Zenvo or Zenvo Automotive is a Danish sports car company located in Presto on the Danish island of Zealand. Zenvo Automotive was founded in 2004. The prototype was completed in December 2008 and after the final phase of testing, production began in 2009. The designation of the car is Zenvo ST1. Only 15 cars are to be built and will be sold to approved customers.
The Zenvo ST1 is now being sold in the United States with production being limited to only 3 cars per year. Distribution is being handled by a California-based company by the name of Red Sea Distribution. Cost of the U.S. based model is estimated at 1.7 million USD.
The Zenvo is a high performance sports car. While power is available through its supercharger and turbo, it will still be driveable for everyday use. Its 7-litre V8 engine will be set to generate 1,250 hp (932 kW) in the USA and achieve 1,104 hp (823 kW) elsewhere at 6,900 rpm and 1,430 N•m (1,050 lb•ft) of torque at 4,500 rpm. Indeed, according to The Motor Report, recent tests returned a 0–100 km/h time of 3.0 seconds, while 0–200 km/h took only 8.9 seconds, and a top speed of 375 km/h (233 mph).
Despite its power and large alloy wheels, the car is small, at just 15.3 ft (4.7 m) long, 6.7 ft (2.0 m) wide, and 3.9 ft (1.2 m) tall. It weighs just over 3,020 lb (1,370 kg) thanks to carbon fiber body panels.
Zenvo offers keyless entry, satellite navigation, power telescoping steering wheel, and leather electrically adjustable racing seats.
The Zenvo is entirely a result of Danish design. The carbon fibre body is made in Germany and many components such as gauges, petrol tank, ABS brakes, traction control, and airbags come from US or German cars.
