performance aside, im not used to looking at it yet
it is full of performance design cues but to me it is lacking that artistic merit
not that people who buy this should be worrying about its looks when u can blow past ppl at 200mph

Isn't that what they are? lol.

Anyone who said the F430 and Enzo are true performance cars when this thing exists are fools. There is always the F430 Scuderia Cup cars for the F430, there are always the Fxx to the Enzo, but there are no lighter, meaner, and racier version of the Apollo... unless I am mistaken.

There are 3 versions of the Apollo - Base, Sport, and Race at 641, 691, and 789 HP respectively.

But beyond the change in HP there is nothing significantly different between each version.

Its not like Base model is dinner party mobile with the mrs wrapped in leather with sat nav, and race is hardcore racing with bucket seats and roll cage.
