Apollo Automobil has revealed a surprising “Dragon Pores and skin Exhaust” for its Apollo EVO hypercar – a one-piece, absolutely titanium, laser-sintered element that took 123 hours to provide.
The putting exhaust is created from aerospace-grade TA15 alloy, chosen for its energy and thermal resistance, and has a high-temperature ceramic coating rated to 1,000°C and which is utilized over the alloy substrate.
Apollo Automobil mentioned the exhaust’s single-piece development wouldn’t have been doable via standard manufacturing, and credited Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) ideas as the idea for a geometry that standard fabrication strategies couldn’t replicate.
Kind and performance in a single element
The exhaust’s floor texture attracts from Apollo’s dragon-themed naming philosophy — every of the extremely restricted version 10 EVO models carries a definite dragon designation — with a scale-like sample that additionally serves a thermal administration operate, distributing warmth throughout the construction. The system is obtainable in unique colorways alongside the ceramic coating.
“Apollo’s Dragon Pores and skin exhaust embodies the model’s core design DNA, serving as one other extraordinary piece of Rebellious German Engineering,” the corporate mentioned in a press release.
“It seamlessly merges artwork, storytelling and excessive engineering right into a single useful element. Sculpted to evoke awe, it represents the subsequent stage of design evolution from Apollo Automobil.”
A $4 million hypercar, one exhaust at a time
The Apollo EVO is constructed round a Ferrari F140 V12 engine producing over 800 horsepower, paired with a six-speed sequential transmission. It carries a price ticket exceeding $4 million — up from the $2.5 million commanded by its predecessor, the Apollo Intensa Emozione.
Manufacturing is capped at 10 models, with the primary supply anticipated within the first half of 2026.
“Following the success of the Apollo Intensa Emozione, it was apparent for us to push the envelope even additional,” mentioned Niko Konta, Chief Government Officer at Apollo Automobil.
“To extract the fullest potential from the platform, we’ve got fine-tuned an already distinctive design whereas making use of the newest in cutting-edge applied sciences and processes to actually take the Evo to a different degree.”
