My guess is you’ve never heard of a company called Zenvo. I’m happy to
admit I hadn’t either. But it is Denmark’s first supercar maker, and
above is the rather delicious result of its efforts in the five years
since launch. The ST1 apparently made its world debut at the Le Mans
24 Hour race last summer, but I was there and never heard a thing about it.
The car is powered by a 7.0-litre V8 engine and delivers more than 1,100bhp
to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. Yes, I know. That’s
quite a lot of horses isn’t it? Carbon fibre has been used extensively to keep
the weight down to under 1,400kg, and that coupled with the outrageous
power – more than a Bugatti Veyron – means a 0-60mph time of three seconds.
Top speed is said to be 233mph. Not surprisingly, this isn’t the price of your
average volume brand hot hatch. €800,000 (£700,000) is what it cost you to own
one at ST1, and you’ll have to be quick because production is restricted to just 15 cars. How the other half live, eh?
