It’s not every day a company comes out with a realistic production supercar that will be intended to compete with the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini. Seriously though, it’s time Toyota did something to breathe some life back into their boring everyday commuter car lineup. What I don’t know is if I would spend the money ($400,000 USD) to buy this over a Ferrari.

The supercar Gold Rush isn’t letting up. Since the Veyron took off everyone has been chasing it. Today, power is easy with 1400RWHP cars as common as Starbucks. No shock the SSC Aero beat the Bugatti’s top speed. But beating isn’t besting, it’s not just about speed. Many of these cars look cheap and thrown-together. They lack the “it” factor. Now we have the Zenvo ST1 and I must say it seems to have “it.”

The Zenvo ST1 is a supercar. From Denmark. Seriously.
Despite coming from a country that’s not known for its supercars, the ST1 certainly looks the part and has specs to match, with the 7-litre V8 using both a supercharger and a turbocharger to make more than 1,100 horsepower and 1,430 NM of torque.
Specs on paper are one thing, but actual real-world performance is often another, so Zenvo gave one of their prototypes to Bil Magasinet TV for a test drive, and judging by their reaction... Read Full Story
Supercar nuts rejoice there is a new super car on the block and its comes from some pretty horsepower hungry danish folks. Named the Zenvo ST1 this new supercar from the Danes has an awe-inspiring 1104 horsepower via 7.0 litre V8 which is both supercharged and turbocharged to achieve its four figure horsepower rating. Drivers get a traditional 6 speed manual with a hydraulic limited slip diff. With power hitting the rear wheels the Zenvo ST1 should hit note to sixty in just 3... Read Full Story
