A super secretive Gumpert model was headed to the 2012 Geneva Motor Show and when the wraps came off, onlookers were made privy to the luscious, new Apollo R and a scintillating special edition, the Apollo Enraged. The Apollo Enraged not only succeeded in being kept a secret until only a day before Geneva, but it will also succeed at being one of the most exclusive (the sole Aventador J takes the cake on exclusivity) with only three units being produced of the super car. The new Apollo Enraged is powered by a 4.2 liter V8 twin-turbo engine that delivers a total of 780 HP and a peak torque of 678 lb-ft. It sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and to 124 mph in just 8.7 seconds. Take that, Mr. Exclusive Aventador J! The car is a mixture of aluminum and carbon fiber with Vortex generators, a carbon rear wing, and carbon louvers for wheel ventilation. It also features an F1-style airbox, an air lift system, LED daytime running lights, and a new set of aluminum alloy wheels with center locking and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. The interior receives a flag design embroidery on the seats and headrests, and a digital LCD instrument panel. "Even though the Apollo Enraged is street legal, it nevertheless carries the racing sports genes of the Apollo R," is how Roland Gumpert describes the limited special edition. "Ok, so perhaps it is a bit crazy to take the most extreme, barely still street legal vehicle and make it even more extreme. But the idea behind the Enraged, just like the Apollo R itself, embodies our philosophy and our understanding of pure German speed with absolute consistency." UPDATE 03/08/2012: Check out the new set of live images from the car’s official debut in Geneva! .
26 comments: Gumpert Apollo Enraged Comparing it with Lamborghini Aventador, I choose this Enraged. Though the appearance of this Apollo is unappealing, it’s also dynamic and efficient.
 I’ve never imagined that Apollo will look like this. The exterior is strong, and it overflows with power.
 Never have I appreciated Apollo’s looks, but I have neglected this stuff after a while when I came to know the fact that Enraged is one of the most powerful cars, which has ever been produced recently.
 This newcomer Apollo Enraged certainly dropped a knife on Aventador’s reputation as the current fastest supercar! From its acceleration time, you can already tell that it is competitive.
 The record-breaking performance is worth being compared with Aventador J, but I’m not so sure about its appearance. I still think that Aventador J is looking fiercer and stylish.
