Zenvo ST-1

If you want to make a car go fast you can supercharge it. You can also turbocharge it. Or you can do both. Which is what Danish specialty car maker Zenvo Automotive has done. ST1 means, Supercharged Turbo type 1. This is Zenvo ST1.

Zenvo introduces the ST1 - an exclusively Danish supercar - a wonder of Nordic automotive engineering.
The specs: A 7.0 liter V8, turbocharged, supercharged, kitchen sink-charged, to 1104 hp and producing windmill-levels of torque at 4500 rpm with 1430 Nm. Transmission is a 6-speed manual gearbox with a hydraulic limited slip differential.

The results are lip-locking, head-nodding impressive for this rear-wheel drive Norseman. 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3 seconds flat. An electronically limited top speed of 375 km/h (233 mph). This car can drive across Denmark in about 18 minutes.

According to Jesper Jensen and Troels Vollertsen, the two-man team behind the ST1, some 50 Bugattis are produced each year. Though they are among the world's most expensive cars, exclusive customers will only buy them if they are unique. That explains why they have decided to keep the Zenvo series down to just 15 cars.
