The Apollo Intensa Emozione, also known as Apollo IE, is a mid-engine sports car manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Apollo Automobil GmbH, in partnership with Manifattura Automobili Torino, designed by their chief designer Jowyn Wong.[2] Intensa Emozione means "Intense Emotion" in Italian.
The Intensa Emozione is the first vehicle made by Apollo since the Gumpert Apollo went into production 14 years ago. Apollo came out with a teaser video for the Intensa Emozione on October 17, 2017, [3] and the car was fully revealed on October 24, 2017. In June 2018, Apollo revealed that the company would be partnering with HWA AG, a tuning and racing team spin-off from Mercedes-Benz tuner AMG, to complete the final stage of development for the car.[4][5][6] The Intensa Emozione was priced at $2,670,000 in the United States, and €2,300,000 in Europe. Only ten were produced, all of which had been reportedly sold.[7][8]
