Apollo Automobil (previously known as Gumpert Sportwagenmanufaktur) is a German sports car manufacturer headquartered in Denkendorf.

After Gumpert returned to Germany from China at the end of 2001, his former colleague at Audi and founder of Motoren Technik Mayer, Roland Meyer,[4] asked him to assist in building a prototype sports car.

Audi approved Gumpert's involvement in this project on the condition that the new sports car would be a series product and not a prototype.

In 2011, the company introduced a concept car in collaboration with Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, the Gumpert Tornante.

[10][11] In January 2016, the company was purchased by Hong Kong consortium Ideal Team Venture which is also owner of the De Tomaso marque.

[12] At the March 2016 Geneva Motor Show, Apollo unveiled the Arrow, a sports car that is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine rated at 986 hp (1,000 PS; 735 kW).

The Intensa Emozione is built in collaboration with HWA AG, the same company involved in the construction of the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR.

[2] Three years later Gumpert announced that they would enter a hybrid electric version of the Apollo in the 2008 24 Hours of Nürburgring, driven by 2004 winner Dirk Müller and former Formula One racer Heinz-Harald Frentzen.
