Models
The company had also previously made a vehicle called the Piccolo.
Four separate cylinders inline powered the model "E" (1770 cc). The model "B", designed by racing driver Karl Slevogt, had an OHV 960 cc four-cylinder engine. Another of his creations had a 2040 cc OHV engine. Other Apollos had sidevalve four-cylinder engines of up to 3440 cc; some post-1920 models featured wishbone suspension. The last cars produced by the company had OHV 1200 cc four-cylinder engines; some had sidevalve 1551 cc Steudel four-cylinder power units instead. The designer of two-stroke engines, Hugo Ruppe, was the factory founder's son; in 1920 Apollo took over his air-cooled MAF cars. During the mid-1920s, Slevogt raced cars of this marque with streamlined Jaray bodies.
