GUMPERT takes off!



The sports car manufacturer GSM GUMPERT Sportwagenmanufaktur GmbH is launching into the coming few years with a new investor. An enlargement of the product range is planned.



Managing Director Roland Gumpert commented euphorically on the future of his company, "Our distribution and dealer networks are being expanded worldwide and sister models will soon be added to the apollo. What's more, we'll already be presenting the first of these models this year at a major trade fair".



First of all, the company will be presenting itself this year at the 83rd Geneva International Motor Show in Hall 2, Stand 2057, with two current apollo s.

German supercar maker Gumpert didn't bring any new models to the Geneva show this year – just a couple of current-generation Apollos, seen above – but it did come bearing some interesting news about prospective vehicles. In a brief press release that mentions new investment in the company, Gumpert's managing director says, "Our distribution and dealer networks are being expanded worldwide and sister models will soon be added to the Apollo. What's more, we'll already be presenting the first of these models this year at a major trade fair."That is heartening news from a company that declared insolvency just about a year ago following a disastrous foray into the Chinese market. Either that flirtation with financial danger had little influence on the company to date, or the new investor has deep pockets, or both.At any rate, the short statement from Gumpert offers more hope than ever that we'll see the rumored Tornante model , and maybe sooner rather than later. A sleek, 700-horsepower Gumpert won't be easy to hide at upcoming auto shows , we're guessing, now that we've been given some notice. Stay tuned.
