The awesome Gumpert Apollo supercar is now officially on sale in the UK.

Using a twin-turbocharged 4.2-litre V8, the standard Apollo boasts a titanic 650bhp and 626lb/ft of pulling power.

This launches the German brute from 0-62mph (100kph) in three seconds and 0-124mph in 8.9 seconds before running on to 224mph.

This makes it the ninth fastest accelerating production car of all time.

The supercar also features funky swivelling gullwing doors

Other features on the mid-engined motor include a lightweight fibreglass body, 19-inch alloys and huge 378mm disc brakes.

And if 650bhp isn’t enough, Gumpert offer the Apollo in even crazier 700bhp 800bhp guises.

Racetech UK are the exclusive distributors for the Apollo.

The Lancashire-based company deal with specialist cars and also have a super-rare Mercedes Benz CLK GTR Roadster for sale – for £649,995.

All Gumpert Apollos are built to order with prices starting from £215,000.
