Last we heard from Apollo, we learned that its upcoming 789bhp V12-powered hypercar"s development had been passed over to HWA AG, the racecar engineering team that brewed Mercedes-AMG"s CLK GTRs in the mid-to-late 1990s. But the story has developed a bit. Developed into something loud, winged, and fast-looking. Developed into a racer. Yep, Apollo"s hired out the Lausitzring circuit in Germany, which combines a high-speed banked oval, a la IndyCar, with a technical infield circuit. There"s also not too many locals on the other side of the looming grandstands to get prissy about a naturally aspirated V12 being wound out to such high revs, only dogs can hear it.
