Apollo Evo: Last of the Wild V12 Cars

   






Apollo EVO: The Last of the Wild V12 Hypercars

In an era where electrification and hybrid systems dominate the hypercar world, Apollo Automobil has chosen rebellion. The Apollo EVO isn’t just a new model - it’s a defiant statement, celebrating raw engineering, extreme aerodynamics, and one of the final naturally aspirated V12 engines ever to power a modern hypercar.

Following the legendary Apollo Intensa Emozione, the EVO takes everything that made its predecessor insane - and turns it up.


A Return to Pure Mechanical Fury

At the heart of the Apollo EVO lies a 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12, derived from Ferrari’s iconic F140 engine family. No turbos. No hybrid motors. No artificial sound enhancement. Just a screaming V12 that revs beyond 9,000 rpm, producing roughly 800 horsepower sent exclusively to the rear wheels.

Paired with a 6-speed sequential race gearbox, the EVO delivers brutally fast shifts and a race-car-like driving experience. Performance figures are equally savage:

  • 0–100 km/h: ~2.7 seconds

  • Top speed: ~335 km/h

  • Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive only

This is not a hypercar designed to be comfortable - it’s designed to be unforgettable.


Engineering Built for the Track

The EVO is constructed around an all-new carbon-fiber monocoque, weighing just ~165 kg. The entire car tips the scales at around 1,300 kg, giving it an extraordinary power-to-weight ratio.

Apollo claims the new chassis is:

  • 15% stiffer

  • 10% lighter
    than the Intensa Emozione’s already extreme structure.

Suspension is fully race-derived, braking is handled by massive carbon-ceramic discs, and grip comes from ultra-aggressive Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires.


Aerodynamics Taken to the Extreme

Visually, the Apollo EVO looks like it escaped from a futuristic Le Mans prototype. Its body is defined by sharp creases, massive winglets, and exposed aero elements.

The car features:

  • Active aerodynamic surfaces

  • A large adjustable rear wing

  • Aggressive front splitters and dive planes

All of this generates enormous downforce, ensuring the EVO remains planted even at triple-digit speeds on track. Every vent, fin, and flick exists for performance - not aesthetics.


A Skeletonized, Race-Focused Interior

Step inside the Apollo EVO, and luxury is replaced with intent. The interior is minimalist, exposed, and unapologetically raw.

  • Visible carbon structure

  • Racing bucket seats

  • Bare-bones controls

  • No unnecessary infotainment

This cockpit isn’t meant for cruising city streets — it’s designed to keep the driver fully connected to the machine, eliminating distractions and maximizing focus.


Extreme Rarity, Extreme Price

The Apollo EVO is strictly limited to just 10 units worldwide, instantly making it one of the rarest hypercars ever produced.

  • Production: 10 cars only

  • Price: ~€3 million (before taxes)

  • Deliveries: Expected in 2026

Each example is expected to be heavily customized, ensuring no two EVOs are exactly alike.


Why the Apollo EVO Matters

The Apollo EVO represents something increasingly rare in modern automotive engineering: pure, unfiltered emotion. While the industry moves toward silent speed and software-controlled performance, the EVO reminds us what made hypercars special in the first place - sound, drama, and mechanical violence.

It isn’t built to chase lap records or dominate spec sheets.
It’s built to make drivers feel something.

And in 2026, that might be the most radical idea of all.

                 To all the fans of the Lexus LFA out there, Toyota or Lexus has given them a chance to redeem themselves with the new or teased Lexus LFR, which is expected to feature the GR Badge. It will also feature a track-friendly version, the GT3. It is mostly going to be a hybrid. For the car enthusiast, the combustion engine is expected to feature a twin-turbo V8 that will produce a whopping 900 horsepower, more than enough to haul your groceries. Long bonnet, rearward-cockpit layout, sharp front end, large vents, aggressive aero in GT3 version (large wing, big front splitter, large diffusers, etc.) aim to make the look super aggressive. The road car has a more modest wing/spoiler (“ducktail” style) but still has very sporty design bits. The price has not been disclosed, but experts say that it will hit the prices of super-hybrids. This car will give you the thrill of driving a supercar without compromising the well-known Lexus luxur...

  The New Tata Sierra: The Icon Legend from the 90's To all the fans of the original Tata Sierra out there, Tata Motors has finally given them a chance to relive the legend with the new, fully modernized Sierra EV. The SUV stays true to its iconic silhouette while stepping into the future with a clean, futuristic design and an all-electric powertrain. It is expected to feature Tata’s next-gen EV architecture, offering strong instant torque and a practical real-world range suited for daily use and weekend escapes. For enthusiasts, early expectations suggest the Sierra could deliver around 150–200 hp—more than enough to handle city cruising and highway runs. The long glasshouse, signature rear-quarter design, sharp LED lightbar, bold cladding, and rugged stance aim to give it that tough-yet-premium look. A possible Adventure variant may bring chunkier tires, roof rails, and more off-road-ready elements to make it stand out. Inside, the Sierra focuses on comfort and space with a loung...
