Zenvo, the Danish hypercar manufacturer, has today revealed its latest TSR-S alongside further developments. This street-legal variant of the TSR track car has received numerous customised touches and is the first car to receive full fragmented carbonfibre wheels designed.
Following Danish design ideals of innovation and creativity, the geometric pattern carbonfibre visible within the blue tinted central stripe is a further evolution of Zenvo’s carbonfibre technology and personalisation options, such as the bespoke ‘watermark’ carbonfibre graphics featured on previous TSR-S models. This technique has also been used on the exposed carbonfibre side pods, with the Zenvo logo emblazoned within the material in an opposing herringbone pattern.
As for the new fragmented carbonfibre wheels, each minute fragment is hand-cut and expertly layered to create the special finish and weigh some 15 kgs less than the aluminium variants. These components are created in-house using a combination of cutting-edge technology and human craftsmanship with countless personalisation options. Each wheel takes two technicians roughly one week to create. All visible carbonfibre on the car can be colour-tinted, including the wheels, and clients can specify individual sections in differing finishes.
Also unveiled today is the latest drivetrain development from Zenvo, a hybrid variant of the 7-speed sequential gearbox with helical-cut dog gears that has become a trademark of the brand. This gearbox offers the driver two changeable modes, Road and Race, controlled by tactile aluminium switchgear on the steering wheel. In its Road setting, the changes are electronically assisted to remove the usual harshness of a traditional ‘dog-box’ while Race mode allows for exceptionally fast and direct mechanical changes usually only offered in fully fledged race cars.
The latest development of this innovative gearbox is the addition of a hybrid module which yields a power boost, further traction control and even the addition of an eighth forward gear with the electric motor providing reverse drive.
The 4.8-metre long TSR-S is Zenvo’s flagship model, combining the road-going capability of the TS1 GT with the track-derived performance of the TSR and is powered by a 1,177 bhp twin-supercharged flat-plane V8. 0 – 100 km/h is achieved in 2.8 seconds, with a claimed top speed of 325 km/h (electronically limited) aided by a super lightweight carbonfibre construction and exceptional aerodynamics including Zenvo’s patented Centripedal rear wing which reacts to steering inputs to create high levels of downforce while cornering.
The TSR-S is priced from at 1.45 million euros (almost 7 million ringgit) and only 5 cars are planned for each year.
