2019 Gumpert Apollo Intensa Emozione

2019 Gumpert Apollo Intensa Emozione The Apollo IE marks the go back to the truest, most natural shape of the hyper-automobile. Created from a clean sheet of paper, the IE is the start of the subsequent chapter of Apollo. Our flagship hyper-vehicle that represents the ethos of the logo.

From the start, our team set out to build a vehicle that is lightweight, aerodynamically green and connected, however unimpeded via any emotionally dilutive technological systems. During the direction of reaching this intention we poured in heart and soul, sweat and tears. The adventure itself was intensely emotional.

The IE is a superleggera that combines the aerodynamic performance and mechanical grip of a present day GT1/GT3/LMP race car with the classical thrill of a high-revving naturally aspirated V12. This automobile has an organic granularity that other contemporary hyper-motors strive for, however are not able to deliver. All this while providing a current, intensively placing design language that symbolizes the brand.

This is a car that captures the misplaced emotion and fading spirit of the automobiles we develop up loving.

A car with its very own soul. A car that provides the driver with modern, but nostalgically pure, unadulterated sensory experience. A vehicle this is gasoline for the senses. A car that lives and breathes with extreme emotion.

This is Intensa Emozione. This is the Apollo IE.

THE NAME

Quite literally, "Intensa Emozione" method severe emotion. These  easy words convey top notch significance - they're the spine of the whole thing we do, they describe the journey we trekked, they're the very last made of our passion.

We need Apollo to be called a brand with ardour, perfect and demands. Not handiest have we constructed a hyper-car with global class overall performance, but we made sure that this machine is a true event to power. Our extreme feelings inspired and stimulated us.

DESIGN

The Apollo IE embarks on a brand new chapter to ground an intensively hanging design language that symbolizes the brand. Pushing the limits of design, engineering and great packages of wonderful materials. The IE's radical frame surfaces are sculpted for great performance and distinctly optimized functionality, reflecting and inspired via tactile fighter jets to apex predators along with sharks and raptors.

The body of the IE narrates the language of the movement of airflow. The idea of the IE is to pierce via and manage the air round and additionally via the automobile. The convergence of the body panels illustrates radical depth of surfaces and beautiful continuity of the body lines. A slender teardrop shaped glass house allows the IE to achieve its lovely, ambitious and balanced proportions. Acuate creases and exposed wheels allows particular streamlining of airflow whilst ensuing in a light-weight appearance grounded by using effective stance. Structural supports inclusive of the rear spine and wing mounts are designed in order to acquire and sustain over 1350 kgs of downforce.

Every part of the Apollo IE is designed for rather useful purposes with an intensive technique on style. Prominent elements such as the placing shark like nose, one of a kind facet aero fins, huge angled wing mounts and the trident exhausts, make it right away recognizable as an Apollo.

CHASSIS & MATERIALS

From the early degrees of this undertaking we knew that we wanted and had to continue to be real to our middle. We wanted to create a modern chassis for the subsequent-generation. Utilizing superior technologies and composite materials we have been capable of create a country of the artwork, bespoke, all-carbon fibre chassis which allows for maximum torsional stress, safety and the ability to create a light-weight and aerodynamically green shape.

The chassis consists of not handiest a carbon monocoque, however also contains carbon fibre the front and rear subframes. This has allowed us to create extra organic surfaces and a tighter packaging, which in go back has a high-quality correlation to its sturdy aerodynamic performance.

The whole chassis, along with the monocoque, the front and rear subframes has a complete weight of a mere 105kg.

SAFETY

Safety stays the maximum importance to us and with that in mind nothing changed into sacrificed. The Apollo IE capabilities bespoke carbon fiber the front crash systems, which up until today, have usually been reserved for simplest the pinnacle of motorsports inclusive of Formula One.

BRAKES

A accomplice of Apollo, Brembo has usually brought remarkable overall performance and remains on the pinnacle of its section. The IE uses a new Brembro carbon ceramic (CCM) machine with 380×34 mm and a 6-piston caliper inside the front and 380×34 mm, four-piston caliper on the rear.

TYRES

Michelin is our official tyre provider and associate. We work collectively to assist perceive and expand the top-rated tyres to extract most performances from the IE. The Michelin tyres pair nicely with the Apollo IE and permit the auto to acquire lateral forces in excess of 2G.

SUSPENSION

The IE capabilities Formula One stimulated double wishbone with complete push-rod and rocker arm architecture on each the front and rear, along side adjustable anti-roll bars. The dampers are provided by way of Bilstein and are adjustable by means of the driving force in 3 modes (Comfort, Sport, Auto).

In addition, the layout of the suspension and components selected permit for a non-public tuning and modification for every purchaser. We allow our customers the capacity to develop their very own bespoke suspension setup.

The development of the suspension gadget turned into designed to reap maximum performances, but additionally carry a focused level of refinement with the intention to offer a capable, but dependable using revel in. One which permits the driving force to have full manage of consolation and overall performance tiers with electronic damper adjustability at their fingertips and the practicality of an Electro-Hydraulic lifter device which can improve the automobile top by way of 50 mm up to 30 kph the front and rear. All this was carried out even as additionally incorporating a pneumatic short-raise machine with 4 air-jacks for smooth pit-carrier operations which will allow the IE to partake in severe circuit activities and our Time Attack Program (to be launched at a later date).
