The
new Zenvo TS1 conforms
to the traditions and principles of the Zenvo ST1
– the legendary Danish
hypercar that took the automotive world by surprise in 2009.
The evolutionary model Zenvo TS1 has retained its futuristic, aggressive Scandinavian
design, top speed of 375 km/h, and day to
day drivability. The refinements over the previous
version have been driven by the desire to fulfil
the wishes of the clients and their desired driving
experience.
The Zenvo TS1 is powered by a new in-house
developed 5.9L lightweight fast revving Twin-Supercharged V8 flat-plane engine, that provides
high performance and reliability on the road.
According to Zenvo CEO Troels Vollertsen, the
engine delivers instant throttle response, a wide
torque curve and an incredible power output.
The inlet manifolds are manufactured from carbon fibre resulting in significant weight saving
on the engine unit and a lower centre of gravity
comparing to the ST1.
Top speed is electronically limited to 375
km/h. The new hypercar is available with two
types of gearbox: a 7-speed synchronized
paddle shift gearbox with auto mode, and a
7-speed race inspired paddle shift gearbox with
dog-engagement.
The exterior design has remained true to the
Company core values. Zenvo chief designer
Christian Brandt explains: “Every now and then
with design you strike something that has timeless appeal. We believe the Zenvo has that appeal; that is why we have only introduced subtle
changes to the design and made it a bit sharper
and more aggressive in keeping with the sporty
credentials of the new engine. In order to optimize downforce the front splitter, rear wing and
diuser have been redesigned. We have added
a vertical wing in the intercooler inlet behind the
doors in order to improve intercooler flow and
efficiency. The rear bumper and exhaust system
have also been modified”.
In order to meet the customer requirements of
a 2016 hypercar Zenvo decided to create a
completely new interior for the TS1. In decades
supercar manufactures have developed driver
oriented sport car interiors. For the TS1 the Danish brand have taken this concept to a new
level through highlighting the driver’s side with
a contrasting colour. The interior of the hypercar
has dramatically changed, from the seats to
the dashboard and centre console. The new
interior has unlimited customization options of
leather, Alcantara, carbon fibre and aluminium
finish etc. Zenvo offers to new clients a direct
dialog with the design team in the process of designing every unique interior and in this way provide the option for clients to become co-creators
of their car. Like the previous model, the Zenvo
TS1 will be limited to just 15 units.
Furthermore, a Track-day concept of the TS1
named TSR has been unveiled in Geneva. The
TSR have been developed specifically for track
day use and is featuring heavy aerodynamic
changes improving downforce as well as lower
ground clearance and stiffer racing suspension.
The car is a weight optimized and features a
true minimalist racing interior with a roll cage,
racing seats and 6 point seat belts.
