Ian (Flash Review)If you like cars, appreciate speed and innovation, you'll enjoy this. This film covers all the heavy hitters in the exotic car industry. Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche, Pagani and it focuses on Koenigsegg. It isn't just a YouTube video of these cars doing hot laps and sliding their tails out. They talk with some CEOs, engineers and designers to hear what drives them to do what they do and what inspires their thinking on design and technical innovations. There are some nice behind the scenes factory shots. The cinematography is great and high dollar. It is fun to see how Koenigsegg approaches their goal of breaking the track record for a production car at the Nürburgring; AKA: The Green Hell as it is an historically dangerous and challenging track.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Apex: The Story of the Hypercar" is an American documentary from this year (2016) that deals with hypercars. If you are like me, you probably wonder already what is a hypercar. It is probably what you would guess, a really fast aerodynamic sports car. This film runs for slightly under 1.5 hours, 85 minutes approximately, and was directed by J.F. Musial and Josh Vietze. the writer is Mike Spinelli. All three of them have some filmmaking experience, but really not that much, at least according to their bodies of work. As a consequence, their work here is what you would expect pretty much I guess. The description in the title of my review is very accurate. People who love speedy cars will have a good time watching these cars rush over the course, they will enjoy listening to the engineers talk about the equipment or hear the riders talk about their experience on the track. But on a negative note, this film here is not one that gets people really interested in the world of speed racing. I can say that from experience here as I have certainly never been interested in cars that much and I am yet to see a film or documentary that gets me interested in the subject. But a lot of my criticisms here have to do with my subjective opinion that you could also call personal bias perhaps. Anyway, I think this is a very generic documentary and I cannot give it a thumbs-down. Unless you really love cars, I suggest you watch something else instead.

Shiva Shetty Little surprised to see 1 user comment. This deserves a wider audience and more TLC. Stumbled into this little gem on Netflix. I am not an ardent car nerd but I was hooked on this intimate insight into the world of hyper cars.The close ups on the cars are almost erotic in its intensity and the pacing is very well managed. Ideally you wan to get together with some fans of F1 and cars to really enjoy this. They pay special attention to Koenigsegg and give the viewer a bonus look into the racetracks of legend in Europe (esp Nurburgring)Totally worth the investment in time.

Jack Fuchs I watched it without any expectations and have to say, you get some real entertainment here.In a nutshell, it explores three car manufacturers building the next big thing. The ultimate street legal racing machine. It does not go too deep into the details, but its very interesting to see how the people behind such projects think and act.In a world overblown with content, such pieces of art are the things that stand out.A little downside: Some of the commentary from the interviewed guys are kind of mediocre, but it does not affect the overall experience. If you are into cars or motor sports in general, or just a fan of visually pleasuring cinematography that's built upon a process of design thinking, you won't regret a look.
