It's just the humorous side of the review. Of course he likes it in real life :) He just meant that it's not built for the looks, it's built for the track. Personally I think she's prettier than the Veyron.
Well then it's disqualified as a supercar and should be referred to as a dedicated trackday-car.
Barely road-legal but crushingly fast on a track.
I want me supercars to be elegant (reference the 911 Turbo, the Audi R8, the Lamborghini Gallardo and Murcielago, the Ferrari 599 and the 430, not to mention the Pagani Zonda F).
If a car sacrifices looks for performance it is no longer a supercar in my opinion. That doesn't make it bad. It just bumps it down my wishlist.
@MrFalconfly Then you are telling us that the Ferrari F40 is not a supercar? A car tha UNIVERSALLY is known as a super car, because the whole styling and interior (or lack of it) was made so the car was fast, not elegant.
@MrFalconfly Though, you are not going to tell me that the Ferrari Enzo is elegant, because is not. And the zonda F must be the least elegant zonda after de R... IS NAKED CARBON FIBER and the interior doesn't fill that gap because is not elegant: Is red with aluminium and chrome details.
I mean I think the Zonda F looks good because it manages to make naked Carbon-fibre look good (instead of a large checkered area it has a sort of wedge running down the car it actually looks good). An I love the Zonda interior. Yeah red might be a bit shouty but all the detailing looks gorgeous.
And yeah the F40 was spartan. That's why I've always preferred the 959. THat managed the same sort of power without sacrificing that much.
@MrFalconfly and you would look like every other stuck up as#$Hole driving down the road with their rear foot supports and rear seat TV's. Just go mix in with the herd of Lexus, Cadillac and Infinit owners and enjoy your commute.
I too like a crisp, direct driving experience. Just not all the time. I'd like to be able to blast round a circuit but also be able to just lie back and drive the kids to school (a Porsche 911 would be perfect here). I'd also like it to not look too flashy with loads of spoilers, intakes, wings and the like (the Lexus LFA or Gumpert Apollo are particular offenders in this field).
I don't see the 8C. I think that Alfa looks really stupid. I also think that the Apollo looks really good. I especially love the tail lights. They're an interesting shape, like the Murcielago's.
I don't think it looks that bad.. Looks better than a lot of supercars that many people buy for looks, I prefer something that can actually perform for my money.
@W1LDwanderer well it isn't the prettiest car in the world, but once you know why it looks like that you wont care anymore that it looks like a "frog"
@chayang23 NOT! You are seriously mistaken...in contrast to other supercars this was really made for the one purpose to rock on actual tracks. guess you would have noticed when paying attention to the setup variables etc. The Apollo Sport actually made the Nordschleife in 7:11 which is WAY faster than the oh so fast ZR1 "laprecord"
This is such a sexy looking car. Top gear is always bashing cars that don't fit their specific European taste, and I DON'T LIKE IT. I like this show but I'm sick of them constantly bashing cars like this, and I also think they don't give american cars fair reviews unless its something like a corvette. And yet there have been times on the show when they've talked about how beautiful the ugliest car I've ever seen on their show is. Brits have strange taste...
this car looks like the love-child of the mazda rx-8 and the Bugatti. i think its pretty sexy. only thing they could change is the name and the awkward looking shift stick thingy... no homo
Why the hell does he bag the looks? It's looks as 24hrGT fk'n fast and as hot as it is!
Eye of the beholder 'n all that I guess but then again the fastest power to weight cars on the planet are 10:1 gas powered plastic toyota le'mans copies... and if you think about it maby this is just one of them, camera tricks?!?... I mean Hammond would fit in one after all...
To everyone commenting saying it looks good. No it doesn't look as good as the Italian supercars. But in saying that, race cars do not look good. This car isn't built for looks, which is if I was to buy this car; what I'd expect to pay for. But it does look cheap. Not like most German cars.. Looks like a Toyota race car
i think that guys just mad cuz his cars are ugly as shit so to make him feel better he downs that car the apollo so he is ashamed of himself.I swer that car is fucking amazing.
@XxxpotheadsmokerxxX there are 2 reasons u like the Bugatti so muck. 1, it's the fastest car in the world, even though it handles and looks like rubbish. 2, u just wanna be like the TG presenters
that car got the moste beastly looks and MY GOD i'm gonna get one as soon as i get some cash for it :D! i LOVE LOVE Love it and i think the guy should shut up it looks better then lamborghini and ferrari and koenieggs and porsche and venom GT BECAUSE IT'S HARDCORE STREET THAT WHAT IT IS SO GO TO BED ALL HATERS :D!
the Noble looks similar. I think its sexy as sH!t
