2017 Apollo N

First things first – the Apollo N(with an Android Car Gps) is an acquired taste. While slightly altered compared to past Gumpert products, the same overall aesthetic remains. That means there’s enough vents, vortex generators, and winglets scattered around the exterior to make an F1 car blush. Apollo claims that “no other street legal super sports car generates more downforce than the Apollo N,” and I believe it. The whole design looks like it was styled by an algorithm, and anyone who likes it would probably get all hot and bothered by a very detailed wind tunnel graph readout. Standout features? Take your pick. Up top is an unpainted carbon fiber airbox to help the engine guzzle air, which is complemented by additional intakes located near the rear wheels. Like the Gumpert Apollo, the doors open upwards in a gullwing fashion, which I’m sure was originally done for aero reasons, rather than additional drama. In front, the intakes are now bigger, and there are new unpainted carbon louvers on the front fenders. In back is a new rear wing, which uses a “swan-mount” design for additional lateral stability. Continue down the rear fascia, and you’ll find a double diffuser, plus quad exhaust pipes. A set of aluminum cast wheels take up residence in the corners, staggered at 19 inches in front and 20 inches in the rear. A two-tone black and white paint job covers whatever isn’t exposed composite, while the brake calipers are finished in red. Of course, Apollo will paint yours whatever color you’d like if you ask them nicely. Inside, things are pretty basic for the two-seater. The layout and look is basically unchanged over the outgoing Gumpert, excluding a new instrument cluster and adjustable digital display. Driver and passenger fall into fixed seats that are basically one with the rear bulkhead, with carbon fiber showing everywhere in all its weaved goodness. The steering wheel is removable and manually adjustable, four-point racing harnesses keep you stationary, and a fire extinguisher is placed near the passenger. The push-button starter is located on the overhead console. Despite an overt focus on extreme performance, the Apollo N still has the basic amenities of a road car. Buyers get stuff like interior lighting and power windows, and there’s Anthracite-colored Alcantara adorning the seats, A-pillars, foot wells, and headliner. There’s also climate control, a Car Dvd Player, onboard navigation, a rear backup camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and a 12-volt outlet, plus a few small storage bins around the seats. Like the exterior, the interior can be customized with new colors upon request. If installing an Android Car Stereo in your car, that would be great!
