Performance
In-game, it is one of the worst vehicles to be used in Drag, but one of the fastest on Highway, Circuit and Cross Country. It has average handling, brakes and top speed, but a below-average acceleration making this car hard to use. Overall, its a decent car for its price and players are recommended to purchase this.

Trivia
- The old in-game model name, "Helios", is named after the god and personification of the Sun, while "Apollo", its current real-life name, is named after one of the Olympian deities. Both of these names can be coordinated with ancient Greek religion and mythology, which is probably where the developers got the in-game name from.
- In 2001, Roland Gumpert, the Founder of the automotive company, wanted the criteria of this car to be street-legal, but also ready for the racetrack.
- This was the only car to be developed by Gumpert Sportwagenmanufaktur GmbH before filing for bankruptcy in August 2013.
