The Apollo Speed will feature a fully enclosed CAS underbody (carbon / aluminium sandwich) and wheel caps (fixed at the front and rotating at the back) and will be powered by Audi-derived 4.2 liters twin-turbo V8 units.

The Apollo project was started by German manufacturer Gumpert in 2001 with the goal of creating street-legal cars ready for the race track. The design is based on the first drawings made by Marco Vanetta.

Compared to the standard Apollo, the Apollo Speed will feature enlarged wheel-arches, a front splitter and new air intakes, as well as a two-color paint scheme.

Thanks to the weight of just 1,200 kg and to a power output of 800 hp / 900 Nm of torque, the projected performances are a 0-100 km/h sprint in 3.0 seconds and a top speed of 360km/h.

The Apollo Speed will be unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.
