2009 Gumpert Apollo Speed

okay, according to license plate and front spoiler it's definitely the speed model, we can see in the pics here. but for the nordschleife lap it was obviously prepared to produce more downforce, for example by adding the huge rear spoiler. and now the question: what's the differnce between the speed and the sport model? actually it is only the setup, wether it shall produce track-suitable downforce or less downforce for high-speed-runs. so the shown speed model, which is fitted with track-downforce-setting, is actually a sport model. and that's why i'm (and also sportauto) saying, that the the 7.11 belong to the sport model.

@Georg

Yeah it was a speed but have a look at the pic of it from the sport auto article. It has a huge rear wing on it there that is not part of the speed spec.

The car was a speed but it was in sport spec by the looks of it.

@ tobe...

ABG - AP 2 .... the licens plate of the Apollo Speed ...now look at the licens plate of the Apollo which did the 7:11min

seriously, guys, this car didn't lap the nordschleife in 7.11. actually it hasn't lapped it yet at all. the 7.11 was set by the apollo sportdriven by florian gruber gaining the sport auto trophy title. and if you don't believe me, read this article: http://www.sportauto-online.de/news/nordschleife-rundenzeitenrek ord-gumpert-apollo-sport-florian-gruber-1382398.html
even though you may not speak german, but if you look carefully, you can see, that they're always talking about an appolo sport and that the name apollo speed isn't mentioned once! and watch the pics, does this rear spoiler look like the little one on the apollo speed?not at all! okay, do what you want, but this laptime is wrong for this car.

Whats the US price of this in Dollars?

it wasn't the apollo speed that achieved the 7.11 on the ring. it was an apollo sport. on the pics it may looks like the speed version bcause of the color and the front spoilers. but it has the big wing and according to the sport-auto report it was the apollo sport (which was lately tested by sport-auto test driver horst von saurma in 7.24. the difference to the 7.11 is obvious because von saurma had just a limited number of laps (2 laps!) to test the car). apollo speed is just a little modification to the apollo sport to achieve a better topspeed, but has less downforce. so please delete the lap time on this car and add it on the apollo sport, cause the ring record was surely not set with the topspeed (and lower downforce) model.

0 - 300: 26,7s

Time according to SportAuto: http://www.cargraphic.de/stepone/data/downloads/b3/11/00/SportAu to_1009.pdf .

don´t think so, I bet they have spend enough time in a windtunnel to get the best aerodynamic blance for the car... A wing on the back woul most likely ruin the balance...this car has a giant difusor creating costless downforce at the rear axle

will a wing on the back back make it fast

I think that is awesome !

anybody have an idea of 0-300kph.

either do i

everybody thinks its ugly. i dont't.

it is a amazing laptime!!!
Koenigsegg is a good example that numbers means nothing at a race track.. the Koenigsegg CCR and CCX play in the same weight range of the Apollo plus 100hp extra power... but both are 22s slower than the Apollo speed.
Good Ring laptimes are more than high hp and low weight... Konigsegg is a good example how wrong it can go and the Nissan GT-R is a good example that high weight and low power (compared supercars) can still reach mindblowing laptimes after enough track testing

You all act like this wouldnt beat the Record at the Ring, is it realy that surprising that it beat the ACR? no its not, is got 100bhp more, 1100lbs lighter, is it really not that hard to believe, so stop being amazed.

no 30car/year of all Apollo versions Apollo/Apollo S/Apollo R and Apollo Speed...

7min 11sec around nordschleife.
thats faster than a murcilago, koenigsegg or even a zonda.

is the gumpert good at circuit

30cars/year of the apollo speed?

@Razor no number limitation, Gumpert produce currently ~30cars/year of the Apollo at the moment the waiting time for customers is 4-6month after order

Do you think the spoiler could be removable on the other Apollo models?

This car looks good how many will be made.

Oh and the Apollo R would get stomped by the Saleen S7 Competition.

Now the Saleen S7 Turbo has something to stomp on, where is that American Hero on European circuits!
