25 fastest cars in the world
Apollo Arrow (223 mph)
The 2016 Geneva Motor Show was a supercar-laden affair, but even among its spectacular rivals, the Apollo Arrow stood out. Wearing bright orange paint and a body sculpted like a dragon’s, the Arrow was and is a fantastic example of unrestrained design, and that philosophy applies to much more than just the styling.
The Arrow equips an Audi-sourced 4.0-liter biturbo V8 that has been tuned, tweaked, and tickled to produce a cool 1000 hp and 738 lb-ft, numbers that get more impressive when you consider the car’s low weight of 2,866 lbs. The math adds up pretty well in this case, as the Arrow can sprint to 60 mph in only 2.9 seconds and prance all the way up to 223 mph before running out of steam.
In early 2016, the Apollo Automobil brand rose from the ashes of Gumpert, a lovably unhinged manufacturer that brought us the brutal Gumpert Apollo. The Arrow is the successor to the ol’ Gumpert in many ways, because even though it’s been given a makeover, underneath the skin it’s as crazy as ever.
