Some boutique supercar companies make a name for themselves but fizzle out after a few years. A handful of those come back only to suffer the same fate once again. Apollo is a company reborn after the death of former carmaker Gumpert. With the Intensa Emozione hypercar, it appears the company might...

Apollo is the latest player on the hypercar scene. Reborn from past supercar glory, its Intensa Emozione, or IE, is meant to be a return to a time when supercars were truly intimidating machines. A lot of that stems from the use of a 6.3-liter V-12 engine that produces 788 horsepower and revs to more than 9,000 rpm. But as Alex Goy from Carfection/Jalopnik found out, Apollo is ready to unleash even more power and fury if the customer so desires. As you can see in the accompanying video, Ryan Berris, general manager of manufacturing for Apollo, says the company has done a feasibility study...

Apollo is just a day out from the reveal of its track-focused supercar, the Intensa Emozione, and to build the excitement the Chinese-backed, Italian-based firm has revealed the car’s monocoque chassis. The chassis is made entirely from carbon fiber and looks good enough to sit in an art installation as a piece of sculpture. Sadly, it will be mostly concealed within the skin of the new IE. Also visible are the exhaust pipes from the car’s mid-mounted V-12 engine, which flow into 3-pipe set of exhaust tips. Peak output of the car should be close to 800 horsepower. The choice of...

Apollo arrives in Geneva with 986-hp Arrow supercar
Gumpert Sportwagenmanufaktur at one point was the maker of the fastest road car in the world. The car was the Apollo Sport, which in 2009 set the fastest lap time for a production car at the Nürburgring. Even today the time of 7:11.57 remains one of the fastest set at the Green Hell...

There was a time when the fastest car in production came from a little-known German firm with the unusual name Gumpert. The car, labeled the Apollo Sport (shown below), managed to lap Germany’s Nürburgring in a time of 7:11.57, a time it achieved all the way back in 2009 and still considered one of the fastest laps at the track for a production car. What made the effort all the more impressive is that the time was achieved using a car with only rear-wheel drive. Nevertheless, Gumpert went bankrupt three years later and its assets sold off to Chinese group Consolidated Ideal...
