Zenvo Will Reveal Its All New 250-MPH TS1 Supercar At Geneva Motor Show

Zenvo is a little automaker from a small country, but it is responsible for on of the most powerful supercars ever built. Last year, Zenvo returned to the Geneva Motor Show with an all-new model called the Zenvo TS1 GT.

The ST1 debuted in 2009 equipped with a supercharged and turbocharged 6.8-liter V8 that produces 1,100 hp and 1,050 lb-ft of torque. A wild design complemented its beast engine, and it has been built by hand by a selected team of Danish craftsmen.

Though the TS1 GT looked the same with its predecessor, it had been revamped for more downforce and an upgraded interior. The automaker also replaced the 6.8-liter V8 with a 5.9-liter unit and swapped a turbocharger for another supercharger.

Nigel Gordon-Stewart, Zanvo's commercial director, said, "It's a Phoenix car for us. We've built a new factory on the Danish island of Zealand, our prototypes have been in Lapland testing a revolutionary new traction control system, and we'll soon announce details of a new dealer network in Europe, the U.K. and the U.S., designed to meet the needs of customers who are already waiting for our cars."

The automaker claims that the car can make more than 1,150 hp, will hit 250mph, and will be priced around 1 million pounds or at least $1,250,000. The car will be built with a carbon fiber body, mid-engine layout, and a rear-wheel-drive.

The engine is mounted behind the seats and sends power to the rear wheels through a paddle-shift 7-speed sequential transmission. The transmission will feature a new instant shift system to deliver performance on par or to dual-clutch boxes.

Zenvo is now ready for a proper sales assault. It plans to announce a dealer network in the United States and Europe. The car will be revealed at the upcoming Geneva Auto Show, which starts March 7. Aside from the Zenvo TS1 GT, the automaker will also launch a track-focused version called the TSR, which was also showcased last year in Geneva.
