Apollo has revealed an electric supercar prototype

Engineering prototype gives us a small ‘hint’ at a future EV performance car

Published: 11 Oct 2022

The news here isn’t that there’s yet another electric performance car on the horizon, but that its storied purveyors have come over all… sensible.

It’s even got a sensible name, albeit one that sounds like an experimental washing machine, not an electric supercar. Welcome to the G2J, which previews Apollo’s next performance EV… and doesn’t.

“The beautiful form of this test car is just a hint of the future design of a series of performance cars that will take the Apollo hypercar DNA and apply it to create the most exciting sporting focused EVs on the planet,” said Apollo boss Eric Ho.

Ah yes, Apollo’s hypercar DNA. Few will forget the impact of the company’s Intensa Emozione track special, which rather brilliantly fused a 6.3-litre V12 into the silhouette of a steroidal insect. Then came that car’s follow-up, dubbed Project Evo, which somehow managed to look like it came from a place in the universe hitherto undiscovered.

That the G2J looks so… normal, is a surprise. Though, Apollo notes that “the rolling prototype is not indicative of the soon-to-be-unveiled first AFMG electric sports car concept”. It merely reflects the “broad dimensions and aerodynamic characteristics”.

So maybe not so sensible after all, then. Watch this space.
