Video: Gumpert Apollo S sets ‘Ring record

August 20, 2009 by George Skentzos  




The Nürburgring has a new record holder with the Gumpert Apollo Sport lapping the benchmark circuit in a staggering 7:11.57, more than 10 seconds second clear of the Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR.

Only the barely street-legal Radical SR8 has topped this lap time in the production car stakes, but the fact that the Apollo S has a roof, leather interior and air-conditioning makes it far more impressive.
