sensor to prevent lockup. Additionally, the Apollo rides on a pair of truly massive wheels and tires: 9.5x19 light alloy wheels up front wrapped in 245/35 rubber, and 13x19 345/35 performance tires in back.

The interior sits midway between the luxurious Zonda and the stripped out Enzo, but highlights include a tailored driver's seat, plenty of real carbon fiber trim and the option of luxury items such as air conditioning and a navigation system.

Currently, MTM and GMG are still building their first prototypes, but it is expected that they will be completed shortly as the orders for the car will be taken at the end of this year. As the Apollo is a small-run production car, it can more or less be customized according to the buyer's wants, but the rough guidelines set for pricing fall somewhere between 115,000 and 175,000 euros ($141,800 to $215,800).

When available, the car will be distributed through Ossi Versand. There is no word on whether it will be offered in North America. The contributing companies expect to build about 50 vehicles a year for 2005, but with performance like this and a relatively inexpensive selling price that figure could be much larger in the years to come. Aside from making a debut in the production world, the Apollo is also expected to make a debut on the race track, most likely at a long-distance endurance event.
