Venom for sure, but Apollo for its color.

You might not like the way the Apollo looks, but your hyper car collection wouldn't be complete without it.

I don't have an exotic/hyper car collection... not into those as far as diecasts.

The Apollo is so ugly it's beautiful

I have both too and its hard to pick a favorite

The blue gumpert is a very good model and the venom is just badass deluxe! Got em both and easily among my 2015 favs

Apollo. Venom looks too much like a super-sooped up Elise

The Apollo is wicked and wild!

Well it is a sooped up elise

I just cannot imagine the thrust on that thing, meanwhile the grip and downforce on the Gumpert must make for quite a thrill at the track. I am really glad these two were done by Autoart. Good to have models of supercars that are not Lambos or Porsche. Not sure anybody else would tackle these in diecast.

Didn't realize venom was that big. Thought it was just a lotus Elise body.

The on ly ELise componets are the windshield, doors and some of the front end. Everything from the drivers seat back is totally new. Everyone blows out of proportion how much it is a Lotus! It is Pretty clever for sure, and looks much more imposing than any Lotus.

Both are nice half breeds, but I would choose the steroid-Lotus any day!

I have an all black Venom as well and I love it beside my Exige.

I have the blue Apollo too and it's definitely one of my favorite models.

I've always loved the 1:1. I get why people would find it ugly, but especially when it was first designed - 2004ish - it was totally unique and if anything, a car way ahead of its time. It's worth mentioning that all of these modern supercars (P1, 918, etc) that are basically all aerodynamics are only doing that 10 years after the Apollo.

Could you provide a few more shots of the Venom if you have them available? I've been meaning to pick this one up and your post reignited my interest

I literally just spent an hour trying to choose between these 2 models on eBay - the Apollo in that gorgeous blue and the Venom in grey.

Ended up ordering the Venom as in the Uk these are generally £200 now - but may just see if I can squeeze the Apollo onto the credit card!

 

[fyrewhirl]

IMO the Venom flows much better than the Apollo's design. And From what I've seen the engine bay is nice on the Venom too.
That being said, Hennessey (and I won't start an argument) is a sh*t company managed by a sh*t owner.

Just caught this...and despite loving the Lotus inspired Venom, it's the fugly Apollo clinches it for me...

...Thanks for the great photo comparison 118!

 

[blackvitzrs]

Apollo for me. I have the black and it is an incredible model. Looking for the blue or the orange for a decent price now.

 

[wackygt]

Ended up picking up the Apollo in blue as well as the Venom and they arrived within a day of each other.

Both have their merits - I thought I would prefer the Venom but now I have them both in the metal, I would say the Apollo is the better model
