(from Gumpert Press
Release) Gumpert celebrates two world premieres in Geneva
In the past, the sports
car manufacturer GUMPERT has mainly been known for building race
cars for the street. At the 82nd Geneva International Motor Show,
the exclusive manufacturer premieres the
GUMPERT apollo r, a purebred race car with the brute thrust of up to
860 hp. As the second world premiere, GUMPERT presents the special
edition GUMPERT apollo enraged.
As the heraldic animal
of the sports car manufacturer GUMPERT, the griffon also decorates
the distinctive swing doors of the apollo enraged. The mythical
creature is part of the designer paintjob and foils that visually
emphasise the link between the enraged and the apollo r. “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. This genetic connection
becomes tangible through a performance boost to 780 hp and a
reduction of the dry weight to 1,175 kg. Next to the flag design
embroidery on the seat and headrest, the digital LCD instrument
panel is the most noticeable special feature on the interior.
“Ok, so perhaps it is a
bit crazy to take the most extreme, barely still street legal
vehicle and make it even more extreme,” says Roland Gumpert about
the limited special edition enraged – the unleashed and furious
apollo. “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.” GUMPERT intends to prove just how
well, or how fast, the two vehicles actually realise this philosophy
with another record time on the “Nordschleife” race course this
year. And as in 2009 when breaking the record for the first time,
GUMPERT will approach this together with its tyre supplier and
technology partner Michelin.
