1st Gumpert Apollo in U.S.A.

1st Gumpert Apollo in U.S.A.

Speed and Motion can always be counted on to bring us great stuff, but we think they just outdid themselves.

Introducing the 1st Gumpert Apollo in the USA! . In case you're not familiar with the car, it's a mid-engined street-legal race car. It weighs just 2645lbs and its 4.2 liter bi-turbo V8 is sourced from Audi. It churns out 700hp, 626 lb-ft and will do 0-62mph in 3 seconds!

Its estimated top speed is 224 mph, which is 360 kph and which explains why the speedo in the car goes all the way to 400. Insane.

Get a look inside the car's cockpit that's a mix of red and black leather and brushed aluminum (with some very Audi air vents!), and then take a ride through some of SoCal's streets in a car that costs so much that if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

For a full review, who better to put this questionable-looking supercar through its paces than The Hamster himself.
