The German supercar maker, Gumpert, is adding a new two-seater Tourer model to their lineup, which, up until now, only consisted of the Apollo. This new sports car will be based on a new central engine chassis and V8-powered drivetrain, and will be designed by Touring Superleggera. The official debut will be made on March 1st, 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show.
This new model will be setting a new standard for Gumpert as high-end engineering, sportiness, and elegance will come together to join the street-legal performance of the Apollo. The superleggera will feature composite body panels placed on a space frame and a carbon fiber monocoque. These elements will allow the Tornante to be much more spacious than the Apollo.
Call us crazy, but it doesn’t seem as if the exterior design for the Tornante is all that different from the Apollo. The biggest difference we can see is the open top, which leads us to believe that the gullwing doors will be eliminated from the overall design. And we can’t forget to mention that horrid gold exterior paint. Of course, these are just sketches at the moment, so we’ll have to wait until the Geneva Motor Show to get all of the details for the Gumpert Tornante by Touring after its official debut.
