New Zenvo TS1 GT Packs 1,163 Horses


Zenvo Automotive's new Geneva-bound special edition hypercar has been confirmed to pack 1,163 HP (1,180 PS) and a whooping 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) of torque.

The Danish automaker teased us with an official image of the TS1 GT about a month ago, showing us a little bit of its carbon fiber front winglet, which features an inscription announcing a 10-year anniversary.

The same image also revealed a blue body color as well as a set of matte gold Y-spoke wheels, with a black center cap and black lip.

That being said, Zenvo has just released these official images of their 1,163 HP hypercar, while also revealing that its 7-speed Sports transmission features helical-cut gears in a 'Dog Box' configuration, offering lightning-fast gear changes (40 milliseconds). The engine is a 5.8-liter twin-supercharged V8 unit, with an ultra-light alloy construction, flat plane crankshaft and air-to-air intercooler.

Rumor has it that the TS1 GT is able to max out at 402 km/h (250 mph), although that speed might be unrestricted seen as how the regular TS1 model unveiled during last year's Geneva show had an electronically-limited top speed of 375 km/h (233 mph) and a 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time of 2.8 seconds.

In terms of looks, the Zenvo TS1 GT was designed with perfect airflow and downforce management in mind, though its appearance was also inspired by the "muscular tension of a lioness stalking its prey".

A closer look reveals how the sharp lines of the wheel arches, roof, belt line and lower side air intakes are connected by muscular, more organic surfaces that lead to "dramatic reflections" according to the automaker.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as ...

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu...

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel...
