The fully-synchronised, sequential six-speed transmission, that incorporates Formula 1 know-how, guarantees the efficient implementation of the energy generated. The short gear paths allow high speed gear changes. The arrangement of the gears in a longitudinal direction in the path of travel ensures that the centre of gravity is very low and that the weight is optimally distributed. The characteristic sound of the double-flow exhaust system of the Apollo with its 3-way catalytic converters says it best - the Apollo is pure, unbeatable performance as reflected in the data: The maximum performance of 478 kW (641 HP) at 6,000 revs per minute, 360 km/h (224mph) top speed depending on the selected aerodynamic package and the maximum torque of 850 Nm (626.9 lb ft) at 4,500 rev/min are figures that, in combination with the suspension system, ensures a driving experience of the highest order. Like a comet, the Apollo catapults the pilot from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just three seconds and only needs 8.9 seconds from 0 to 200 km/h (0-124 mph). For connoisseurs who do not necessarily connect driving enjoyment with maximum motor performance and ultimate acceleration, the engine is also ideally suited for day-to-day driving at lower speeds.
