The Apollo Intensa Emozione, sometimes referred as the IE, is a mid-engine sports car manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Apollo Automobil GmbH, in partnership with Manifattura Automobili Torino, designed by their chief designer Jowyn Wong.[2] Intensa Emozione means 'intense emotion' in Italian.
This is the first vehicle made by Apollo since the Gumpert Apollo that went into production 14 years ago.
Apollo came out with a teaser video for the Intensa Emozione on October 17, 2017 [3] and the car was fully revealed on October 24, 2017.
The Intensa Emozione has been sold for $2,670,000 in the United States, and €2,300,000 in Europe. Only ten were produced, all of which had been reportedly sold.[4]
In June 2018 it was revealed that Apollo would be partnering with HWA AG, a tuning and racing team spin-off from Mercedes-Benz tuner AMG, to complete the final stage of development for the car.[5][6][7]

Vehicle information
Design language
The exterior design is based on airflow and nature, insects and marine animals in particular. The interior is based entirely on the nature theme, with a cocoon-style carbon fiber tub cockpit, in the style of a leather-wrapped prototype race car. Apart from the natural thought, the car was also intended to have a design that would stand out from all other sports cars.[citation needed]
Performance data
Specifications and vehicle performance
The Intensa Emozione uses a Ferrari derived 6.3-litre naturally-aspirated F140 V12 developed by Autotecnica Motori and HWA AG. It is rated at approximately 791 PS (582 kW; 780 hp) at 8,500 rpm and around 760 N⋅m (561 lb⋅ft) of torque at 6,000 rpm. The engine reportedly has a redline of 9,000 rpm.[8] All of the power is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed Hewland sequential manual transmission.[4] The weight stands at 1,250 kg (2,755 lb).[9]
The dampers are built by Bilstein, and are three-way adjustable (comfort, sport, auto). The car utilises Brembo carbon ceramic brakes with sizes 380 x 34 mm at the front and rear along with 6-piston callipers up front and 4-piston callipers at the rear.[10] Michelin supplies their Sport Cup 2 high performance tires for the cars, to allow for maximum performance and grip. Pankl Racing Systems is the supplier for the differential.[8]
The Intensa Emozione is capable of accelerating from 0–97 km/h (60 mph) in 2.7 seconds, with a projected top speed of 335 km/h (208 mph). The car produces a maximum downforce of 1,350 kg (2,976 lb) at 299 km/h (186 mph).[2][11]
Body construction
The car is made almost entirely out of carbon fibre,[12] but it does include high-strength steel, aluminium, and titanium components.[13] The engine bay is left uncovered, to allow the air intake to operate with maximum efficiency.[13] The entire chassis weighs only 105 kg (231 lb).
Production
Production of the Intensa Emozione started in April 2019 with deliveries beginning in the third quarter of 2019. The carbon fibre monocoque chassis of the car is produced by Capricorn Group and chassis adjustment along with final assembly are carried out by HWA AG. The car is assembled and completed in Affalterbach, Germany where HWA manufactures its race cars.[14]
Its Carbon fibre body colour was changed twice and is currently present in black. The second production Apollo IE was delivered in November 2019. This is also called the "ML" (initials of its Malaysian owner Michael Loke) version due to a very distinct colour scheme.[15] Overall, only 10 Apollo IEs will be produced.
