Apollo G2J Electric: a supercar that blows you away!

The German automaker Apollo Automobil GmbH is now taking the electric route with a prototype sports car.

Little known to the general public, the Apollo brand gained recognition in 2005 with the Gumpert Apollo, a 650 horsepower supercar powered by an Audi-origin V8 twin-turbo engine.

After some financial difficulties, Gumpert (now Apollo Automobil GmbH) was acquired in 2016 by a Hong Kong businessman named Norman Choi and a Chinese fund (Consolidated Ideal TeamVenture), already owners of De Tomaso.

This growth has been accompanied by several development centers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan… specialized in advanced development, engineering, and fine-tuning of cutting-edge powertrains.

Chinese Expertise

With these new investments, the small manufacturer aims to ride the wave of electric cars, especially since China now possesses genuine expertise in battery production.

The prototype presented today is built using lightweight composite materials, including carbon fiber, to optimize weight. This is crucial for modern cars, which are often hampered by excessive mass.

“Today, Apollo Future Mobility Group demonstrates its intention to position itself in the electric mobility experience combined with performance, with a finished concept called G2J. This prototype is only a preview of the future design of a series of high-performance cars with Apollo’s DNA, competing with the most exciting electric sports cars of the moment,” explains Eric Ho, President of Apollo Future Mobility Group (AFMG).

Patience is a Virtue

For now, little information has been released about the technical specifications, but the Apollo G2J is likely to offer better acceleration than previous thermal models from the brand.
