Want

Powered by a mid-mounted 800-hp, 4.2-liter V-8 that started life in the Audi parts bin before Gumpert added twin turbochargers, among numerous other mods, the 2650-pound Apollo Sport is said to hit 62 mph in a Murciélago-humbling three seconds flat. Gumpert claims that aerodynamic enhancements have raised the Apollo Sport's top speed to 223 mph.

My comment wasn't so much directed at its looks (I think it looks :drool:) but more so the fact of these record breaking machines are nothing short of a F1 formula race car.....:rolleyes:

I'm beginning to think that the Audi 4.2 is Germany's version of the LS1; they stick it in everything.

While it might be fast I guarantee that thing is not even close to the car the GTR is. The reason the GTR won so many COTY awards is because not only is it fast as shit, it's composed, easy to drive, and a good daily driver. This car is also going to be $300k.

I'll stick with GTR.
