The Apollo Evo is finally finished! And it’s called the ‘Caribbean Dragon’…

It’s finished! It’s completely insane! It’s… not strictly road legal! Yes friends, Apollo is back. And the ‘Evo’ hypercar it first revealed as a fully functional, razor-sharp prototype back in 2021 is ready for full-scale series production.

Except they’re only building ten. This one is the first to emerge from the German factory, and it’s dubbed ‘Caribbean Dragon’.

Apollo likes a bit of dragon inspiration, not least because this thing’s festooned with wings, horns, evil thoughts and exhales fire when you make it cross. Chiefly, the dragon factor comes from the 3D-printed titanium exhaust with a unique scaley finish.

Apollo calls it ‘Dragon Skin’, claims it will withstand temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees Celsius, and can be ordered in a variety of colour finishes. Yep, we got choose-your-multicolour exhausts before GTA6.

It takes 123 hours to print the exhaust out, and it’s the largest single-piece 3D printed exhaust ever devised for a car. And it’s quite the conversation piece. But then, so is the bodywork, made of more than 75 individual carbon fibre shards.

So is the fact the two-tone paintwork took more than 1,000 hours to be hand-finished. And that if you trip over nearby you’ll need more stitches than if you high-five Edward Scissorhands.

Inside there’s much blue-tinted carbon fibre, 3D-printed aluminium and a focus of physical switchgear which we very much approve of. There’s a hint of Lamborghini Sesto Elemento to the sparse dashboard structure and racecar steering wheel with blade-like paddles.

In the gold-lined engine bay lies a 6.3-litre V12 which was, once upon a time, a Ferrari engine. But it’s been completely reworked and enhanced by race specialists HWA AG, so it now develops 800PS (789bhp) and fires the Evo from 0-62mph in a claimed 2.7 seconds. The claimed top speed is 207mph.

What happens on the way is interesting too. Apollo claims that bonkers bodywork generates 1,350kg of downforce. Meanwhile, the dry weight is a mere 1,300kg. So, if you could find a very lightweight driver, and put in the minimum dribble of fuel, coolant and oil… could it run upside down?

We’re unlikely to ever find out, partly because only 10 will ever exist, partly because it costs €3 million (plus taxes) and mostly because you’d have to be mad to attempt it. But this is a mad car. It’s not even road legal, but neither was Apollo’s previous pointy supercar, the Intensa Emozione – and a few of those seem to have found their way onto the public highway…

You’ll see (and hear) the Caribbean Dragon snorting its way up and down the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb. As for the public road afterwards? Well, an owner wouldn’t dream of it, surely…
