Hello,
In an military air force base near Ingolstadt, a high speed tests session took place last week. My new speed record is now 348 km/h in the Apollo. I can tell you this is very fast but the car is extremely stable. MTM Engine had 710 hp and 81 mkg for this session. More has been measured already at the dyno.

Frederic,
Sounds awesome! So I take it that you personally got to drive the BEAST? That's incredible that you had the opportunity to drive a car pre production! What are you overall opinions of the car?
At first I wasn't at all impressed with the appearance of the Apollo but I'm starting to warm up to it. Sort of a German Pagani...

I have the chance to know personally Roland Gumper, the CEO of GMG and man behind the Apollo project (with Roland Mayer from MTM as well as a few crazy people fom the Ingolstadt connection !!!). Roland knows that I drive TT BImoto or RS6 Clubsport.
I really love this car. I will say it is more like a McLaren F1. Enzo, Zonda, MC12 are clearly the competitors of the Apollo.
I hope to post more pictures very soon.
The Apollo has been measured with rain tires on wet track at Hockenheim 0-100 km/h in 3,2sec ! ! !
Cheers from Paris,
Frederic

255 in the front

And this is not enough for more power and torque......
