German manufacturer Gumpert Sportwagenmanufaktur showed their first road car last year at the Geneva show and now they have come a long way. At this year’s Geneva show, they will present the modified version of their racecar dubbed Gumpert Apollo that comes rocking an eight cylinder Biturbo Mittelmotor, which motors the 1220 kg beast from 0 to 100 km/h in only three seconds. Moreover, it gets to the top speed of 360 km/h in a very short time, thanks to the 800 bhp.In terms of power-to-weight ratio, it boasts 0.66 bhp/kilogram, which cam be compared only to a few cars including Koenigsegg CCX (0.68) and the Ultima GTR (0-100-0 mph).The road car employs a chrome molybdenum space frame with an incorporated composite monocoque to take the 800 horses in control. The sporty looks of the car along with the included safety requirements are appealing. The Gumpert Apollo comes for US$390,000.
