Think that McLaren F1 GTR converted to road-legal status by Lanzante is the closest you can get to a racing car for the road? Well, Zenvo’s brand new hypercar that made its debut in Geneva is, the company says, the street legal version of its TSR track car, slotting between it and the TS1 GT. The TSR-S, in which the “S” stands for street, is powered by an in-house developed racing V8 with a 5.8-liter capacity and twin superchargers that put out 1177 bhp at a dizzying 8,500 rpm and more than 1100 Nm (810.7 lb-ft) of torque. With a dry weight of 1,495 kg (3,295 pounds), performance is, unsurprisingly, mind-blowing: the TSR-S accelerates from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 2.8 seconds, 0-200 km (0-124 mph) in 6.8 seconds, and has an electronically limited max speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).

Whatever the case may be, it will likely have in excess of 1,000 horsepower available on tap, thanks to its supercharged powertrain, as confirmed in the latest announcement. By comparison, the 5.8-liter V8 engine powering the TS1 GT is good for 1,118PS (1,102hp) and 1,139Nm (840lb-ft) of torque. The Zenvo TS1 GT can sprint from 0 to 100km/h (0-62mph) in 2.8 seconds, and reach an electronically-capped top speed of 375km/h (233mph). In addition to revealing thei...
