would’ve made it even more appealing.

Nothing. It’s special because of its uncompromising nature. The only thing that would change it is to make it another generic supercar.

I'd give it a better name. It just doesn't sound sexy enough for a supercar.

Throw a few more modern techs in there. But keep the raw driving feel, and add some driver aids on the road.

Make it electric. Can you imagine that insane aero package with instant electric torque!?

Improve the interior quality. There’s performance, but it is a bit kit car inside compared to other supercars.

Better distribution and support can come if you partner with a bigger manufacturer. The trouble with the car is it's great, but buying and keeping it is a pain.

Maintain the performance, but make it more eye catching. It has to have that wow factor to play against the Italians.

Nothing major, just refine everything a bit. Get rid of the rough edges, while maintaining the core experience intact.
Is the Apollo Gumpert's claim that it can drive upside down at high speeds genius marketing, or just plain ridiculous?

It's brilliant marketing! Who cares if it's true? That got people talking about the car, and that's all that matters.

I think it's ridiculous. The whole brand becomes less credible when you make untested claims like that.

Fun thought experiment demonstrating the car’s extreme aero. Meant to be taken not literally, but cool to think about.

Maybe genius marketing to car enthusiasts, but probably confusing or off putting to regular luxury car buyers.

It's the kind of claim that every car fan has a 12 year old inside of them that finds appealing. Unrealistic, but fun to imagine.

I would say it’s clever engineering flexing. In essence, they're saying, "Our aero is so good, in theory this is possible."

Other supercar claims aren’t any more ridiculous. At least it’s grounded in some aerodynamic principles.

The problem is that it's untestable, and that makes it feel like empty boasting. Yet, they should have made more verifiable performance claims.
Is Apollo Gumpert the peak of analog supercar design?
30 January 2025 10:04
Definitely! It is one of the last true driver’s cars. No fancy electronics, just pure mechanical grip and driver skill.

The Lexus LFA is analog design at its peak, I would argue. It’s a more refined machine but it’s still an incredibly pure driving experience.

The peak can't be the Apollo, it is too extreme. It's a better balance of usability and analog feel, something like the Porsche 911 GT3 (997 generation).
