Apollo Intense Emozione (IE) is a high-performance supercar that defines the best feat of engineering and design. Unveiled in 2017 by the now-defunct Apollo Automobile, the Intense Emozione is meant to both honor that company’s name (Apollo was short for “Apollo racing”) and exemplify what extreme takes on hyper cars can look like. Well, the IE fuses bold design with advanced tech to create a no-compromise track-day weapon. Design and Aerodynamics the Apollo Intense Emozione carries radical and aggressive design cues. And its exterior is one of the most aerodynamically efficient and visually striking cars on the road. A L-themed radiator grille gives it a wider, lower stance and sharp new lines make the 2021 IS look imposing while ensuring sculpted bodywork optimize high-speed stability with added downforce. The IE employs purposeful aero that helps to improve performance. Thus, the car features a front splitter, meaty side skirts and an aggressive rear diffuser to help create downforce without increasing drag. The rear wing, meanwhile is a two-way piece allowing for up or downforce to be altered with the conditions. This also includes a massive rear air intake that helps cool the engine and boosts performance. The body of the Intesa Emozione is made entirely from carbon fiber, helping not only shed weight but also adding extra rigidity. Carbon fiber saves weight and also boosts performance and handling. Both are striking cars, their unique design features—like the IE’s bold front grille and dramatic rear end—a a guaranteed head-turner. Powertrain and Performance Powering the Apollo Intesa Emozione is a 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 developed with Italy’s Auto Technical Motoric, located in Bologna. The high-revving engine delivers an impressive 780 hop and 561 lo-fi of torque that endows the IE with exhilarating performance. Working with those engines is a six-speed sequential transmission tailored to make quick but precision gear changes. Intesa Emozione performance figures the car will be able to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 2.7 seconds, and it hits a top speed of over 208 mph (335 kilometer). These capabilities are only bolstered by the IE’s advanced suspension design — double-wishbone on all four corners. As expected, this configuration delivers unmatched handling and stability to ice the IE for on- as well off-road performance. The brake system, developed in collaboration with Brembo, is equally up to the task of bringing this beast back down from ludicrous speed–carbon-ceramic brakes provide reliable and consistent stopping power. An advanced electronic stability control system also compliments the IE’s dynamic handling, aiding the driver to maintain traction even under aggressive driving conditions.
Interior and Technology
Interior of the Apollo Intesa Emotion makes driver connection and comfort a top priority. The cockpit is minimalistic, but more than adequate in operation and incorporates a central digital display screen for recordable performance data. There are buttons on the steering wheel to adjust settings across a range of functions and the seats are intended provide support while being comfortable for long periods at high speeds. And while it does feel luxurious… std. materials like leather and Alcantara help with this-padding is wonderful but kind of mimics a couch at pieces). Be it track-focused, but the interior offerings for IE are designed to focus driver on a refinement driving experience with intricate details and artisan qualities wherever you look.
Production and Legacy
the Intesa Emotion is made by Apollo Automobile and just 10 will be built. Add in the car’s performance and radical styling, as well as its low production volume, and it means that the IE is a desirable collectible. Every vehicle is hand-built with enormous pride, professionalism and care. The Apollo Intesa Emotion has marked an important moment in the world of hyper cars, demonstrating that German upstart brand’s ambitious rejuvenation to move automotive engineering goalposts. And its blend of hardcore design, formidable performance and cutting-edge tech have made it a standout in the high-performance space.
Conclusion
The Apollo Intesa Emozione is the very best of what a supercar can be in terms of both performance and design. The IE is a truly unforgettable car from its bold design through to the fearsome powertrain combined with cutting-edge track performance technology creating one of the rarest and most exciting driving experiences. The Apollo Automobile Intesa Emozione is proof of that: it represents the pinnacle of what can happen when engineering and passion combine to create an extraordinary vehicle.
