The '''Apollo''' was a German [[Car|automobile]] manufactured by [[Ruppe & Son]] of [[Apolda]] in [[Thuringia]] from 1910 to 1927; the company had previously offered a car called the Piccolo. The first Apollo was called the "Mobbel", and featured an [[air-cooled]] 624&nbsp;cc single-cylinder [[IOE engine]]. The company also offered air-cooled 1608&nbsp;cc [[Straight engine|in-line]] fours and a 1575&nbsp;cc [[V4 engine|V-4]]. Four separate [[cylinder (engine)|cylinder]]s inline powered the model "E" (1770&nbsp;cc). The model "B", designed by racing driver {{interlanguage link|Karl Slevogt|de}}, had an [[Overhead valve engine|OHV]] 960&nbsp;cc four-cylinder engine. Another of his creations had an OHV 2040&nbsp;cc engine. Other Apollos had [[Flathead engine|sidevalve]] four-cylinder engines of up to 3440&nbsp;cc; some post-1920 models featured [[wishbone suspension]]. The last cars produced by the company had OHV 1200&nbsp;cc four-cylinder engines; some had sidevalve 1551&nbsp;cc [[Steudel]] four-cylinder power units instead. The designer of [[two-stroke engine]]s, {{interlanguage link|Hugo Ruppe|de}}, was the factory founder's son; in 1920 Apollo took over his air-cooled [[Markranstädter Automobilfabrik|MAF]] cars. During the mid-1920s, Slevogt raced cars of this marque with streamlined [[Paul Jaray|Jaray]] bodies.
