RE: Gumpert Apollo S: Spotted

I think it was back in 2009 when at Destination Nurburgring, two of these turned up. I'm sure it was just during their first lap that one was smashed to smithereens.

It looked great when in one piece and much more striking than other exotic stuff there.

I don’t understand why this is practically the same price as when it was new, despite being comparatively old tech and having been in an accident. I didn’t think they were that highly regarded.

unique styling, rarity etc

similar to the sagaris tbh

I think that the senna will hold it's value too because of it's eye catching looks

A proper left-field, loony car.

The rarity alone will ensure prices remain strong in the future.

I think that's rather cheap actually.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought that - next to an Aventador/720S and about a third of the price of an un-flipped Senna (if you can get one), it doesn't look like bad value!

Thought exactly the same. This or a Hurracan Performante?

Wonder how big an "off" it had?

Edit.
Ah a quick google shows it wasn't that big really.

Very serious car I like the colour too.

I drove this car in 2008, it was only on an airport runway but I loved it, the kick in the back when the turbos spool up is savage and I got it up to 300kph before I had to back off and it was still accelerating hard.
I liked it a lot, it did feel very agricultural and noisy but it was great fun.
It was a charity event called RAF vs Rio and people where racing the tornados down the runway

Quite wide, just look at those arches! Probably insanely loud too!!

Price drop - now 'only' £200k

Correct, not sure it was first lap but it was on day 1 and driven by then f1 Driver Adrian sutil as gp was on that weekend. There was some amusement in the paddock amongst those of us who had kept our own cars in one piece.

If I wasn't down for a Huracan Performante Spyder, I'd be giving this serious consideration and low ball them with £175k to start and see where we end up.
