Not the styling of the Apollo, which I’m sure you’ll agree is right up there in the pantheon of terrifying sights to be seen through the wing mirrors of a Porsche Carrera GT.

So, what we have in the Gumpert Apollo is very probably the supreme track-day car.

 2006 / 2007 Gumpert Apollo - CarzUnlimited.com
Sure, Gumpert Apollo may not have the same exotic ring to it as some of the other machinery here, but its brutal name is apt given its brutish performance and looks.
Developed by Roland Gumpert, the Apollo’s pedigree couldn’t be better, Roland responsible for developing Audi’s first four-wheel-drive cars and was in charge of the Audi Sports Department when Audi was cleaning up in rallying.
The Apollo might not be pretty, but with a claimed top speed of around 224mph it’s certainly deserving of a place in our top ten and has apparently resulted in a very busy order book for the fledgling manufacturer.

Gumpert may sound like the name of a playful childrens TV character but for the staggering hardcore Apollo that could hardly be further from the truth.
Gumpert is in fact Roland Gumpert, the man responsible for the legendary Audi Quattro.
Downforce is epic, with a huge ground effect skirt working in conjunction with aerodynamic aids, which goes some way to backing up Gumpert's assertion that the Apollo could be the first sub 7 minute road car round the nurburgring.
