The Apollo Intensa Emozione (Apollo IE) arrives as a Ferrari-powered track only hypercar with 796bhp and a £2 million price tag. Just 10 IEs being built. Back in July, when Apollo Automobil teased the arrival of this – the Apollo Intensa Emozione (Apollo IE) – we were able to exclusively reveal it would be powered by a […]

The new Apollo Intensa Emozione ‘IE’ HYPERCAR – a new car from what was Gumpert – gets teased on video ahead of a debut in Italy on 24 October. Back in July we reported a tease from Apollo Automobil, a new Supercar maker which rose out of the ashes of Gumpert, for a new Hypercar – […]
Gumpert Insolvent
German supercar maker Gumpert has filed for insolvency after a foray in to China failed to realise the expected sales. We’re beginning to wonder if the only garden shed supercar makers actually able to make a go of things are British? Gumpert – German maker of extreme supercars – has instigated insolvency proceedings after its […]
Gumpert tease two debuts for Geneva 2012
Gumpert has revealed they are heading to the 2012 Geneva Motor Show with two debuts. One should be a production version of the Gumpert Tornante. Back in November we reported that Gumpert were teasing a new car debut for the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, which we concluded (or hoped) would be a production version of […]
Gumpert tease new car. A new Apollo with Tornante looks, perhaps?
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 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 […]
Gumpert Tornante by TOURING: It’s a good-looking Gumpert
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. Awesome performance and race car handling in a car that’s road-legal is a start. But one thing no one has ever said about the Gumpert […]
Gumpert back with the Gumpert Tornante at Geneva
Gumpert returns with a new 2-seater Fast Tourer – the Gumpert Tornante – at the Geneva Motor Show. The Gumpert Tornante has been designed by Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera. We realised at the end of last Summer that Gumpert had been very quiet. We’d run a few stories – for example when the Gumpert Apollo S et a Nurburgring […]
Gumpert Apollo S sets Nurburgring record +video
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
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 […]
