How fast does a gumpert Apollo go?
This depends on which edition you choose. There is a 650 hp introductory edition, the 750 hp edition and the beastly 850 hp race (but still street legal) edition. The introductory edition I believe goes around 220 mph. The medium edition goes 228 mph. (This might be a tad inaccurate.) The race edition's top speed is 238 mph. The handling and grip on the road is insanely awesome and they fly from 0-60 mph in 3 seconds flat. I highly recommend these excellent pieces of machinery over that of the ridiculously overpriced Bugatti Veyrons. Apollos cost anywhere from 350K to 550K. (average price range.) These cars can smoke a Veyron on most tracks but never on straightaways. But who cares... tracks are where the real racing takes place... not straightaways. Just think about this... Veyrons cost from 1.2 to 3 million dollars (US). The new supersport edition will probably cost 4-5 million (logical estimation) You make the decision... but its your pocketbook... not mine. What makes the Apollo superior over the veyron is handling and grip because the acceleration is almost equal and (difference of 0.5 seconds) the top speeds are rather close (concerns the race edition for top speed.) Man are Germans good at making cars! (Gumpert is a German company if you are not aware.)

Are Achilles and Apollo similar?
Similarities between Heroes of ancient mythology can be found between nearly any two fabled characters. However, your asking for a comparison between a god and a man. Apollo was the god of the sun, music, healing, and more. He was the defender of those weaker then himself, and could be seen as just and honorable. He could bring ill-fate upon those he wishes, along with things such as the plague. Of course, he was also the god of healing and light, and therefore was most associated with good things.
Achilles, however, was depicted in Homers Iliad as the hero of the Trojan war. He was the most handsome man in the battle, as well as the greatest of warriors.
These two beings are not one in the same, if that is what your asking. They were both defenders, they were both seen as honorable. There were more similarities, im sure, but as far as being the same person, No.
The daughter's name is Niobe. She boasts to Leto that she is more blessed because she has more children than her. In some versions, Niobe pokes fun that Artemis dresses like a man. Outraged Leto sends her children, Artemis and Apollo, to attack Niobe's children. Artemis kills Niobe's daughters and Apollo kills Niobe's sons. In most accounts, all of the children die except for one or two. Niobe, sadden, travels to the top of a mountain and cries until she turns into a stone with her tears flowing as rivers.
Athena and Apollo are Greek gods. Athena is the goddess of wisdom, battle strategy, industry, and the arts. Apollo is the god of the sun, music, medicine, and poetry.
