When it comes to hypercars with a commanding presence, Apollo Automobili is always a prominent name in the conversation. Notably, the Apollo Intensa Emozione, lovingly abbreviated as Apollo IE, has been succeeded by an equally captivating model in the Apollo production limited lineup—introducing the Apollo Project Evo. The allure of otherworldly designs remains as this successor made its debut at the 2021 China International Import Expo in Shanghai.

Visually, the Apollo Project Evo boasts a profusion of sleek lines, intricate folds, and distinctive light signatures. A striking feature is the pair of X-shaped Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) adorning the front, evoking the spirit of the Bugatti Bolide but with a more audacious flair. What sets it apart is the prominent greenhouse-shaped cabin capsule at the center, crowned by an alluring roof scoop.

The same intensity seen at the front finds its mirror image at the rear. Here, six bold red LED stripes, representing the Project Evo's taillights, artfully conceal three substantial exhaust pipes positioned at the rear center of the vehicle. Notably, a hydraulically operated rear wing adds to the aerodynamic dynamism.

Interestingly, Apollo has kept the specifics of the Project Evo's powertrain a mystery, leaving enthusiasts to wonder what lies beneath. By listening closely, it's reasonable to speculate that a modified V12 powertrain, akin to the one powering the Apollo Intensa Emozione, is at the heart of the Project Evo. This powertrain is likely to deliver an impressive 769 horsepower to the rear wheels, propelling the car with exhilarating force.

In conclusion, the Apollo Project Evo represents the pinnacle of automotive innovation and aesthetic prowess. Its captivating design, active aerodynamics, and formidable powertrain make it a true successor to the legendary Apollo IE, which reportedly cost as much as $3 million to build. As we marvel at this engineering marvel, we can only anticipate the groundbreaking performance and sheer driving pleasure that the Project Evo promises to deliver on roads and tracks alike. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | APOLLOMFG | CARSCOOPS | MOTORAUTHORITY | ID.MOTOR1 | DRIVINGYOURDREAM ]
