Games[]
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010)[]
The apollo s appears in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) as a Hyper Series racer vehicle, and as an SCPD Special Response unit as part of the Super Sports pack for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 releases.
The racer vehicle and SCPD unit is unlocked upon purchase of the Super Sports pack.
It is available for Racers as a Hyper class vehicle and is available for the SCPD as a Special Response unit.
The Apollo is one of the best Hyper series cars, due to its powerful nitrous, excellent handling, and decent acceleration. It can take very tight corners, and drift quickly as well. It is best suited to racing, because the durability of the apollo is lacking.
It can be selected with either a Gumpert Blue, Gumpert Yellow, Gumpert Red, Gumpert White, Gumpert Orange, Gumpert Silver, or a Gumpert Black body paint colour.
Description
“A new reality born of a vision”
Apollo: son of the Greek god Zeus, responsible for victory, and symbol of masculine beauty, today an inspiration for the breathtakingly uncompromising super sports car that unites aesthetics and function like no other.
The impressive power of the high-perforance eight cylinder engine is based on a proven V8 Biturbo unit from AUDI, originally engineered by Cosworth. Weighing only 196 kg (432 lbs), it plays a major role in ensuring the ideal weight and fascinating driving dynamics. The deep growl of the twin exit exhaust system with its 3-way catalytic converters says it best - the apollo has pure, unbeatable performance as reflected in the figures. Like a rocket, the apollo catapults its pilot from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 3.0 seconds and only requires 8.9 seconds from 0 to 200 km/h (0-124 mph).
The mid-engine layout is emphasised by the cockpit, which is clearly located toward the front of the vehicle, and the long wheel base; both factors ensure optimum driving qualities. The high-set air intake for the engine is reminiscent of Formula 1 vehicles and emphasises apollo racing character. The dominant rear provides a view of the diffuser and the underbody (made completely from carbon) which, combined with the front diffuser and flow channels, achieves an exceptionally high downforce for a road vehicle.
