Apollo IE WAKES UP California! Driving the CARBON DRAGON

The Apollo IE is as absolutely crazy as it can get! I'm with HyperNFT and @KARNAGE-TV to make the hills of Southern California alive with the sound of V12 music. Join me for an experience at the wheel of the Carbon Dragon, one of the wildest beasts in the world!
There are only 10 customer Apollo IE's in the world, and this particular car is finished in a bare carbon exterior and hence garners the nickname, Carbon Dragon. Belonging to HyperNFT, it is part of an epic car collection, that currently resides with Team Karnage at their drift team HQ hence for today, Dean takes the wheel of the carbon McLaren Senna to drive together.
Boasting a 6.3l V12 and 800 horsepower, the IE is also equipped with a Hewland 6 speed sequential gearbox, making it feel as close to a race car as you could get for something that you drive on the road. It's one of the loudest and most raw experiences I've ever had, and equally quite a challenge to get right and drive properly.
It's a huge thanks to Hyper, Dean, Mark and the team for this experience, as you can tell I was quite taken with the intoxication of that V12 sound!

Schmee congratulations on making your dreams come true, to me personally the Apollo ie is the ultimate hypercar. You’ve also driven all kinds of koenigsegg Bugattis and paganis. Again, congrats on all your hard work and thank you for your vast knowledge on all these cars you show

[@josha8715]

you’re such a good driver, mad respect, love these videos

[@coltonsams9498]

What an insane car. I love how literally everything about it is dramatic. It is so stunning to look at. Getting to see it in this cohesive carbon look vs multi-patterned/colored looks I've seen online, which aren't particularly my taste, is a game changer. While it's part of the charm, it's a pitty they are so rare. I'd adore getting to see one.

[@shakpro4296]

Amazing! Thank you very much for making us feel something close to something that most human beings will never enjoy in our lives.

Pity you can't enjoy the sound of engine in the cabin to the fullest cause of all that gearbox noise but I've been fortunate enough to see it on the move this past September during SOC 2022 in Croatia, and it was my favorite car of the entire event (your Zenvo 2nd 😁), and the sound is just unbelievable, pops and bangs are so loud it makes you jump 😂
