MTM & GMG Combine Forces to Create the Ultimate Supercar

Three Audi-Derived 4.2-Liter V8s Power the New Upstart Supercar

So far, the 21st century has been an identical copy of the events in the early 1990s, relating to supercars that is. Just over a

decade ago, dozens of car manufacturers started a world-wide horsepower war to see who could create the most powerful and therefore fastest car to grace the road. McLaren took the title in its three-seat F1, while Jaguar entered the party a little late with its XJ220. Even Yamaha had an entry, albeit only in concept. Nevertheless the OX-99, a mid-engined formula 1-like tandem seat car did its job stimulating auto show crowds. In all the excitement Bugatti was resurrected and the quad-turbo all-wheel drive EB110 born.

After an economic recession claimed all but a handful of supercars, the mission to create the fastest vehicle in the world is back on. While America is getting into the game, with Ford having recently introduced the GT40 inspired GT and Chrysler seriously considering going ahead with its outrageously quick ME Four Twelve, Europe has the strongest

Cars from main players such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche continue to entice enthusiasts, but now smaller, independent boutique automakers such as Spyker, Koenigsegg, B. Engineering and Pagani are making a dent. GMG, a new car manufacturer, will attempt to beat all with its 650 horsepower 360 km/h Apollo supercar.

While most initial reports on the internet claim that the Apollo is a full product of MTM, digging under the surface reveals that while MTM supplied funding and the Audi-derived drivetrain for the vehicle, a good fit being that MTM specializes in high-performance Audi products, GMG built the car.
