Gumpert, a German car company, is building several supercars around Audi Components. Their first product to be sold is a production version of the Apollo mid engine supercar that was seen earlier this year.
The Car is powered by an Audi V-8 with twin turbo blowers. This provides the car with 650 horses to push it to 60 mph in just 3 seconds flat. This is what Gumpert advertises anyway, it’s not yet been tested.
The car has a carbon fibre body that sits on a chrome molybdenum alloy and steel frame. With this setup, the Gumpert has a better power to weight ratio than the McLaren F1.
To keep all this speed in check the car features 15 inch disks on all wheels held which can be brought to a stop by 8 piston calipers. This is of course aided with a ABS system.
It also uses an under tray to create downforce which means it doesn’t need to have massive wings to hold it to the ground.
