God Sun
TEXT: TOM LAPOINTE
Apollo, looks to cArve niche in europeAn supercAr mArket Yet another group of designers, engineers and wealthy financiers feels compelled to bring a car to market in the financial and performance stratosphere, and based on first impressions, the automobile world is better for it. Named for the son of Zeus in Greek mythology, the Apollo has been engineered as a racecar and street car combined in the same package.
Of his many attributes, the mythological god, Apollo, was also considered “the ideal of manly beauty”. timing help power the Apollo to a 224 MPH top speed and 62 MPH in three seconds flat—presumably making 0-60 in less than three seconds. “Engineers have constantly striven to further develop technology to the boundaries of what is technically feasible. The results are technical masterpieces that bring mankind one step closer to the thrill of speed and the dream of flying and driving,” according to Gumpert marketing materials. Of course if you’re going to go that fast, you want to be able to turn and stop. Engineers tested the Apollo across Europe on highways and racetracks, including Hockenheim, Zolder, Imola and Nürbergring to create the perfect balance of speed and handling. The car’s double-wishbone pushrod configuration transfers forces to a racecar-style inboard spring and shock package. Ride height is actually driver-selected from about an inch and a half to four and three-fourths inches. The standard traction-control system allows for four different settings, depending on how aggressive the driver is feeling. A three-level anti-lock brake system powers six-piston calipers in the front and rear that clamp massive 14.9-inch rotors. Street tires will be the same 19-inch Pirelli P Zeros found on the Maserati MC12.
Based on Mr. Gumpert’s all-wheel-drive experience, it’s surprising that Gumpert opted for a rear-drive configuration, but they must have had their reasons. Power is transferred to the rear wheels through a 6-speed sequential-manual gearbox with a twin-clutch configuration—the same one in the Pagani Zonda and Lamborghini Murciélago. The gearbox is controlled through a console-mounted gearshift and clutch pedal: there are no paddle shifters. “The Apollo’s cockpit reflects the function-oriented atmosphere of a racing vehicle—without neglecting a certain amount of comfort,” states the car’s brochure. There is a Momo racing steering wheel (no airbags), along with a simple, clear gauge cluster, air conditioning and a DVD infotainment system. The interior is pretty much custom-built for each individual buyer. The seats are actually molded into the monocoque tub, using padding and adjustable pedals to configure the car to each driver. Buyers can configure the interior to their primary use of the vehicle—spartan for more track use, or luxury appointments for more street use, including leather seats and dash.

“One way that the Apollo differs from many supercars is that it combines a racecar-style chrome-moly tube frame with a carbon fiber tub”
At first glance, the car certainly fits the part. It looks like a Mazda RX8 combined with sports racers from the Grand-Am Cup series. It has the performance requisite front splitter, rear diffuser and even an F1-style rooftop air intake. It’s horsepower ranges from 600-800, depending on which twin-turbo V8 engine is selected. Plus, it’s got gull-wing doors—a must if your car is going to make it onto sports car posters and calendars. “It has always been a dream of mine to have a car that has so much downforce, such aerodynamic efficiency, that you could drive on the roof of a tunnel at high speed…and this car can,” according to Roland Gumpert, founder and managing director of Gumpert Sportwagenmanufaktur GmbH (say that three times quickly). The small German company is determined to wedge its way into the garages of the world’s wealthy, as it joins the growing community of small exotic car manufacturers, including Spyker, Mosler and Saleen, to name a few. “We strive to satisfy our customers’ dreams of a powerful, exclusive and unique sports car—a vehicle that provides a breathtaking driving experience and also has the potential to win on race tracks across the world,” boasts the brochure. American buyers won’t have to worry about buying the car named after
“The Apollo has 27 percent more torque than a Carrera GT.”
Based on the actual performance of the first Apollo prototype car, Europe’s Autocar magazine it “The most exciting car to ever wear number plates,”— quite a statement with cars such as the Enzo, Carrera GT and MC12 on the market, and a major feather in the hat of an independent manufacturer that plans to build and sell about 60 units per year. Autocar’s test driver was full of praise for this newest supercar entry. “Even with the benefit of warm, tacky slicks there’s no point in applying a bootful in first gear – the power and torque are just too strong. Half throttle in second and the Gumpert feels Porsche 911 Turbo fast. Make that 911 Turbo S fast.” At 175.6 inches long and 78.6 inches wide, the Apollo is six inches shorter and three inches wider than the Porsche Carrera GT, a vehicle it will likely be compared to. However, at a mere 2,525 pounds, the Apollo has a weight advantage of more than 500 pounds and boasts 36 more horsepower. In addition, the Apollo has 27 percent more torque than a Carrera GT. Wow!
the sun god in Greek mythology to cruise our streets, but it’s being engineered to simultaneously meet German safety requirements and specifications for a couple of European racing series (FIA GT production specs are available, but presumably not street-legal). One way that the Apollo differs from many supercars is that it combines a racecar-style chrome-moly tube frame with a carbon fiber tub, rather than carbon fiber with metal subframes. It even includes a carbon fiber crush box in the nose to protect occupants in a frontal impact, like F1 cars. The car’s mid-engine drivetrain is derived from Audi components—not surprising, in light of the fact that Gumpert spent 30 years with the company, much of it overseeing its motorsports division. He supervised Audi’s development of the Quattro’s pre-cursor, which went on to win 25 World Rally Championships races and 4 world titles. Mr. Gumpert and his engineers have added two KKK Turbochargers to a beefed up version of Audi’s proven 4.2 liter, DOHC engine. In its “base” form, it puts out 641 HP and 597 lb/ft of torque. GSG advertises optional horsepower choices of 700 and 800, but it’s probable that these configurations won’t be street-legal. The low-mounted, dual turbochargers compress air that comes in through two massive intercoolers. Five valves per cylinder, a dry-sump lubrication system and variable intake valve
The base vehicle is priced at 198,000 Euros (not including their value added tax), or about $234,000—about a 40-percent savings over the Carrera GT. Of his many attributes, the mythological god, Apollo, was also considered “the ideal of manly beauty”. Apollo the car could certainly fit this description. Our guess is that Mr. Gumpert plans more than one vehicle in his model line, because he has chosen the mythical “griffin” (body of a lion, head of an eagle) to represent his brand—one that stands ready to earn a position of prominence on a continent where builders choose prancing horses, raging bulls and family crests to represent their vehicles. According to Gumpert, “this mythological creature…is a symbol for strength and velocity. Last, but not least, it is perceived as the symbol for ruling the earth and sky. Under his sign (the griffin) Gumpert Sportwagenmanufaktur starts off to compete with the established competitors [in] the market and on the race track.”

2010 CAMARO RS Money makes the world spin round, and the ultra-exclusive 678 horsepower Pagani Zonda Cinque is proof of that. Thanks to one of the company’s dealers in Hong Kong—and no doubt an extremely affluent client—Pagani will create five (hence the clever “Cinque” title) street legal versions of the Zonda R. It will be the first Pagani vehicle to receive a sequential gearbox and an entirely new skin made of carbon-titanium, but the chances are, you’re never going to see one. All five of the silver beasts are already sold, each at roughly 1.6 million before taxes.

DARK KNIGHT BATMOBILE Most everyone has seen the Dark Knight, and those of you who haven’t should. Not just for amazing performances, a killer plot, and sublime special effects, but to see the newest incarnation of the Batmobile in action. It’s part Lamborghini, part hummer and every inch screams, “Covet me.” At nine feet wide, fifteen feet long and roughly two and a half tons the new Tumbler is still capable of zero to sixty sprints in less than six seconds. Even more amazing is the goliath’s ability to get off the ground, as Batman isn’t the only one able to fly anymore. The Tumbler is equipped with panels that flare out enabling it to make unassisted jumps of up to thirty feet. Just as Commissioner Gordon said in 2005, “I’ve got to get me

PREMIER 4509 VeilSide has long been renowned for their prowess as an automotive styling salon, and now their luxury and exotics branch, Premier 4509 has taken center stage. Most of us would never dream of disassembling a Lamborghini Murcielago or Bentley Continental GT, but Premier 4509 did just that—and what’s more, they improved on perfection. Now the salon is committing sweet blasphemy again, and this time with the Aston Martin Vantage. From aesthetics to performance, the Vantage received an overhaul. The iconic marque now features a new front and rear bumper, side skirts, and an updated spoiler. Bond never had it so good.

Help yourself see and help out others at the same time by grabbing a pair of 141 Eyewear ($TBA). Designed in Portland, Oregon and handcrafted in Japan, these stylish acetate frames are available in ten different varieties to go with any face, and for each pair purchased, the company gives a new pair of prescription glasses to someone in need — so as you give yourself a gift of style, you’re giving someone else a much greater gift: Sight.
Created to celebrate the opening of the new Danner Factory Store, these Danner 12021X Limited Edition Boots ($300) are ready for work. Made in the U.S.A., the 12021X features Gore-Tex inner lining, a Vibram Kletterlift outsole, sitchdown construction for increased stability, a full-grain leather upper, and limited edition embossing on the tongue. Just hurry if you’re thinking about picking them up — only 150 pairs were made.
The new line of Nixon Gunship Watches ($190-$500) are made to age with character. The special finishes of the oversized 51-30 Chrono, the subdued Sentry, the triple-movement Banks, and the sporty Player are designed to wear increasingly as you wear them, giving each an appearance that’s as unique as it is rugged — unfortunately, we can’t wear the badass 51-30 pictured above, as it makes our twig-like wrists look even tinier.
Stay warm and dry this fall in the Nau Urbane Jacket ($280). Made from twolayer waterproof, windproof breathable laminate, this handsome, moto-style jacket features waterproof Riri zippers, a full front placket, two chest flap pockets and two zip-close hand pockets, a removable hood, and articulated sleeves for full movement, whether you’re out for a ride or out for some beers.
Rugby Limited Edition Selvedge Jeans ($400). Made from selvedge denim sourced from the Cone Denim White Oak Plant in Greensboro, NC, these vintage slim fit jeans arrive in an ultra-dark indigo-washed hue, and feature a belted waist, button fly, five pockets, and a striped silk twill back patch that plays off the included narrow striped tie. Expensive, yes, but also exclusive in a way that most $200 and up denim isn’t.
Carry your laptop, iPad, or other goods over one or both shoulders without looking like a high schooler in the Makr Ruck Sack ($160). Available in a very light natural, brown, or black canvas, this simple pack features stylish exterior closures, multiple pockets, leather washers and reinforcements, cotton webbing, and padded straps. If you’re interested, hurry up -they’re limited to just 50 of each color.
Some buckles need gold, bottle openers, fine scrolling, or other embellishments to stand out. The Solid Belt Buckle ($25) bucks this trend with a simple handworked metal face, decorated with hand-distressed enamel in a variety of colors. A great way to dress down a slightly too formal outfit, or likewise dress up a pair of denim paired with a plain tee.

JACK’SMAGAZINE FOR MEN
When we first saw “evergreen,” we were thinking the Hlaska Evergreen Billfold ($150) would be some semicompromised, eco-friendly bill and card holder. Instead, it’s a high-end Italian leather wallet featuring four card slots, a cash slot, and — wait for it — woodgrain embossing on the outside. Available in black, brown, or eye-catching pine.

XTREME Gutter Guards are designed to move vast amounts of water through the gutter system while at the same time keeping out large gutter clogging debris that could potentially cause severe damage to home and property.
XTREME MESH has smaller
openings than our other two products to help keep more debris out of your gutters. If the debris around your home is smaller than average, then a mesh solution may be what you need. The mesh edge uses a patented hemming process that creates a smooth seam unlike competing products that glue or crimp the mesh to the aluminum body. With a glued or crimped seam, debris will stick to the rough edge while debris simply blows off our smooth seam.
Our competitors cannot copy this method, so they are forced to glue or mechanically crimp their mesh into the guard structure. These techniques will not produce a taught, tensioned surface and will fail over time when exposed to the elements. The smoothness achieved by the Xtreme manufacturing process virtually ensures debris will not stick to the mesh surface.
