Zenvo Automotive, a Danish company, has built a new supercar, that at least in official performance figures, is a serious competitor for the Veyron. Called the Zenvo ST1, the new, 100 per cent Danish supercar, is powered by a 7.o liter V8 engine that outputs 1104 hp at 6900 rpm and an unbelievable 1430 Nm of torque at 4500 rpm. The Zenvo ST1 has an electronically limited top speed of 375 km/h and is able to get from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.0 seconds. It’s power to weight ratio is 802 hp / tonne. The company did not disclose the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions level of the Zenvo ST1, but with this kind of performance, who cares?
Zenvo Automotive was founded with one goal in mind. To produce a unique hand built supercar. The developing of the prototype started in 2004. The prototype is completed and the car is in the last testing phase. In 2009 Zenvo Automotive will start the series production of the car, Zenvo ST1. It will be a very limited edition and only 15 cars will be built and sold to special approved customers.
The idea behind the car was to hand build a high performance super car which will meet today´s standards but still keep the original and unique feeling of driving a supercar. The car will have excessive power due to both supercharger and turbo, but will still be drivable for everyday use.
