This super sexy German car was built with a vision. The vision was to develop a super sports car with outstanding road performance, combining style and functionality. A purist vehicle that offered a unique driving experience on the road, potential success on the race circuit and a price tag that was way below its competitors. This vision of a unique sports car led to the birth of the Apollo.

The Apollo is driven by a 4.2-litre V8 engine that produces a power of 650 bhp. The Gumpert Apollo reaches the 100 kmph mark from a standstill in 3 seconds flat. This mid engined, rear wheel driven German power car has a top speed of 360 kmph.

The Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR 722 edition

As you may have guessed it, the name Mercedes-Benz Mclaren comes from a joint venture between Mercedes Benz and McLaren Automotive. This Anglo-German supercar is assembled at the McLaren Technology Centre in England.

The name 722, comes as a way of acknowledging the victory of British racing legends Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson who used a Mercedes Benz 300 SLR, and started the race at 7.22 am. The 722’s supercharged V8 engine gives out a power of 641 bhp and 968 Nm of torque.

The presence of an automatic gear box, front mid-engined arrangement and its driving characteristics have lead some commentators to classify the SLR McLaren as a Super GT whose closest rivals are the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish and Ferrari 599 GTB.

The SLR sports a 5.4-litre supercharged, all-aluminium, V8 engine where the cylinders are angled at 90 degrees with three valves per cylinder. The engine generates a maximum power of 641 bhp @ 6500 rpm and a maximum torque of 780 Nm @ 3250 rpm. The Mercedes Benz McLaren SLR722 is classified as a supercar and compared to cars like the Porsche Carrera GT and Ferrari Enzo.
