With a proper sod-off diffuser, full-width rear wing, a serious smattering of aerofoil winglets and at least 750bhp (though the company representative talked breezily of 850bhp and 656lb ft of torque for the car on the stand), the new Gumpert Apollo Sport has the sort of mad dog demeanour that would make you think twice about giving it a funny look, let alone taking it for a quick thrap round the Nordschleife.
It would be quick though. The 700bhp version recently completed a lap in 7.24; that's 8 seconds quicker than a Porsche Carrera GT. Which must make the Apollo Sport the ultimate, hardcore, no-frills trackday supercar with LED daytime running lights.
