We're just over a week into 2026, and one of the most extreme hypercar makers has dropped something significant on Instagram. Apollo Automobil confirmed that the first production Apollo EVO will be delivered later this year, with Chassis #01 already in production.
Looking back at Apollo’s roots, the modern brand traces its lineage back to Gumpert, the early 2000s German automaker known for building uncompromising, track-focused machines that ignored convention. That DNA carried forward when Apollo reemerged in 2017 with the Intensa Emozione, a street-legal hypercar limited to just 10 examples. Each car was bespoke, named, and built around its original owner.
Power comes courtesy of a Ferrari-derived 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 producing 780 horsepower and 561 pound-feet of torque, paired with a six-speed sequential gearbox. 0 to 60 mph happens in 2.7 seconds, top speed is 208 mph, and pricing starts at $2,670,000. All 10 units sold instantly.
The more extreme EVO was announced back in 2023 and gets rid of those road constraints entirely. duPont REGISTRY has not only tracked the sale of the street-legal IE, but also followed the development of the track-only EVO, including an early look at the monocoque and chassis last month.
Power is up, now pushing 800 horsepower from a naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V12 fed through an additional prominent roof scoop, again driving the rear wheels through a sequential gearbox. A 3D printed titanium exhaust sounds the part, saves weight, and manages heat, while Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires provide predictable grip and easy replacement logistics.
Underneath sits an all-carbon fiber monocoque weighing just 364 pounds, helping keep overall mass near 2,866 pounds. Compared to the IE, the EVO is 15 percent stiffer and 10 percent lighter. That stiffness-to-weight balance should respond and improve tire loading consistency over long sessions.
Extensive venting and exposed rear elements also point to a focus on cooling and thermal stability, critical when you are running sustained laps. The active aero package is, without a doubt, extreme, further highlighted on this bronze example, but it is also functionally and is designed to generate motorsport-grade downforce at speed (with some sources citing up to 6,600 pounds of downforce). This should let you brake later, carry more mid-corner load, and stay stable through fast sections.
The car sits extremely low with a cab-forward stance, with a fighter-jet-like canopy and almost no front overhang, with air drawn through the nose, fed into deep side channels, and expelled through an open rear architecture, with the big highlight at the rear being the six illuminated fins.
With this track-focused variant, expect broad setup adjustability and motorsport-grade safety, supported directly by the factory through the Apollo STUDIO program. Only 10 EVOs will be built, with pricing expected to easily exceed the IE’s $2,670,000 starting point.
