Specifications
editDesign
editThe car was designed by the same designer as the Apollo Intensa Emozione, and the Apollo Arrow, Jowyn Wong.[3][4]
Apollo says the Project EVO features a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, as well as active aerodynamics such as an electronically adjustable rear spoiler and aero fins.[5]
It comes with a full range of active aerodynamics including a large retractable and adjustable rear spoiler, aero stabilizers and triangular air intakes that are clearly visible from the sides[6][5]
It features a special gradient paint job, which changes from a bright red to a bright orange depending on the angle and lighting.
The interior is almost entirely orange and black (matching the exterior), with a few white accents such as on the inside of the steering wheel, vents, and buttons. It features 3 screens on the dash, directly above the steering wheel.
Performance
editThe Apollo Evo is powered by the same modified version of the same Ferrari derived 6.3 L F140 V12 engine developed by Autotecnica Motori and HWA AG used on its predecessor.[7][2]
It has can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in under 3.0 seconds, although the exact number is yet to be confirmed.
Production
editOverall, the car will have 10 official models and 2 prototypes. Both prototypes have been produced, however none of the official models have been created yet.
Based off statements from official Apollo employees, the car will be priced at between US$2,500,000-US$3,000,000. It takes around 1200 hours to make each unit, and ~600 hours to paint it.
The car is intended as a track car, however it's also considered to also be street legal in most countries.
