Gumpert Apollo Supercar – World’s Top Speed Cars

Among the world’s top speed cars is the Gumpert Apollo Supercar, the latest addition to the sports car milieu over the last decade. Sports cars aficionados know that the Gumpert Apollo when it was introduced in 2006 was a car designed outperform the leading sports cars of that time. It looks like it has achieved the purpose for which it was built, being seventh in today’s sports cars speed ranking. Sports car manufacturing is very competitive one and being at the top 10 fastest cars is an achievement that many car manufacturers aspire for. In the sports car industry, very few car models make it to the top ten places in select categories where they are rated. The categories are mostly based on performance in speed and functionality of the cars. Beauty is always seen through the eye of the beholder so the rating of sports cars at the aesthetic level cannot be over-simplified. In this category, the number of units sold would be a good basis, but not entirely accurate since some sports car models have limited editions and are not freely sold in the market. This is especially true since many top line sports cars are priced at more than one million American Dollars. Still the best competitive categories are the ones based on performance in speed and functionality. The Gumpert Apollo Supercar has performed beyond the expectations of the designers by consistently being within the top 10 places in the World’s Top Speed Cars category.

The ascribed specifications for the 2009 model called Apollo Speed is a starting speed of 0 to 60 miles per second in just 3.0 seconds and acceleration speed of 124 miles per second in 8.9 seconds. Its rated maximum speed is more than 223 miles per second. The engine is a V8 with 5 valves per cylinder achieving 700 HP at 6500 revs per minute. The engine is enmeshed with

the gearbox, a six-speed configuration with synchronized oil cooling and twin plated clutch. This particular model was displayed and featured at the Geneva Motorshow and impressed many race car fans. The 2010 Gumper Apollo Sport was also featured in the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. There were some improvements in design particularly in the exhaust system and the rear end of the car where laps are installed. The 2010 Apollo

Sports have LED running lights in the front and rear. The latest 2011 Apollo hybrid is set for testing at the Nurnburgring track where most sports cars are tested for performance in speed and functionality. The hybrid Apollo is a combination of a smaller 3.3- liter V8 engine and a 100kW electric motor designed to achieve 630hp. Since its introduction as a race sports car in 2006, the Gumpert Apollo Supercar has always maintained its reputation for speed, culminating to its being on the list of the World’s Top Speed Cars. Its designers have continuously introduced new technology into the car, using carbon fiber in the dashboard and car interior, daytime LED lights, and hybrid engines.

Gumpert Apollo – Purism and Luxury in the Interior

The Gumpert Apollo sports car was first introduced in 2006 and is now considered as among the top 10 sports car in the world. It is being considered by many car collectors as the most exciting among the new additions to the sport car industry. Apollo designers are currently refurbishing the car with Purism and Luxury in the interior. Those who know the

history of this decade old car model will understand that the Gumbert Apollo was designed as a racing car with emphasis on speed in its unique features. It stands flat, horizontally squatting close to the ground like a road hugger built for speed and stability on the road. With such features, the Gumbert Apollo can be differentiated from other sports cars in appearance even from a distance. Since its external appearance is exquisitely different from other cars, designers are making the Gumpert Apollo conform to the standards of a classic sports car with Purism and Luxury in the interior of the car. More are being put into the car than was previously meant to make it a modern sports car with the traditional ambience of elegance and style. Carbon fiber frames are fused into the monocoque conveniently setting the ultra modern instrument panel in front of the custom-made seats designed for the comfort of the individual seat

user with the upholstery, padding, pedals and steering wheel made according to the customer’s preference. To complete the modern setting, an air conditioning unit, navigation system, DVD Player, and back view camera are placed as regular components.

The car’s main designer Roland Gumpert, who dreamt of building a car with a stable and efficient aerodynamic design capable of achieving high speeds, have built the Gumpert as a racing car but it has now evolved into one of the most respected sports car. Roland Gumpert developed his ideas from his wide experience as director of Audi Sport and

racing team overseer, winning 25 World Rally Championship Titles in the process. The Gumpert Apollo sports car series was started at the beginning of the new millennium by a company, which Roland Gumpert founded in 2004 with the support of Audi Sport. The first model was finished in 2006 and immediately became an instant success because of the integration of aerodynamic designs into a uniquely built body that is clearly distinguishable from other sports cars. The performance of the Gumpert Apollo is phenomenal since after less than a decade of development, it has become the 7th fastest car in the world. The original desire of the car’s designer, Roland Gumpert has been fulfilled setting the stage for further improving the design of the car and introducing Purism and Luxury in the Interior of the car. Changes in the car’s exterior have also been done, but these are actually alterations resulting from new installations made to improve the car’s performance. For example, a change of engine type will lead to alterations in exhaust systems causing a slight change in appearance by installing the new additional tailpipes.

Development of World Cars-Gumpert Apollo

In the development of world cars, few can equal the success experienced in producing the Gumpert Apollo Car. Started just a decade ago, it is now being compared to well known classic cars like the Porsche, Mercedes Benz, Bugatti, Mclaren, Ferrari, and the Jaguar. This is mainly because the Gumpert Apollo has achieved the goal that was set when its development was started, which was to produce an aerodynamically stable car that can efficiently reach high speeds.

The Gumpert Apollo is currently the 7th fastest car in the world and its performance is at par with the best sports cars of today. The company was set up in 2004 and the first car designed was constructed in 2006. Four models of the same series have been built, each individually distinct from one another but definitely with the same and appearance and structure. Gumpert Apollo has not been hampered by Engine Development Technology as their engines are supplied by Audi Sports, which has been supportive of its development. The company’s main development thrust is on the overall design of a highly efficient sports car. Development of world cars like in the case of the Gumpert Apollo has been going on since Henry Ford invented the Model T car. Cars have been part of the modern culture for more than a century and it is an ongoing human activity affecting the lives of millions of people. The story of Ford Motors is already a legend and the same phenomenon has been repeated in the stories of General Motors, American Motors and many other car companies.

The extraordinary growth of car companies slowed down with the 1974 oil crisis and soon after the growth of Japanese car companies started. Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi are now by-words in the modern Car Industry. The growth of the Volkswagen Beatle was also an exceptional feat with the VW Beatle selling fast in the 1970’s. The Beatle was intended to be a poor man’s car and became popular because of that notion. It has currently lost that distinction and is now a typical high priced car. The main thing about the development of world cars is the setting up of goals to be achieved in investing huge amounts of capital involving thousands of manpower. The investments made on Gumpert Apollo have paid off since the goal of producing a fast and highly efficient car has been achieved. New directions for the Gumpert Apollo are being set for the car to create a niche for itself at least in the sports car industry. Among the top 10 fastest cars in the world, Gumpert Apollo is only one of two that cost less than

$500,000 dollars. Most luxury sports cars are priced from $500,000 up to $1,700,000 per car. Gumpert Apollo is priced at $275,000 to $450,000 depending on the model. Sports cars are really expensive and are considered as luxury items. Few people can afford to purchase a sports car but admiring a beautiful car like the Gumpert Apollo is enough satisfaction for many.

Gumpert Apollo- Car for the Professional Person

Sports cars are luxury cars that are not within the reach of the ordinary wage earners and small business entrepreneurs. They are priced at 250,000 dollars up to 2,000.000 dollars per unit depending upon the brand and model. There are sports cars that are priced at the range of 275,000 to 450,000 dollars, like the Gumpert Apollo that can be a car for the Professional Person. The potential buyer must be working in a company

with a high salary, holding an important position like a director or an officer of the company. Big companies sometimes provide incentives to their executives or directors in the form of company cars for their use. Sometimes the executive or director is given the privilege to choose which brand of car he prefers. In such a case, if the budget of the company is within range, the Gumpert Apollo is the perfect car for the professional person. Among the many sports cars in the market, Gumpert Apollo is the most unique in shape and structure. It stands low on the ground with rectangular designs on the front of the car but the sides of the front ends are rounded just like other classic sports cars. It looks like it is hugging the ground because of the horizontal designs of the body, which is close to the ground.

However, the windbreaker at the rear gives the car a look of a jet plane and its overall look is that of a racecar ready to compete. Actually, the Gumpert Apollo was designed to be an efficient aerodynamic car that can reach very high speeds. Its racing track performance has been tested to achieve 0 to 60 miles per second in just 3 seconds. Its cruising speed reaches up to 223 miles per second or more. It is really a very fast car in the track and should perform just as fast on the highway.

The worth of a car or a sports car in particular, is based on the prestige it gives to the one using it. The Gumpert Apollo being a unique car provides the exact level of prestige fit for a man of high position in the corporate world. The performance of the Gumpert Apollo in the racetrack has made it comparable to cars like the other sports cars like the Jaguar or Buggati. The Gumpert Apollo is

therefore a true Sports Car whose worth is respected and can give prestige to its user. Using it gives one a feeling of class and elegance. The doors swing up when opened and the steering wheel is removable and can be placed out of the way when the user positions himself in the car. The steering wheel can be installed back with ease after the user is in place in his seat. One can immediately feel the power of the engine once the car moves out of the garage. Truly, there is no other ideal car for the professional person than the much-admired Gumpert Apollo sports car.
