Gumpert tease new car. A new Apollo with Tornante looks, perhaps?

Gumpert tease new car

Roland Gumpert has issued a teaser photo for a new Gumpert due at Geneva 2012. We’re hoping it’s a new Apollo with Tornate looks. We have quite a soft spot for the creations of ex-Audi man Roland Gumpert. The only real drawback with Gumpert’s cars has been their looks. Challenging perhaps best describes the Gumpert [...]

Gumpert Tornante: Gumpert get a looker

Gumpert Tornante by TOURING

Gumpert has brought along the Gumpert Tornante by TOURING to Geneva, a vast cosmetic improvement on the Apollo but still with real fire-power. We’d long believed that ‘Good looking Gumpert’ was destined to be an oxymoron for ever more. But we were wrong. Because the Gumpert Tornante by TOURING is a good-looking Gumpert, in a butch, don’t-mess-with-me [...]

The Gumpert Tornante by TOURING

We have the first photo of the new Gumpert Tornante – officially the Gumpert Tornante by TOURING – which will debut at Geneva. There’s lot’s you can see about a Gumpert.

Gumpert Apollo S - back in production

Every car maker on the planet seems to obsessed with breaking a Nurburgring record. And who can blame them. Every time a new claim comes in people like us write about it, and that gives them publicity that would cost a fortune to buy. Probably the biggest spat this year has been over the Nissan [...]

Gumpert Apollo Speed lands at Geneva

Gumpert Apollo Speed at Geneva 2009

I have to admit, the Gumpert Apollo is not exactly the most subtle of cars. Or the prettiest. But it probably explodes more ferociously (or at least it feels more ferocious) than just about anything on the road. But just in case the standard Gumpert Apollo isn’t mad enough for you, Gumpert also offers the [...]
