Danish hypercar maker Zenvo has revealed its new TSR-S model, just five of which are due to be built in one year.
The TSR-S uses an in-house 5.8-litre twin-supercharged V8 engine to generate Bugatti-bothering power outputs, and is claimed to be able to hit 100km/h from rest in just 2.8 seconds. In fact, it'll hit 200km/h from rest in a mere 6.8 seconds, the time it takes a Golf GTI to hit 100km/h.
Fragmented carbon wheels
The TSR-S has been on sale since 2018, but this one - which was due to have been displayed at the cancelled Geneva Motor Show - is a special commission and has some unique, bespoke, touches.
The most obvious of those are the wheels, which are 'fragmented' carbon-fibre items. These are painstakingly made from thousands of tiny shards of carbon-fibre, layered-up, glued, and baked into position. Each wheel takes two technicians one week to create, and the carbon can be colour-keyed to a customer's tastes. All that effort yields a roughly 15kg saving, per wheel, compared to a metal alloy rim.
To match the wheels, there's a bespoke 'watermark' of carbon fibre graphics - a geometric pattern carbon fibre visible within the blue tinted central stripe.
New sequential gearbox
The developments for the TSR-S aren't merely cosmetic, though. The gearbox is all-new (and apparently a big improvement on the rather hefty-feeling manual 'box previously offered). It's an eight-speed sequential 'box which includes a small electric motor for a little bit of hybrid assistance. There are two settings - Road and Race, with Road softening out the gear changes for a more refined feeling, while Race gives you the full-on bang-and-crash of a racing car shifts.
The hybrid module allows for an extra gear, up from seven speeds in the old Zenvo gearbox, because the electric motor provides the reverse gear, saving space and weight. There's also a small power boost, and Zenvo claims that the motor also gives it more options when it comes to traction and stability control.
Tilting rear wing
Zenvo says that this car is the company's flagship, and combines "the road-going capability of the TS1 GT with the track-derived performance of the TSR." It gets the same tilt and pitch active rear wing, which means that the vast rear spoiler alters its angle in response to steering inputs, increasing downforce on one side of the car or the other to sharpen up the cornering.
