My first and foremost big dream in life is to find a woman who I can take to the Nurburgring Nordschliefe in Germany, and best my times. That is the woman I shall marry.
Sabine Schmidt is your woman then!

Say hello to the Gumpert Apollo, sort of a "side project" with quattro gmbh and Motoren Technik Mayer
"Initial versions of the Apollo that hit the market this September will be powered by a twin-turbo 4.2-liter V8 that also saw use in Audi’s RS6. This engine has been expertly breathed on by MTM, and is quite similar to the tuned engine the German-based Audi tuner ran in their modded Audi RS6 Plus. Power has been boosted from 450-hp in the RS6 to 650-hp at 6800 rpm and torque to 597 lb ft. at 5000 rpm. That result is a whopping 156-hp per liter.
Weight is only 2,161 lbs., making for pretty heady performance claims by the justifiably bawdy manufacturer. Gumpert claims 0-62 mph in a whiplash inducing 3.0 seconds, hitting 124 mph in 8.9 seconds. Claimed top speed is an equally brow-raising 224 mph. Looking at these numbers, we hope the driver has dry-sump bloodflow."
