The Apollo Intensa Emozione is a hypercar produced by German automaker Apollo Automobil. It is the successor to the Gumpert Apollo.
Description
Apollo came out with a teaser video for the Intensa Emozione at October 17, 2017. The car was fully revealed in October 24, 2017. The Intensa Emozione is built in collaboration with Manufattura Automobili Torino and Autotecnica Motori.
The Apollo Intensa Emozione uses the Ferrari F12berlinetta's 6.3-litre F140 FC naturally-aspirated V12 engine. The engine has been slightly modified with a new ECU software, a new custom intake and a new exhaust system developed by Autotecnica Motori. The engine now produces 780 hp (582 kW; 791 PS) at 8,500 rpm and around 560 lb⋅ft (759 N⋅m) of torque at 6,000 rpm. The engine reportedly has a redline of 9,000 rpm. All of the power is sent to the wheels through a 6-speed Hewland sequential manual transmission. The weight stands at 1,250 kg (2,755 lb).
The dampers are built by Bilstein, and are three-way adjustable (comfort, sport, auto). The car utilises Brembo carbon ceramic brakes with sizes 380 x 34 mm at the front and rear along with 6-piston calipers up front and 4-piston callipers at the rear. Michelin supplies their Sport Cup 2 high performance tires for the cars, to allow for maximum performance and grip. Pankl Racing Systems is the supplier for the differential.
The Apollo Intensa Emozione is capable of 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 2.7 seconds, with a projected top speed of 208 mph (335 km/h). The car produces a maximum downforce of 1,350 kg (2,976 lb) at 186 mph (299 km/h).
The car is made almost entirely out of carbon fiber, but it does include high-strength steel, aluminum, and titanium components. The engine bay is left uncovered, to allow the air intake to take in maximum efficiency and performance. The monocoque itself weighs only 105 kg (231 lb).
The Apollo Intensa Emozione will be sold for $2,670,000 in the United States, and €2,300,000 in Europe. Only ten will be produced, all of which have been reportedly sold.
Asphalt 8: Airborne
Summary
The Apollo Intensa Emozione was added to the game during the 2018 Spring Update as a high-end Class S car with the following rank statistics:
- Starting rank: 1400
- MAX rank: 1667
- MAX+PRO rank: 1815
- Tuning Kit bonus: +49
The Apollo Intensa Emozione has a positive Speed Modification of 100.76%, giving it a real total top speed of 317 mph/510.8 km/h.
Performance
The Apollo Intensa Emozione is currently the overall best vehicle in the entire game from ranks ~S1600-S1800 (with the correct upgrades). The Apollo IE's performance is heavily based on the Aston Martin Vulcan's (the previous best vehicle) and can be described as "balanced", with almost the highest levels of performance in every aspect. Notably, the Apollo IE's MAX+PRO raw top speed is significantly higher than the Vulcan's. The high total top speed, quick acceleration and stable handling are slightly superior to the Vulcan's, while the sharp drifting radius is fairly similar to the Vulcan's. The nitro efficiency of 6/11/13, which is considered very good, is inferior to the Vulcan's in level 2/perfect nitro and superior in level 3 nitro.
The Apollo IE is the sixth-fastest vehicle in the game and the third-fastest vehicle in Class S, behind the Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG Special Edition (A), Kawasaki Ninja H2R (S), Devel Sixteen Prototype (S), Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport (A), and BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage (A). Despite not being the fastest vehicle available, the Apollo IE still ranks as the best vehicle in the game because of its significantly superior acceleration, drifting and handling compared to most of these vehicles. The exception to this trend is the Ninja, but that vehicle is a bike and it suffers from its own unique downsides; most importantly, it's actually slower than the Apollo IE most of the time.
The fiercest competitors of the Apollo IE are the Vulcan (balanced, 2nd-best), Arrinera Hussarya GT (balanced, arguably 3rd-best), McLaren MP4-31 (acceleration-biased, arguably 4th-best), and McLaren Mercedes MP4-25 (acceleration-biased, arguably 5th-best). The latter two vehicles accelerate quicker than the Apollo IE but suffer from a range of downsides, making them slightly inferior to the Apollo IE, but still powerful competitors. Aside from these vehicles, the Apollo IE also faces minor competition from the Lamborghini Aventador SV (semi-balanced) and TRION NEMESIS (acceleration-biased). At lower ranks, the Apollo IE face additional competition from the Chevrolet 2016 Camaro SS (speed-biased), SIN R1 (balanced), and Audi R8 e-tron Special Edition (balanced).
The Apollo IE's only major drawbacks are its steep upgrade costs and restrictive availability. It also has a tendency to skid due to its superb handling.
Official review
This is the official review of the Apollo Intensa Emozione on the Asphalt YouTube channel, made BY ASL Tae Hwan Kim and published on May 9, 2018:
Time to reach end of Tokyo straight: 6.798s
Perfect nitro duration: 9.636s
Triple nitro duration: 7.788s
French Guiana lap time: 53.559s
Final verdict: "This car is such an amazing machine. Its stats are awesome and flawless, so it can act well with both MAXPRO tune and MP tune. Without a doubt, the Apollo Intensa Emozione is the new king of Asphalt 8"
Usage (Multiplayer)
Despite having a starting rank that is 180 points higher than the Vulcan's, the Apollo Intensa Emozione is still slightly faster at MAX+PRO due to its higher raw top speed statistic and its slightly higher final rank of S1815. Additionally, the Apollo IE has stellar upgrade rank percentages of 20/30/20/30, shared with the Shelby Cobra 427. This makes it deadly below a rank of S1700, where it can be used to defeat similarly-ranked Vulcans, Hussarya GTs, SIN R1s, MP4-25s, SLK SEs, Hommages, Corvette GS', Camaro SS', Aventador SVs, and Porsche 918 Spyders. Even below a rank of S1600, it is still deadly, competing with Hommages, R8 SEs, SLK SEs, Vulcans, Camaro SS', and SIN R1s. Below S1500, it cannot compete with SLK SEs and R8 SEs.
Some useful non-MAX+PRO Multiplayer tunings include:
- 0500 5050 (S1554); Real speed= 486.3 km/h; Displayed speed= 482.7 km/h
- 0503 5050 (S1590); Real speed= 494.0 km/h; Displayed speed= 490.3 km/h
- 3505 5053 (S1677); Real speed= 503.7 km/h; Displayed speed= 499.9 km/h
- 5505 5555 (S1762); Real speed= 510.8 km/h; Displayed speed= 506.9 km/h
Other popular Multiplayer tunings show a slightly higher emphasis on acceleration in the S1600s, such as 4504 5053, 4504 5054 and 4504 5055.
Usage (Other)
- Main article: Car Mastery/Apollo Intensa Emozione
The Apollo Intensa Emozione's Car Mastery awards a total of 400, 2 Blueprints boxes and 72.
The Apollo IE's performance at MAX+PRO also makes it extremely useful for Class S Events where it is featured.
Price
The Apollo Intensa Emozione cannot be purchased with credits nor built with Blueprints; it can only be obtained through the completion of its R&D event. The Intensa Emozione also has a hidden purchase price of 20,000, making it the second most expensive car in the game to purchase (only the 2015 GTA Spano is more expensive).
The Apollo Intensa Emozione is one of only five vehicles that require -only upgrades (the other four vehicles being the Apollo N, Audi R8 e-tron Special Edition, BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage and Mosler Super GT). With both and combined, it costs 1,567,150 and 13,695 to MAX out. Pro Kits require 2,197,525, as well as 27 of each Class S part card, 56 Mid-Tech, 28 Advanced Tech, and 48 V12 Engine cards.
