  • This is the apex AP zero, and it's trying to pull off something that, in theory, shouldn't be possible.

  • There's a reason we've seen plenty of electric SUVs, saloons and two ton hyper cars because batteries of heavy the AP zero, however, is being billed as a light weight electric supercar with an appetite for race tricks.

  • Let's dive straight in with the number, shall we?

  • Because Apex appears to have pulled this thing off.

  • Curb weight is 1200 kilograms, which is extraordinary, considering it as a 90 kilowatt hour battery stuffed under the floor wearing 550 kilograms on its own.

  • It's motor producers 650 brake horsepower.

  • It's really drive.

  • It would do naught to 62 in 2.3 seconds and hit a 190 mile an hour top speed plus find the willpower to drive it gently, and it has a range of 320 miles on the W L T P cycle and can charge from 0 to 80% in 15 minutes.

  • No expense has been spared on the chassis, either.

  • It features F one style pushrod suspension, while the key to keeping things really light is the carbon fibre tub at its core, wrapped in carbon fibre body panels, carbon fiber wheels, 19 inch of the front, 20 inch of the rear chip in too, along with carbon ceramic brake discs and a sparsely furnished interior.

  • In terms of size, think Porsche Cayman in length, although it's wider and lower than the Porsche, despite that roof mounted Finn.

  • Oh, and the doors aren't bad, either.

  • Let's talk about design, because cars, the put speed and lightness above all else aren't usually attractive in the traditional sense.

  • But this is a good looking thing.

  • It looks like some sort of pissed off stormtrooper, which I like.

  • In fact, guide Coburn, the cars designer, has an even more interesting take on that front end.

  • Apex is based in Hong Kong, so I wanted to do something that had some ideas for Hong Kong in China and get it kind of Eastern identity as well.

  • That kind of Chinese culture.

  • You have this idea of the dragon.

  • The dragon is intrinsic to China.

  • It's a symbol there, off wealth and prosperity and luck.

  • And also, if you look at dragons, they have this very expressive face in front of a car.

  • I wanted to give this car kind of dragon identity.

  • We settled on Ally Idea Off Cyber Dragon, a robot dragon.

  • So game of Thrones fans are gonna love it and just check out those blade like storks for the win cameras and the central Finn, which not only stabilizes the car at high speeds, it also houses the light.

  • Our sensor that gives the car it's autonomous capabilities.

  • Yep, you heard me right.

  • Despite being a focused driving machine, the AP zero has level free autonomy, not quite a hands off feet up take me to work.

  • But auto braking, adaptive cruise control and lanky persist all included.

  • And we'll help take the edge off if you're brave enough to use this car regularly, and it's prepped for even higher levels of autonomy when legislation allows.

  • My favorite view, though, is around the back.

  • Notice how the horizontal like bars intersected by a vertical light running from the Finn into the diffuser, thus forming the company's logo.

  • Clever.

  • Also, there's no wing.

  • That's because with 95 millimeters ground clearance a completely flat floor on dhe, a mammoth M shape diffuser, all the required downforce is produced by ground effect.

  • The interior is predictably pared back with leather lined carbon fiber bucket seats and a driving position where your feet are in line with your hips.

  • The Finn theme continues inside to creating a hygienic divide between driver and passenger.

  • While there's a curvy, arrow shaped instrument display behind the squash steering wheel and a further control panel between the two seats, Apex also talked about a holographic, augmented reality display and and a our race instructor.

  • We didn't get a chance to play with them, but apparently they help you to learn new tracks, so it's rapid packed with technology and a fine thing to look at.

  • So what's the catch?

  • Well, probably the price costing from £150,000 plus local taxes.

  • That's 190 grand in the UK It's not exactly cheap, but it is almost real.

  • Production is planned to kick off at the end of 2022.

This is the apex AP zero, and it's trying to pull off something that, in theory, shouldn't be possible.
