Gumpert Apollo might be the greatest car ever?

I think so. Forget the 400K price tag, thats the same price as a Porsche Carrera GT, 1/3 the price of an Enzo, and about the same as an LP640. Why am I comparing prices? these companies I just named have been known as the pinnacle of the automotive industry for decades, deep roots in racing, yet this small car company brings out their first model, and is decimating records like a cat in a wet bag.

As we all know the Dodge Viper ACR with the picnic table in the back generated a 7:22 time aroundthe track. the Gumpart narrowly beat it with a time of 7:11!!!
I've said before the radical is the fastest pproduction car around it, and that's true, but certain people threw the flame suit on me saying it's not really, due to the fact its just a race car, no top, and its too low. Now here's a car with a top, fully road legal, and IMO sexy as hell, cause al those vents and angles on the car are for downforce, and to go fast.

here's some times just to give you reference:

7:11.5 Gumpert Apollo Speed Florian Gruber
7:22.1 2009 Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR
7:24.3 Maserati MC12
7:24.7 Pagani Zonda F Clubsport
7:25.3 Ferrari Enzo Ferrari
7:28.71 Porsche Carrera GT
7:40 Bugatti Veyron 16.4
7:40 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640


Price wise, a ZR1 is more sensible, I'll agree, but when money's no option, I would want an Apollo to sit in my garage over the hyped Vette any day.
