Gumpert at Tech

The Gumpert apollo is going through tech inspection for a shake down run at TEXAS MILE.

The EVOMS team is the USA representative for the Gumpert apollo . While there is no concern about pressing the car over 200mph, the purpose for the Texas runs is to prepare of the apollo 's soon to be announced run at a USA road course. Stay tuned for more news about where Gumpert will appear.

Put eyeballs on Gumpert-Racing.com for more information about the Gumpert apollo in the USA.

Punching the Limits!

Update from Goliad, TX. Saturday, 17 October 09

The EVOMS team continues Punching the Limits of the atmosphere as they surpass 200+ miles per hour.

In the action shot on the left, provided by PHOTOGRAPHIC TENDENCIES, EVOMS founder and head driver, Todd Zuccone takes a controlled exit in a Porsche GT2 at over 200mph. With a 30 mile an hour cross wind and dry weather conditions the course is proving frustrating for all the participants at TEXAS MILE this year.

According to a representative of FRAGSPEED MOTORSPORTS who is on the ground in Texas, "JOETWINT's EVOMS 996 GTXXXX record of 231.4mph will most likely stand this year as conditions are not favorable for breaking records. But as usual it is fun as hell here!"

Stay tuned for more information as the iPhones and Twitterberries send them!

Head in Texas!

The EVOMS team arrived in Goliad for the Texas Mile. They are doing shake down runs for more focused runs on Saturday and Sunday.

From EVOMS, Livin' Texas Mile High!

Early runs are in the 220+ range. Heavy heat and dry cross winds are making for a dusty track and restrictive runs. Stay tuned for more throughout the weekend!

Gumpert build - Day 2 - Dyno

Here is the second day of the Gumpert apollo build. We had the car together, started and running.

From Gumpert apollo build

This run is not for Horsepower/Torque reading as you have been used to seeing, but for testing the car to assure everything is where it belongs and does what it is supposed to. Besides, where else can you drive 140mph while watching the engine components!?

And yes... the white numbers on the speedo are MILES per hour... Kilometers are on the inside ring in orange. Today's shake down ranges from 0 - 140.

Gumpert build - Day 2

Great work coming along on the apollo. Today was hoses, fluids and some adjusting. The, assembly of the rear end and body panels.

Watch on Monday for the car to be running and on the dyno for shake down.

And so it begins!

Marc and Jörg from Gumpert in Germany arrived on Labor Day in Arizona. Today they began working with John Bray and the team at Evolution MotorSports to start assembly of the Gumpert apollo. Amazing progress in one day. Engine, trans in place. Tomorrow lines and fluids.

Big News at EVOMS!

The GTXXXX has been in development for nearly 2 years. On 22 July 2009, it set yet another new record!

Congrats to everyone at EVOMS for all the hard work. Special thanks to Joe Twint for the inspiration! It is great to have customers as obsessed as we are!

Happy Customers!

Nothing better than Premier Partners using Evolution MotorSports products to make their customers insane with performance driving! Here is a quote from Evolution MotorSports customer TKX Performance in Huntington Station, NY.

"Todd, I just got a call from the customer with the GT2 EVT620. He claims we built him the perfect car. From idle to redline in every gear, he couldn't ask for more. On the way back to the Hamptons he raced a C63 AMG, a Yamaha 600 and a Scuderia, and he believes that they all went home and sold their rides. He said it was an embarrassment. Great Job once again Todd!!!"

Hello Mr. Gumpert!

So, is it the first days of summer and the fact that some places in Germany are still fighting with snow shovels??

Perhaps the strong Euro against the US Dollar for some car shopping? What about the Grand Canyon or proximity to Vegas??? Those are understandable reasons for Germans to visit Arizona in May!

But really, what could bring the Founder and President of Gumpert and maker of the Gumpert Apollo and his senior technician Hans-Peter Fischer all the way to Arizona?

Why is Mr. Gumpert shaking hands with the guy that just designed and drove the fastest Porsche in the world???
Why is Ian grinning like he just got a new bike for Christmas?? Stay tuned next week for some answers!

If you think YOU know all these answers. Reply here in the ZÜCZSPEED blog "comments" and the winner gets a free* case of RACE FUEL High Octane Energy Drink!

The WORLD Record Run..

Today (Saturday) the EVOMS team ran strong again. While the 997 EVT850 Performance System continues to press on 200mph (recording 198 in the morning run) the 996 with the GTXXX Performance System continues to shatter records established just hours before by the same GTXXX system.

From Texas Mile 2009

The GTXXX owned by long time EVOMS customer and friend, Joe G, hit 230.9MPH. Watch for one last press on Sunday before the team packs up to head back to Arizona!

"Number of the Beast! S1066"

"I'm sorry officer... my right foot has a mind of it's own.."

Well, that tried and true excuse is not going to save us!

We all know of the swarm of automatic and mobile photo radar sites infecting Arizona roadways. However, all of us locals and visitors to Arizona need to be aware of this new legislation being considered by Arizona law makers. The legislators call it, "S1066" of the Transportation Code...

We will call it, the "Number of the Beast! S1066". Read it and be warned...

S1066 TRANSPORTATION; RACING ON HIGHWAYS

Changes in statutes pertaining to the crime of racing on highways, including extending to 48 months from 24 months the range of time within which a second or subsequent violation will result in enhanced penalties. The fine for a first violation is increased to $750 from $250, and the fine for a second violation is doubled to $1000 from $500.

Moral to the story. Get to the track! Be careful... and get ready, call EVOMS about the full line of Escort detectors, now...

European Touch sent over the Gumpert Apollo assembled by EVOMS in September. Here's a slideshow with just a taste of the coolness!
