$2.7 million Apollo Intensa Emozione Hypercar

Even high performance vehicles today have been affected by the trend of engine downsizing, basically reducing the displacement and adding forced induction or hybrid systems to recover some power. There are however some companies who still preserve the purity of an internal combustion engine,  Apollo is one of them. The German auto maker founded by Roland Gumpert came out with a hypercar that goes in a completely different direction, a car which reunites the old and the new.
The engine is an "old school" naturally aspirated 6.3 liter V12 with no turbo, no hybrid systems, it is at simple as it can get. It delivers 780 hp and 760 Nm (561 ft-lb) of torque, allowing the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 2.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 335 km/h(208 mph).

When i saw this thing for the first time it looked like something from another planet. It has a cutting edge design, futuristic and  very aggressive, it has a huge wing in the back and, probably, the weirdest exhaust i have ever seen.

The interior makes you feel like you are driving a space ship with wheels. It is easier to count the parts which are not made out of carbon fiber, reason why the car weighs just 1250 kg (2756 lbs). The racing suspension has a double wishbone configuration both in the front and the rear.

For those who still haven't guessed Intensa Emozione in Italian means intense emotion, something you will surely feel at the  wheel of this car. Another thing about this car which gives intense emotions is the price which is 2.7 million dollars, that nearly enough to enter the top five most expensive hypercars which i posted a while back.
