  • 2M Designs Restyles Gumpert Apollo S As Ironcar

    2M-Designs-Gumpert-Apollo-S-Ironcar-THUMB2M Designs have captured our hearts with its project on Jaguar XF. The tuners are now moving forward with their next exceptional project – they are transforming the iconic Gumpert Apollo S and making it look like an Ironcar.

    In fact, in our opinion, the wrapping experts have done something exceptional – this Apollo S really looks like a superhero itself, or can be perfectly featured in the Ironman movies. To go into details, the car has been wrapped in intensive Centurion Red Chrome, but the roof and bonnet were kept in Black Chrome.

    2M Designs have not included regular rims. Instead they have coated them with liquid rubber. Furthermore, carbon film structure refines the two outer mirrors; the hood grille cover was removed and replaced with shatterproof Lexani glass; and headlights were covered with a 5% tinting.

    At last, the exclusive rims were matched with Pirelli tyres. This outfit perfectly matches the untamed character of the Apollo S. It produces 780 horsepower (574 kW) and has a Vmax of 360 km/h.

  • 2013 Geneva Motor Show: Gumpert Apollo S

    Gumpert has introduced Apollo S at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The manufacturer has a lot of issues, but now everything is alright and this is their latest creation.

    The Apollo S is powered by a twin-turbo 4.2 liter V8 engine with 750HP (552 kW) at 6,000RPM and 900Nm (664 lb-ft) at 4,000RPM. 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of more than 322 km/h (200 mph). The more difficult 0-200 km/h is covered in just 8.8 seconds.

    Gumpert offers three gearbox variants: a 6-speed fully-synchronized, a sequential with manual gear shift lever and an automatic electronic gear system with paddle shift.

    Some of the highlights are chromium-molybdenum steel tube frame and a carbon/Kevlar monocoque with a carbon body shell and carbon/aluminum underbody. All this means superb strength and body rigidity and low weight.

    The car rolls 19” or 20” alloy wheels with central locking and fitted with ultra-performance tires. Behind the wheels, there are 6-piston calipers front/ rear with 378mm ventilated discs.

    There is a removable steering wheel, LED daytime running lights, carbon fiber rear wing, double wishbone suspension for both axles, front anti roll bar, adjustable ground clearance and a high-performance ABS system.

    In pure “Gumpert spirit”, the Apollo S is built with one and only purpose – PURE PERFORMANCE!
