BiTurbo Audi V8

dude, its ghey. look at that stupid hood scoop.
it looks like that stupid nsx that was posted a week ago

(that was sarchasim, i was laying it on pretty thick)

:rolljerk:

That is hot although I don’t like the turbo placement. That must be difficult to get on and off with the engine in the car. But I am guessing if you can afford this fine piece of machinery you shouldn’t be worrying about such things…

hahaha I didn’t even notice the snorkle. The rest of the car is kinda crazy so it doesn’t seem to stick out much.

it probably drops right out the bottom of the car.

This is probably the fastest car you’ve never heard of. It’s called a Gumpert Apollo and is being built with Audi’s help to take on the likes of the Porsche 911 GT3.

The Apollo is a mid-engined, rear-wheel drive two-seater with a carbonfibre monocoque chassis. Powered by a 650bhp twin-turbo version of Audi’s 4.2 V8 engine and a six-speed sequential gearbox, it should hit 60mph in 3.0secs and go on to an estimated top speed of 223mph. It will go on sale later this year priced from around £110,000.

Gumpert says the car is aimed at serious track day drivers and claims that it has as much downforce as a DTM (German touring car) racer. The interior features racecar touches such as seats integrated into its monocoque and an adjustable pedal box.

The car is the brainchild of Audi’s former competitions chief Roland Gumpert, who oversaw its rallying success with the Quattro, and Roland Mayer, owner of German tuner MTM.

Gumpert has an official supply contract with Audi and has promised chief executive Martin Winterkorn the first drive in the finished production car. ‘We can use Audi’s know-how to build our cars so long as we don’t build a direct rival to a model in their range,’ said Gumpert.

The company aims to build 30 Apollos this year, with production rising to 150 cars within three years.

that one slipped in under the radar, but it’s got big support. factory backed engine sourcing :tup:

Gumpert=223 mph
Bugatty Veyron=253mph
Saleen S7=263mph

Ok?

wow that’s hot and I dont mine that scoop
