Even At Light Throttle, The Apollo IE's V12 Sounds Amazing
Even though it’s super-limited, super-expensive and limited to the track, we can’t help but be wowed by Apollo’s incredible IE hypercar. When the use of turbochargers and hybrid systems is becoming ever more prevalent in high-end supercars and hypercars, the idea of something using a massive, naturally-aspirated V12 and nothing else is pretty damn heroic.
Now, we get to hear the 6.3-litre, 769bhp unit for the first time. Well, at “light throttle” and under 4000rpm, during this short clip of testing at Cremona Circuit in Italy. But if it sounds this good with the throttle being tickled, imagine what it’s going to be like at maximum attack…

I forgot how good the zonda sounds
I can’t wait to hear it scream at full throttle…
The engine’s noise is hella successful
Reminds me of the Zonda…
They should call it symphony circuit right now
It’s everything I wanted plus way way more
Yhat feel when it sounds like a regular modern day sports car below 4k
Don’t give Apollo credit, it’s a Ferrari engine
What a glorious voice!
love the whine of a straight cut gears
