This car was produced in years 2005-2012. There he was
the head of sales and marketing, responsible for the development of the dealer
network of the Audi - VW joint enterprise.
The Apollo is a 1,100 kg (2,400 lb)

It is a mid-engined, rear wheel drive two-seater constructed on a tubular
chromoly frame, with fiberglass or optional carbon fiber body
panels. Gumpert claim the design of the Apollo is optimized so that the car
could drive upside-down in a tunnel if driven at sufficiently high speeds (over
190 mph), but this has not been tested.
