zenvo

Zenvo Automotive is a Danish sports car manufacturer located in Præstø on the Danish island of Zealand. It was founded by Troels Vollertsen, and the name 'Zenvo' is derived from a combination of the last 3 and first 2 letters in his last name.

Zenvo Automotive was founded in 2004. The first prototype of what became the Zenvo ST1 was completed in December 2008 and production began in 2009. Only 15 Zenvo ST1 cars were built and sold.  The high performance sports car is manufactured almost entirely by the hands of a small team of workers, with the exception of a CNC router.

In April 2018, Bil Magasinet reported that despite Zenvo's feelings that their cars were too expensive for the home market, for the first time a Zenvo was sold to a Danish customer. It was a red Zenvo TSR-S, sold for DKK 10.5 million (US$1.65 million).

The Zenvo ST1 is a high performance sports car manufactured by Danish company Zenvo Automotive. It is the company's first model and is manufactured almost entirely by the hands of a small team of workers, with the exception of a CNC router.

The Zenvo ST1 is a high performance sports car. It's Twincharged 7.011 cc  LS7 V8 engine generates 1104 PS at 6,900 rpm and 1430 N⋅m  of torque at 4.500 rpm. According to The Motor Report, the car set a 0–100 km/h  time of 3.0 seconds, with 0–200 km/h  taking 8.9 seconds, and a top speed of 375 km/h.

The ST1 is made entirely by hand with the exception of a high performance, 5 axis CNC router. The ST-1 comes equipped with keyless entry, satellite navigation, telescopic steering wheel adjustment and electrically adjustable leather racing seats.

The car has a list price of €660,000. The price for registering the car in Denmark is around DKK 16 million (€2,143,952) as a result of the country's high registration taxes; however, Zenvo is aiming at the export market only. Production is limited to 15 cars.

Zenvo claim the ST-1 is entirely a result of Danish design. The car was designed by Christian Brandt and Jesper Hermann. The carbon fibre body was made in Germany and many components such as gauges, gas tank, ABS brakes, traction control and airbags come from American or German made cars.

2016-present

The Zenvo TS1 GT is a limited production sports car manufactured by Danish automobile manufacturer Zenvo Automotive. It was unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. Though the TS1 GT shares a similar chassis and body with its predecessor, the ST1, its new powertrain and upgraded interior earn it a new model designation along with the 'grand tourer' qualification. The production of the car is planned to be limited at 5 units per year, an increase from the limited 15-car total production run of its predecessor.

The Zenvo TS1 GT is powered by a 5.8-litre Twin-supercharged V8 engine developed in-house, rated at 1119 PS at 7,100 rpm and 1139 N⋅m  of torque at 5500 rpm. The engine has mid-rear mounted position. The manufacturer claims an electronically limited top speed of 375 km/h  for the TS1 GT. The car has a claimed 0–100 km/h  acceleration time of 3.0 seconds. These performance figures are very similar to those of its predecessor.

The interior of the Zenvo TS1 GT features a dashboard and central console finished in carbon-fiber and Alcantara, along with carbon-fiber bucket seats for the driver and passenger. The infotainment system includes a dashboard display, central display, and an Alpine audio system with Bluetooth connectivity.

The Zenvo TSR is a track-only version of the TS1 GT. Launched alongside the TS1 GT at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the TSR shares most of its mechanical components with the road-legal car, including the same engine and body.

The main changes in the TSR variant are a 250 kg of weight reduction reducing the total weight to 1,330 kg, revised gearing and power delivery for track use, and a fixed carbon-fibre wing on the rear of the car. A larger carbon-fibre front splitter and rear diffuser have also been fitted to improve airflow at higher speeds. The TSR's interior includes a full roll cage and 6 point harnesses, with the infotainment system of the TS1 GT having been removed to save weight. As a result of the gearing and aerodynamic changes, the top speed of the TSR is reduced to 325 km/h.

The Zenvo TSR-S is a road-legal version of the track-focused Zenvo TSR. The TSR-S features numerous upgrades and design changes compared to the previous TS1 models and sits in-between the road-going, grand touring TS1 GT and the race-focused, track only TSR.  The carbon-fiber wing on the rear of the car is able to rotate with two degrees of freedom, allowing for air braking and corner stabilization. The interior of the car is driver focused as the TSR as standard, however many features of the TS1 GT can be optioned into the car like a sound system and climate control. Weight savings on the TSR-S sum to 85 kg over the TS1 GT, bringing the total weight of the car down to 1,495 kg.

The powertrain of the TSR-S has also been updated, and the 5.8-liter twin-supercharged V8 now rated at 1194 PS  at 8,500 rpm. Acceleration from 0–100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, and from 0–200 km/h in 6.8 seconds. The TSR-S maintains the 325 km/h top speed of the TSR.
