XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Apollo APOLLO N 2016-2017

The Apollo N is a low-volume, mid-engined GT built around a carbon tub and a naturally aspirated V10 – a chassis that punishes a suspension setup that can’t handle big aero loads and rapid weight transfer on lumpy tarmac stages. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover is built for exactly that brief: a closed-course rally car running on sealed surfaces where compliance matters as much as outright stiffness.

For a 2016-2017 Apollo N being prepped for tarmac rally use or aggressive trackday duty, this kit replaces the OEM damper-and-spring package with a fully adjustable platform that lets you separate ride height from corner balance and tune the car’s behaviour over kerbs and mid-corner bumps without losing the body control the chassis was designed around.

What this coilover does for your 2016-2017 Apollo Apollo N

Drop a Tarmac Rally kit onto the AP01 chassis and the first thing you notice is the front axle taking load progressively instead of collapsing into the bumpstops on hard braking into a stop-box. The 36-way damping adjustment lets you bias the car to your driving style – softer rebound on the front for a car that already wants to rotate, firmer compression at the rear to keep the V10’s mass settled under traction. Pillow-ball top mounts sharpen turn-in response and remove the rubber compliance that masks chassis feedback. Independent ride-height adjustment means you can corner-weight the car properly after fitting, which on a mid-engined platform with this kind of power-to-weight is the difference between a chassis you trust and one you fight.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally sits in XYZ Racing’s competition range and is engineered specifically for sealed-surface stages and circuits with uneven cambers, expansion joints and kerb usage. Construction uses 52mm monotube dampers with a separate gas chamber to keep oil and gas isolated under sustained heat – the failure mode you see on twin-tube units when a car runs hard for 40 minutes. Spring rates are selected for tarmac stage work rather than gravel, so the platform sits closer to circuit setup than to traditional rally compliance. Damping is 36-way adjustable on a single knob, with rebound and compression sharing a digressive valve shim stack tuned to the kit’s intended use. Bodies are anodised, and the kit ships with adjustable spring perches and pillow-ball top mounts on the strut corners where the AP01 geometry permits.

Fitment for the Apollo APOLLO N (2016-2017)

This kit is built to the AP01 chassis specification and covers the 2016 and 2017 model years. Because the Apollo N is a low-volume car with chassis-by-chassis variation, confirm your VIN and any factory-fitted aero or suspension options against the supplied spec sheet before ordering.
