Gumpert apollo hybrid

A green car for the Green Hell, a private team round about ex-Formula 1 driver Heinz Harald Frentzen will be entering an electric-petrol hybrid race car into the next 24 Hours Nurnburgring this May. The race car is based on the Gumpert apollo and will be piloted by Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Dirk Muller.
 
The Hybrid apollo uses both an 100 kW electric motor and a 3.3 liter V8 bi-turbo petrol engine and produces a total of 630 hp.

"Motorsports can not ignore the necessity to save energy. I see a chance that our sport will go back to the forefront of technical development, making cars outside of the racetrack much more energy efficient," said Frentzen.
