ZENVO TSR-S CRAZY SPOILER

  

One of the many cars that were supposed to debut at the canceled 2020 Geneva Motor Show was an updated variant of the Zenvo TSR-S. A road-going version of the track-only TSR, the Danish hypercar was originally unveiled a couple of years ago and it’s already getting a few tweaks for 2020. Making its online debut today, the latest version of the twin-supercharged machine (yes, it has two superchargers) takes advantage of the company’s newest developments in carbon fiber.

The previous alloy wheels of the TSR-S have been removed to make room for a carbon fiber set that has shaved off approximately 15 kilograms (33 pounds) per set. Making just one wheel takes a lot of work as Zenvo says two technicians need about a week, and customers can optionally have the shiny new shoes with a colored tint or keep the exposed look.

  

As a refresher, the TSR-S has a flat-plane 5.8-liter V8 twin-supercharged engine producing 1,177 horsepower sent to the wheels through a sequential transmission with a dog-leg pattern. If you’re not a fan of changing gears like race car drivers do, there’s also a Road mode that allows the driver to go through gears using the aluminum switchgear mounted on the steering wheel. New for 2020 is what Zenvo refers to as a “hybrid module” for the gearbox, “which yields a power boost, further traction control and even the addition of an eighth forward gear with the electric motor providing reverse drive.”

When it comes to performance, the Zenvo TSR-S lives up to its hypercar status as it only needs only 2.8 seconds to hit 62 mph (100 km/h) and can complete the 0-124 mph (0-200 km/h) sprint in 6.8 seconds before topping out at an electronically governed 202 mph (325 km/h).
