A chance to own a true legend.
Imagine a hypercar for most people and the image that immediately comes to mind is low-profile, aggressive, aerodynamic and powerful. The team at Apollo Automobili never seemed interested in fitting into a particular mold. His creations have always been a bit wild and offered an unparalleled emotional experience behind the wheel. This has been true since the launch of the Intensa Emozione in 2017, which marks the rebirth of the coveted Gumpert Apollo and its legacy from the early 2000s. Apollo, called IE for short, named after the Italian translation for “Intense Emotion,” produced just ten examples, which sold immediately at a starting price of $2,670,000. Miller Motorcars of Greenwich, CT is pleased to present this extremely rare 2020 Apollo Intensa Emozione as part of its impressive inventory of exotic cars for sale at Daily Sparkz.
With only 10 examples made, each Apollo IE comes with its own name and personality, reflecting its bespoke build and the inspiration of the original owner. Nicknamed the Black Dragon, this example showcases the natural beauty behind Apollo’s focus on weight savings with a fully visible gloss carbon finish accented by contrasting matte red badges. The decision to expose the exterior provides insight into the engineer’s thinking when developing the Intensa Emozione, who designed every air duct and fin with cooling and downforce in mind. Speaking of downforce, its massive, fixed carbon rear wing produces over 2,976 pounds of downforce at 186 mph, contributing to a near-perfect 44.5%/55.5% weight ratio. Matte black forged center lock wheels provide traction on the surface, while a set of carbon ceramic brakes provide the stopping power needed for high-speed riding.
When you open the Apollo IE’s signature gullwing doors, you enter a luxurious cabin that almost makes you forget that this is a purpose-built race car ready to break lap records. While carbon fiber continues to play a role as the primary material throughout the interior, the interior is also wrapped in bright red leather. The fixed carbon bucket seats, center console, steering wheel, door inserts and dashboard have been completely redesigned with the added splash of color. Regardless of the color and leather choices, the focus remains on the driver’s seat, where Apollo has created a command station with plenty of driving dynamics that helps adapt the car to its intended path.
The most impressive feature of Apollo Automobili’s Intensa Emozione lies at the rear, where a Ferrari-derived 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine sends 780 hp and 561 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. Add a quick-shifting 6-speed sequential transmission and this combination results in 0-60 mph acceleration in a blistering 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 208 mph. Offering a unique opportunity to join a highly exclusive circle of owners, this 2020 Apollo Intensa Emozione from Miller Motorcars is now for sale at Daily Sparkz.
