The hypercar world is about to welcome a new beast – the Apollo Evo. Designed purely for the track, this machine follows in the footsteps of Apollo’s Intensa Emozione (IE) but pushes performance and exclusivity to an even higher level. With just 10 units set to be produced, the Evo is not just another hypercar; it’s a collector’s dream that blends raw power, lightweight engineering, and a racing-inspired spirit.
The story of Apollo begins with Gumpert, a brand that once shook the automotive world with the Gumpert Apollo in the mid-2000s. Known for its record-setting performance, the car could have stood alongside icons like the Pagani Zonda and Koenigsegg CC as a defining hypercar of its era. Unfortunately, Gumpert filed for bankruptcy in 2013, and the spotlight faded.
But the spirit didn’t die. A successor company, Apollo Automobil, brought the Intensa Emozione (IE) to life in the late 2010s – a wild, road-focused hypercar that reignited excitement around the brand. Now, Apollo is celebrating Gumpert’s 20th anniversary with a track-only creation – the Apollo Evo.
The Evo is not designed for casual drives down city boulevards – it is a machine built for racetrack dominance. At its core is a carbon monocoque chassis weighing just 364 pounds, forming part of an ultra-light 2866-pound package. This lightweight build, combined with advanced aerodynamics, helps the Evo deliver blistering acceleration and handling.
Power comes from a 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V-12 engine that pumps out 800 horsepower. With this setup, the Evo rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 208 mph. What’s even more impressive is that all of this performance comes on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires – the same high-performance rubber available to everyday enthusiasts, not slick racing tires.
The hypercar market has changed dramatically since the days of the Gumpert Apollo. Today, track-only cars have become a niche of their own, with big names like Aston Martin, Ferrari, and Bugatti offering their own Le Mans-inspired machines. These hypercars often boast more horsepower or direct ties to motorsport programs, but Apollo’s Evo carves out a space of its own with sheer rarity and exclusivity.
While those larger brands produce dozens of units for wealthy enthusiasts worldwide, the Apollo Evo will be limited to only 10 cars. This makes it not just a performance machine but also an instant collector’s item. For hypercar fans who want something that no one else can get, the Evo stands apart.
More than just numbers and specifications, the Evo represents Apollo’s identity – wild designs, uncompromised engineering, and a focus on emotional driving experiences. Where many modern hypercars lean heavily into electrification or hybridization, the Evo stays true to the old-school recipe of a screaming V-12 paired with low weight and track precision.
For collectors and drivers fortunate enough to secure one of the 10 cars, the Apollo Evo is a statement: a reminder that hypercars can still be visceral, analog, and deeply connected to motorsport heritage.
