Zenvo has just come out with its latest
version of the 1,177 HP twin-supercharged TSR-S hypercar, featuring
new carbon fiber innovations, as well as other bespoke touches. This is the
very first TSR-S model to receive full fragmented carbon fiber wheels, built
in-house by the Danish hypercar manufacturer. Also new are the individual weave
designs (tailored to the client’s specification) within the exposed carbon
fiber body sections.
This technique was also used on the
exposed carbon fiber side pods, featuring the Zenvo logo emblazoned within the
material in an “opposing herringbone pattern.” The wheels meanwhile weigh some
15 kg less than the aluminum variants – each wheel takes two
technicians roughly one week to build. The Danish brand can color-tint all
visible carbon fiber on the car, including the wheels, which means that
customers can specify individual sections in different carbon finishes.
Also unveiled today is Zenvo’s latest
drivetrain development, a hybrid variant of the 7-speed sequential gearbox with
helical-cut dog gears. This new transmission offers the driver two modes in
Road and Race, controlled via the aluminum switchgear on the steering wheel.
With the TSR-S in Road mode, gear changes
are electronically-assisted for a smoother transition, whereas Race mode allows
for faster and direct mechanical changes like you get in fully fledged race
cars. The new gearbox also comes with a hybrid module which offers a power
boost, further traction control and even an eighth forward gear (the electric
motor providing reverse drive).
Thanks to its 1,177 HP twin-supercharged flat-plane V8, the Zenvo TSR-S can accelerate from zero to
100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds, while 0-200 km/h takes 6.8
seconds. Pricing starts at € 1.45m, and production is capped at
five cars per year.
