If you’re interested in turbocharger and supercharger cars, then look no more!

The Spanish have a saying about the world cup:

“In the world cup, everybody plays, but Germany always wins”.

This theme of Jealousy from the “German Machine” extends to other countries in Europe as Germany is an uncontested leader in EU manufacturing. One such example is a small Danish design and engineering firm that just released their first super car!

Introducing the ZENVO ST1:

I’m not sure what the brand name Zenvo stands for? Does come from a state of Zen that you reach being one with your machine? Does it come from novas or newness and innovation ? Or does it come from ENVY!

I think it must be the latter for sure as why should Bughatti be the only European manufacturer delivering a road going supercar delivering over 1000bhp! Now Bughatti is an Italian brand but it is no secret that Bughatti is now managed by VAG (Volkswagen Audi Group) who are the visionaries of the Veyron and it’s 400kph jaw dropping performance.

The ZENVO ST1 leaves the supercar market behind and enters the market as a Hyper Car, the term until 2009 that was exclusively reserved for the quad turbocharged 0-60 in 2.8 seconds Bughatti Veyron. The ZENVO does rely on boost to make a mind boggling amount of power, but rather than a 16 cylinder engine and four turbochargers, the ZENVO relies on a unique combination of a good old V8. The 7.0 liter eight cylinder engine draws its support from two battalions, one is a supercharger to boost low end power performance (as if the torque of a 7.0 liter V8 was not enough), and a turbocharger to carry the car the car all the way through the rpm range and with a healthy dosage of boost up to its peak of 6900 RPM.

The result of all this mayhem is 1104 hp @ 6900 RPMs and a terra shattering 1054 ft.lbs of torque @ 4500 RPMs!

Beyond being a hyper-car the ZENVO is also a street worthy car coming in complete with navigation, xenon headlights, adjustable racing seats, adjustable ground clearance between 105 and 150mm to help navigate speed bumps, and a Heads Up Display with an integrated G-Meter.

The car although it has all the amenities you could want in a  road car, is also very aware of its race car nature and is fitted as standard with exotic parts like CARBON WHEELS, in addition to the typical racing gear such as the built in roll cage with 4pt safety harness, racing style light steel structure, & Carbon-fiber panels.
