The Geneva Motor Show in March will witness the launch of the third hypercar of Danish manufacturer Zenvo. The world debut of the yet unnamed vehicle was previewed on Tuesday with the help of three very unrevealing photos.
There is literally no information available on the model, Zenvo themselves saying that the details “of the stunning new Zenvo model are being kept closely under wraps.”

“With everything now in place to launch this fantastic new model onto the market it is hard for us to wait patiently for the Geneva International Motor Show to share this car with the world,” said Zenvo’s CEO Angela Kashina.

“This is the fifth consecutive occasion that Zenvo has presented itself at the show, and we have always been impressed with the phenomenal response from visitors in the know.”

Zenvo's car portfolio to date is comprised of the twin supercharged TS1 GT and TSR models, both based on the ST1 hypercar. The TS1 GT is powered by a 5.8-liter V8 developing a massive 1,179 hp and paired with a TSRSport-7 Sports transmission.

The huge power and the 1102 bhp (822 kW) of torque shoot the car from naught to sixty in 3 seconds flat. The fact that the body and chassis are made from carbon fiber, and lightweight steel/aluminum monocoque help it achieve that result.

The TS1 GT is equipped with touch screen with GPS, sports steering wheel, and contoured electrically adjustable monocoque carbon sports seats.

The original version of the car, the ST1, was tested by Jeremy Clarkson back in 2014 and what a disaster of a test that was. Long story short, the hypercar broke down several times during the trial (both clutch and brakes stopped working at one point, caught fire and managed to set a lap time that was slower than a German SUV, namely the BMW X5.
