It's great looking - but needs a better name than Forest Gumperallo ;)

I can't understand how they want to sell such an ugly car :x

Not even the name is cool :mrgreen:

Have you seen their logo? At least that's really cool.

Here's the official site, as you can't really type in "gumpert" or "gumpert apollo" in search engines and expect to find the official site. I have to search for "sportwagenmanufaktur" everytime to get to this site.

As for the car, I don't think it looks bad at all. It looks all funky...in a crazy sci-fi way.

Here's some specs
14ft long
6.5ft wide
3.6ft tall without the air intake

biturbo 4.2L V8
650hp @ 6000rpm
627lb/ft @ 4500rpm
max 7500rpm

6-speed DSG
clutch diameter 2 x 200mm

*manufacturer claim
max. speed 360km/h
0 – 100 km/h 3,0 s
0 – 200 km/h 8,9 s

lovely fat wheels/tires
10J x 19
13J x 19
255/35R19
345/35R19

No matter how ugly it is (which i think it's not) it's built by an ex-audi motorsport personnel and if it's able to do those things claimed above, then it's pretty astonishing...maybe not...but stilll...i think it looks good.

The video is quite cool. I love that sound coming from the 2 turbos..... And both chics are very hot, specially the first one. :love:

I don't understand much of the language on the site but I think the engine is from Audi. Am I right ??

How much does it weights ??? They seem to be quite confident with those numbers. Just 3sec from 0 to 100kmh ?!?! :shock: And the maximum speed seems a bit high :roll: I guess I have to wait to see it tested somewhere.....
