A chance to own a true legend.
Ask most people to imagine a hypercar, and the image comes easily to mind: low-slung, aggressive, aero-focused, and powerful. The team at Apollo Automobili never seemed interested in fitting into a mold. Its creations have always been a little wild around the edges, offering an unmatched, emotional experience behind the wheel. That has been true since the launch of the Intensa Emozione in 2017, marking the rebirth of the coveted Gumpert Apollo and its legacy from the early 2000s. Known in short as the IE, named after the Italian translation for “Intense Emotion”, Apollo produced only ten examples that sold instantly for a starting price of $2,670,000. Miller Motorcars of Greenwich, CT, is pleased to present this ultra-rare 2020 Apollo Intensa Emozione as part of its impressive inventory of exotics for sale on duPont REGISTRY.
With only 10 ever made, every Apollo IE comes with its own name and personality attached, reflecting its bespoke build and the original owner’s inspiration. This example, nicknamed Black Dragon, showcases the natural beauty behind Apollo’s focus on weight savings with a fully exposed gloss carbon finish accented with contrasting matte red badges. The choice of leaving its exterior exposed gives insight into the engineer’s thoughts when creating the Intensa Emozione, crafting every airduct and louvre with the purpose of cooling and downforce in mind. And speaking of downforce, its massive fixed carbon rear wing generates over 2,976 lbs of downforce at 186 mph and contributes to an almost perfect 44.5%/55.5 % weight balance. Matte black forged center-lock wheels provide surface traction, while a set of carbon-ceramic brakes supplies the stopping power for high-speed runs.
Opening the Apollo IE’s signature gullwing doors reveals a luxurious cabin that almost makes you forget that it’s a purpose-built racecar ready to break lap records. While carbon fiber continues to play a role as the main material used throughout the cabin, the interior also comes wrapped in vibrant red leather. The fixed carbon bucket seats, center console, steering wheel, door inserts, and dashboard have been completely transformed with the extra pop of color. Regardless of color and leather choice, the focus remains in the driver’s seat, where Apollo has crafted a command station with plenty of driving dynamics that help adjust the car to its intended track.
The most impressive characteristic of Apollo Automobili’s Intensa Emozione lies at the rear, where a Ferrari-derived 6.3L naturally-aspirated V12 sends 780 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque to its rear wheels. Add in a quick-shifting 6-speed sequential transmission, and that combination results in a blistering 2.7-second 0-60mph time, and a top speed of 208 mph. Offering the opportunity of a lifetime to join an ultra-exclusive owners’ circle, this 2020 Apollo Intensa Emozione from Miller Motorcars is now for sale on duPont REGISTRY.
