Apollo EVO: The New Benchmark in Track-Day Hypercar Absurdity
For enthusiasts seeking the ultimate track-day weapon that eclipses the visual extravagance of the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 and offers more raw performance than the Aston Martin Valkyrie LM, the Apollo EVO has arrived. Crafted by Germany’s Apollo Automobil—the same engineers responsible for the formidable Gumpert Apollo and the track-focused Apollo Intensa Emozione—the EVO represents the pinnacle of track-day extremism. Its angular, predatory design, adorned with aggressive fins and a distinct Star Wars aesthetic, makes the car appear to be defying physics even at a standstill.
Unrivaled Performance and Engineering Precision
Apollo claims the EVO is more than just a showpiece; it’s a proven performer that can reach exhilarating speeds exceeding 208 mph while accomplishing the 0–60 mph dash in approximately 2.5 seconds. Developed in collaboration with HWA AG, the renowned German motorsport engineering firm behind the spectacular Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 EVO II tribute, the EVO utilizes an enhanced iteration of the 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V-12 found in the Intensa Emozione. This powerhouse revs to 8,500 rpm, generating a staggering 800 horsepower and 564 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a Hewland six-speed sequential transmission, managed by electro-pneumatic paddle shifters that provide instantaneous gear changes, keeping the engine at the heart of its power band.
The suspension system draws directly from race car technology, featuring pushrods and adjustable dampers at both the front and rear axles. The standard braking setup comprises carbon ceramic discs measuring 15 inches in diameter front and rear. The car is fitted with center-lock forged alloy wheels, 20 inches at the front and 21 at the rear, enveloped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires. For those truly committed to lap times, Apollo offers a race-ready package including steel brakes and 18-inch wheels equipped with Michelin race slicks, ensuring maximum grip and stopping power on the track.

Lightweight Construction and Aerodynamic Dominance
The heavily sculpted carbon-fiber exterior is built upon a new carbon-fiber monocoque that weighs a mere 363 pounds—10% lighter than the Intensa Emozione while achieving a 15% increase in structural stiffness.
The Apollo EVO features more rocket-style fins than any production car since the 1958 GM Firebird III concept, yet it eschews a massive rear wing. This is thanks to its sophisticated active aerodynamics system, centered around a hydraulically actuated rear wing. This wing can deploy into the airflow in less than one second and continuously adjust its angle of attack, optimizing aerodynamic balance and downforce. At 200 mph, Apollo estimates the aero system generates up to 3,000 pounds of downforce, significantly exceeding the car’s 2,900-pound curb weight. This aerodynamic supremacy is crucial for stability at high speeds and in corners, providing the driver with unparalleled confidence when pushing the car to its limits. The exterior design is a masterpiece of functional art, with air channels and diffusers integrated seamlessly into the bodywork, guiding airflow to maximize downforce and cooling while minimizing drag.
A Bespoke Cockpit for the Elite Driver
The interior of the EVO is a minimalist, driver-focused sanctuary constructed almost entirely from carbon fiber and ultra-light ‘bionic’ aluminum structures. These structures absorb and distribute loads from the monocoque, enhancing stiffness and occupant safety. The lightweight bucket seats are rigidly bolted to the monocoque, while a sliding pedal box accommodates drivers of various heights, ensuring the perfect driving position. The compact steering yoke is designed with optimized grip geometry, providing precise control and feedback to the driver. Every element of the cabin has been meticulously engineered to reduce weight and enhance performance, creating an environment where the driver can connect with the car on a visceral level.
The cabin features a multi-function digital display that provides real-time telemetry data, including engine vitals, lap times, and aerodynamic pressures. The steering wheel incorporates a range of controls for vehicle settings, suspension adjustments, and paddle shifters, allowing the driver to fine-tune the car’s performance without taking their hands off the wheel. A removable carbon-fiber center console houses additional controls for driving modes and vehicle systems. The overall design of the interior reflects the car’s extreme performance capabilities, with a clear emphasis on function and driver engagement.
Uncompromised Exclusivity and Final Specifications
Just 10 units of the Apollo EVO will ever be produced, each one fully bespoke and tailored to each owner’s exact specifications. The level of customization is virtually limitless, allowing owners to choose their preferred color schemes, materials, and performance enhancements. The starting price for this exclusive hypercar is approximately $3.5 million, subject to prevailing Euro/USD exchange rates and applicable local taxes and fees. The first vehicle is already under construction and is slated for delivery in the first half of this year.
