    $2.7 Million Apollo IE Is Ready For Production

    We’re all aware that Apollo Automobil has revived the company what used to be known as Gumpert with the Apollo Intensa Emozione (IE). However, it has been more than 2 years since the prototype was shown to petrolheads all over the world leaving us wondering, when is something actually going to happen with this crazy V12 beast? Good news, though, because the Apollo IE is ready for production.

    Don’t expect the same car as the prototype, though, because a substantial amount has changed for the production version. First up, is an all-new chassis. Apollo has teamed up with German motorsport gurus, HWA AG, to develop what is supposedly the first carbon-fibre production chassis of its kind. This does not just include a carbon monocoque, but carbon sub frames and crash structures as well. Another reason to get excited about this is that the chassis has been developed and designed to, “meet and to partly exceed respective FIA LMP2 safety requirements”. So, seeing that a new hypercar class will be coming to Le Mans in the near future, we could be seeing an Apollo IE fighting it out there.

    Arguably the most exciting part of the IE is the engine. Propelling this car is a 6.3-litre, naturally-aspirated V12 engine. It will be pumping out 780 HP (582 kW) with 759 Nm of torque and will rev to a glorious 9000 rpm. This means that the car will reach 0-100 km/h in a mere 2.7 seconds and go on to reach 333 km/h. Considering it weighs only 1250 kilograms, will produce 1350 kilograms of downforce at 300 km/h and have a 6-speed sequential gearbox, expect to see this car attacking a track near you.

    All 10 of these exquisite machines have been spoken for (obviously) and customer deliveries can be expected to start taking place around the middle of this year.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
