Now you must be thinking, well this might be some so called Lotus Exige or Porsche Cayman rival, of which half a year later, the founder's wife would leave him when banks come knocking on doors to settle his bills of carbon fiber gear knobs and titanium wheel nuts.Nope. (Not applicable for the latter.)
In fact, far from it. This is not just a Supercar, its a Hypercar. To paint you a clearer picture, this ST1 from Zenvo, are of those that rank within an exclusive club, and they're nothing short of names like SSC Ultimate Aero, Bugatti Veyron, Koenigsegg CCX-Rs. Its not even what we call the 200mph (320km/h) clubs, as they are so yesteryear now. This exclusive club, minimum entry requirements will be the ability of churning out ONE THOUSAND HORSEPOWERS.
Powered by a mid mounted Supercharged and Turbocharged 7.0 liter V8, this ST1 generates a staggering 1,104 horsepower, powering a 1,376kg (Weight of a 1997 Audi A4), it has a power to weight ratio of 803hp per tonne! (Bugatti had a ratio of around 520hp/tonne). And speaking of bragging rights performance, its torque figures of 1403NM is nothing short of spelling out CRAZINESS. Yes, we don't usually report on boring facts and figures, but this is what the Zenvo ST1 is about, outright amazing, lunatic figures to even begin with. It's not some track monster either, where perhaps your butt is just separated from the tarmac by 1 cm of steel with another 2 cm of cotton, or the engine will blow your ear drum if you rev above 1000rpm. No. The Zenvo ST1, takes the same path as what we would call civilized Hypercars, with amenities such as full leather interiors, head up display, Sat Nav, Fitted Luggage sets as options, its clearly after the intention of slowing down Bugatti's slow climb to its aimed 300 units of total sales. No prices were mentioned yet, but believe me, if you're intending to shop for a Ferrari 599GTB, go get it, this, likewise the likes of the 1000hp clubs, are far more exclusive, faster, crazier, sexier, and far more expensive than the 599 GTB that you could 'only' afford.
