Gumpert build - Day 2 - Dyno

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

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.

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.
