I don't like the design, too spectacular for me. But we have to recognize it is a great car!

One of the distributors is right down the street from me and I just had a chance to check it out in person.. Impressive performance figures to say the least, I just think the exterior is overdone and the proportions are out of line.

I'm waiting for Gumpert to try and drive it upside down, they claim that the aerodynamics are so good that it would be able to.

Ground clearance on this car is short of ridiculous (3cm I believe). Its a sensational car but I question the 'street legal' sales pitch

It might have a great performance...but i'm not a fan of the Apollo design... for me it looks very unfinished to me!

But the performance no one can't take it from it! It's AMAZING

I never really cared for the Apollo that much, but after seeing it in person at the Geneva Auto Show I actually kind of like it now.
