    What an insane car. I love how literally everything about it is dramatic. It is so stunning to look at. Getting to see it in this cohesive carbon look vs multi-patterned/colored looks I've seen online, which aren't particularly my taste, is a game changer. While it's part of the charm, it's a pitty they are so rare. I'd adore getting to see one.

    I think that maybe 50% of the “challenge” to drive the Apolo IE is the sequential transmission. A good DCT would improve things greatly, considering those hp and tq numbers are not a problem these days. But then again, the IE stands for Intense Emotion”! 😂
