The Gumpert Apollo was a sports car produced by German automotive manufacturer Gumpert Sportwagenmanufaktur GmbH in AltenburgGumpert filed for bankruptcy in August 2013, thereby ending the production of the Apollo.

In 2000, Roland Gumpert proposed a new generation of sports cars. One of the primary criteria for this car was that it be street-legal yet ready for the racetrack. 

The Apollo uses a 4,163 cc bi-turbo intercooled version of the Audi V8 engine. There are 3 engine types available ranging from 650 to 800 hp.

The Apollo can weigh between 1,100 kg  and 1,200 kg  (depending on options), and is fully street-legal. 

Gumpert claims the design of the Apollo is optimised so that the car could drive upside-down in a tunnel if driven at sufficiently high speeds.
