Stig drives 1,100bhp Zenvo


The newest hypercar on the planet is the 1,100bhp Zenvo ST1. And it's Danish. TopGear takes the tame racing driving to meet his favourite new car





We are indeed having a conversation, and it's true, the car is remarkably civilised. Sure, this road's straight and smooth, but there are none of those clonks and groans that bedevil low-volume supercars, nothing to make you wonder if they blew all the money making a car look like a spaceship. It mumbles along in sixth, pulling about 1,300rpm at 70mph. Geared for intergalactic travel, then. Troels glances over. Briefly, I ponder my favourite William H. Macy movie. Fargo. Or maybe Boogie Nights.
Then he flattens the Zenvo's fast pedal and everything goes a bit strange. This isn't just a quick car, it's a bloody time machine. There's no point trying to affect Danish stoicism in here. The moment Troells first unzips the Zenvo I laugh out loud, like a child or possibly someone experiencing jet air travel for the first time. It's a bit embarrassing, to be honest.


The stats suggest 0-62mph in three seconds and a top speed limited - ha! - to 233mph. But it feels faster. From a standing start, it hooks up and beams itself up the road in a way that really does smack of the Starship Enterprise. At 4,500rpm, the Zenvo's engine and ancillaries are sucking and blowing with heavy-duty industrial intensity. I've no idea what speed we're doing but it feels like we could accelerate until the road runs out, turning the middle of nowhere into the end of days.
Bit dramatic, I know. But then so is this car. Has someone been on the hubbly-bubbly pipe or has Denmark, not previously noted for its car industry, just bludgeoned its way into the supercar elite?














At 800,000 euros it's obviously daft money, but since only 15 ST1s will ever be made, cost isn't relevant. What is relevant is how good the thing is. And it seems to me that with the arrival of Zenvo, we've got ourselves a real player here.
