Greco-Roman god Apollo is recognized as the overseer of many
things�truth and prophecy, medicine and healing, light and the sun,
the arts, music, archery, and poetry. The supercar Apollo is
recognized as being overseen by its European maker, Gumpert. With
Gumpert introducing its newest model, the Apollo Speed, we wondered
how well the car might represent its namesake deity. Let's start
with poetry and music. Those are pretty well covered by the sweet
4.2-liter Audi V-8, to which Gumpert straps a pair of
turbochargers. Mounted amidships, it powers each of the Apollo
models, which include an Apollo, Apollo Sport, and Apollo Race, as
well as the new Apollo Speed. All are available tuned to one of
three levels of output: 650 hp/627 lb-ft of torque, 700 hp/645
lb-ft, and 800 hp/664 lb-ft. Previewed only by a teaser image
(which we've lightened through the unknowable voodoo of Photoshop),
the Apollo Speed looks no more artful�the arts, get it?�than its
brethren. The only visible changes include smoother front wheel
arches that better integrate with the front fascia, and a revised
center air intake. This car was designed with aerodynamics�and not
ultimate aesthetics�in mind, with the aim of creating enough
downforce to be able to drive on a ceiling, somewhere. Light and
the sun also get a nod, with new taillights tacked on the rear that
we haven't yet seen. Now to truth and prophecy. Gumpert claims a
0-to-62-mph time of 3.0 seconds, while doubling that speed
reportedly takes 8.9 seconds. The maximum velocity for the top-spec
Speed is an arrow-like (archery!) 224 mph. But here's where the
Speed name feels disingenuous: these numbers are identical to those
we were given for the Apollo Sport in 2007. We prophesize that some
will cry foul when they compare Apollos to Apollos. Body type 2
