You may recall Gumpert recently announced it hooked up with Touring Superleggera to knock out a pretty, fast and estate-shaped supercar.
Well, here it is. And as you can see, it's a lot happier.
Touring Superleggera, those geniuses behind the fantabulous Bentley Shooting Brake concept, has made merry with the ‘elegance' brief issued by Gumpert, as you can see from this teaser.
The Tornante gets gullwing doors, composite body panels over a chrome-molybdenum steel space frame with a carbon-fibre monocoque, and the Apollo's twin-turbo Audi 4.2-litre V8 engine. As in that car, it develops 700bhp, and features a paddle-shift auto ‘box, and a similar double-wishbone suspension setup, obviously modified to accommodate the new bodystyle.
We'll bring you more updates from the show floor on Geneva when it premieres...

This looks like it could be a stunner, much softer than the standard (lol standard) Apollo.

Lets see how one of the best track car manufacturers does when it makes a soft (by their standard, incredibly amazing car by anyone else's) road car.

Like Metallica before them, Gumpert has gone soft. There are plenty of GTs and gentleman's sports cars out there. Somebody needs to stay firm and make function over form, downforce-at-any-cost supercars.
