    Yepp ...Gumpert !

    Doesn't exactly roll of the tongue (not even the native one) ...but would you look at that :

    Gumpert Apollo, road legal race car with a 4.2 modified Audi engine, 800 bhp (or thereabaouts) and 800 NM

    Apparently it creates so much downforce that you could (theoretically) drive it at speed on the ceiling of a tunnel, upside down

    And they are competing at this weeks Nurburgring 24hrs race with a hybrid! See here.

    I think it's a class car, might not be the prettiest but it's exclusive.

    In the clip, your man claims it can do that. I'd be a bit more impressed if he just showed us :D
