Apollo Future Mobility Group, the company behind the extreme Intensa Emozione, has been quietly working for the past two years on a completely different beast. Gone are the 6.3-liter Ferrari V12 engines naturally aspirated from hypercars as there are no greasy parts in the new G2J. Don’t get too excited just yet as this is not a production ready model, but a pure electric rolling prototype.
You’d be forgiven for thinking it had a big petrol engine judging by the large air intakes. Apollo’s latest creation looks pretty reasonable, and dare we say it’s mediocre, especially when compared to the wild IE. Technical specifications are not disclosed at this time, but we know the G2J is being developed by engineering teams from Germany and Japan.

This swoopy electric sports car eliminates the conventional rearview mirror by adopting a camera. It has a rear-mounted charging port, between taillights featuring a U-shaped graphic. Other striking features include the ever-spectacular butterfly doors, roof-mounted scoops, and prominent fenders.
Inside the cabin, there are lots of carbon fiber exposed areas combined with Alcantara for the bucket seats, dashboard and center console. The Apollo G2J has a leather-wrapped flat-toed steering wheel in the same saddle brown color as the door straps. Three small screens to the right of the steering wheel appear to control climate settings when the start/stop button is positioned at the top.
Nestled between the seats are a swivel knob, an electric window switch, two additional buttons, and what looks like a red emergency switch. The tablet-like display doubles as a digital instrument cluster and there is a screen in the corner of the dashboard that provides footage captured by the side exterior camera.
Unfortunately there is no word on turning the prototype into a production car in the future. However, Apollo Future Mobility Group says that the G2J is a sign of things to come when it comes to lightweight construction through carbon fiber and composite materials. In addition, a preview of the road-going electric sports car will be developed at the R&D center in Germany.
