Apollo EVO Is a Track-Only Hypercar Built to Shock

If you’ve ever looked at a modern track-day special and thought, nice… but it could be wilder, Apollo just built something that feels made for you. The Apollo EVO 2026 is the kind of machine that doesn’t try to blend in, doesn’t pretend to be subtle, and definitely doesn’t care about looking “normal” in a paddock full of expensive hardware. It’s sharp, aggressive, and unapologetically over-the-top—like a hypercar designed by someone who grew up sketching starfighters instead of sports cars.
And that’s exactly the point. This is hypercar & Track Day culture taken to its extreme.
Designed to Look Fast Even When Parked
From the outside, you don’t just see the EVO—you get hit by it. The bodywork is all carbon fiber drama: fins, edges, vents, sculpted aero channels, and proportions that scream aero-dominant cars. If you’re the kind of owner who wants your car to impress your buddies before you even fire it up, the EVO delivers that energy instantly.
Apollo positions it as a hardcore track-day hypercar, but the styling leans more sci-fi than traditional race-car-inspired restraint. It’s meant to look outrageous, and it succeeds.
Ferrari-Derived V12 Power
At the heart of the EVO is what Apollo describes as an upgraded version of the Intensa Emozione’s V12—a naturally aspirated Ferrari-derived V12 800hp unit that revs all the way to 8,500 rpm. This isn’t about hybrid complexity or electric torque tricks. It’s pure V12 theater, built for noise, response, and track intensity.
Apollo claims around 800 hp and 564 lb-ft of torque, sent to the rear wheels through a Hewland six-speed sequential gearbox with electropneumatic paddle shifting. In other words, it’s exactly the kind of setup you expect from sequential gearbox hypercars that live for lap times instead of valet parking.
Apollo’s numbers are equally bold:
- 0 to 60 mph in about 2.5 seconds
- Top speed of 208 mph
Race-Car Suspension and Serious Track Hardware
This thing isn’t pretending to be a road-friendly hypercar with a track mode. The suspension layout is straight out of the race-car playbook, with pushrod geometry and adjustable struts at both ends. It’s built to be tuned, dialed in, and used properly.
You also get massive carbon-ceramic brakes—15 inches front and rear—along with center-lock forged wheels (20-inch front, 21-inch rear) and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires as standard.
And if you’re genuinely serious about the “track-only” part of the experience, Apollo will go even further.
Optional track-focused setup includes:
- Race-car steel brakes
- 18-inch wheels
- Michelin race slicks
That’s not a cosmetic option list. That’s Apollo saying you can show up like you mean it.
Active Aero With the Kind of Downforce That Sounds Fake
One of the most interesting parts of the EVO is the aerodynamics. It doesn’t wear a massive fixed rear wing the way you might expect, because this car leans heavily on active aero instead.
There’s a hydraulically actuated rear wing system that can deploy in under one second and constantly adjusts its angle to keep the balance right. Apollo claims the result is as much as 3,000lb downforce car levels of grip at 200 mph.
That number matters because the EVO’s curb weight is roughly 2,900 pounds, meaning the car can theoretically generate more downforce than it weighs at speed. That’s the kind of statement you usually only hear in the most extreme corners of track-only engineering.

A New Carbon Tub That’s Lighter and Stiffer
Under all that sculpted carbon bodywork is a new carbon-fiber monocoque. Apollo says it weighs about 363 pounds, making it around 10 percent lighter and 15 percent stiffer than the structure used in the Apollo Intensa Emozione successor platform.
And yes, the car is being developed with HWA AG involved—one of those names that instantly adds credibility if you know German motorsport engineering.
A Cabin Built Around the Driver
Step inside and you’re not getting luxury. You’re getting function. The interior is built almost entirely from carbon fiber and ultra-light “bionic” aluminum structures designed to help manage loads and increase stiffness and safety.
The seats are fixed directly to the monocoque. Instead of sliding seats, you adjust the pedal box for different drivers. The steering is a compact yoke-style unit, shaped for grip and control.
This is where the EVO makes its intentions clear: it’s not trying to be a plush weekend toy. It’s trying to feel like a machine you wear.
Ultra-Rare, Fully Bespoke, and Deep Into Luxury Car Investing Territory
Apollo is only making 10 units of the EVO, and every single one will be built as a bespoke spec for its owner. Pricing starts at around $3.5 million (before local taxes and fees), which places it firmly in the “if you’re asking, you already know the answer” category.
That kind of rarity and attitude also makes it part of the modern Luxury Car Investing conversation—because cars like this don’t just get bought to drive. They get bought to be owned, collected, and remembered.
Conclusion
The Apollo EVO 2026 isn’t trying to beat the mainstream hypercar formula. It’s ignoring it completely. You’re getting a screaming naturally aspirated V12, a proper sequential gearbox, active aero that claims physics-breaking downforce, and a design that feels like it came out of a futuristic track-day fantasy.
And in a world where so many high-end cars are starting to look safe, clean, and predictable, the EVO feels like the opposite on purpose. If what you want is a track-only special that looks violent, sounds insane, and exists purely because someone had the nerve to build it—this might be Apollo’s most outrageous creation yet.
