"On the upside, the fire evaporated the condensation in the lights."
Just another quote furthering the point of why Clarkson belongs back on Top Gear...
***** Yep. Can someone please explain what happened with Jeremy Clarkson? Because I'm still fuzzy on the details.
That's not good. Why didn't he just go to a convenience store or something?
HippieGeek They were filming on the Test Track at Dunsfold, an usually catering is provided for all of those on set. Clarkson was just hot-headed and entitled, leading him to punching a producer...
***** windows huh cool user name and profile pic you earned a sub for that lol
Felt bad for that car company, this one report must have pretty much destroyed its reputation.
Just watching this video, if I had the money, I would have jumped the gun and bought it immediately JUST for its interior looks.
You're right. This video probably foiled all of their sales.
Million peaple watched that 😑😑
Not exactly a car company, just 2 guys making cars in their garage. And that was just really unfortunate because that car is just badass.
It was made in a shed. (Said the man here in Denmark) it took him about 2-3 years to make it :/
NeoGroFabius
Hmmm let's count.... Oh! i said that once! why would i be mentally challenged for saying this?
Hmmm maybe because you suck.
10 years later and the ST1's design looks fresh, modern, and stunningly gorgeous.
The internal also looks stunningly hot!
And stunningly FASTTTTT
10 years later and people have started to use 'gorgeous' incorrectly
It looks like a Tupperware car
Uhm its not been ten years only 6
Statement from Zenvo:
At the first visit, the clutch of the car burned out after an hour of extreme drifting by Top Gear drivers. At the second visit,a faulty intercooler fan caught fire after more than one hour of intensive high speed testing and 50 liters of fuel used. The source of the fire, has been traced back to a defect in the fan delivered by an acknowledged automotive supplier. After this incident Zenvo Automotive are conducting thorough testing of all fans before mounting them in the cars.
The car unofficially reached 304 kmh (189 mph) which was the highest speed measured on the straight of the Top Gear test track in recent times. This information did not air on the show. Also not made public was that Top Gear clocked the acceleration time from 0-100 kmh (0-62 mph) at 2.69 seconds on damp tarmac.
Instead Top Gear brought a lap time with the Stig conducted on a day where driving was not recommended in many parts of Britain due to low temperature and extreme rain. The weather conditions and the amount of water on the track severely reduced traction on the cars 345/30 ZR20 rear tires resulting in a lap time that does not reflect the real potential of the car in dry conditions.
Zenvo Automotive is looking forward to making a more realistic lap time in dry weather conditions.
Yep, and their job to keep the car safe before anything. If there is a part that could heat and potentially burn, there should be a sensor or something to keep it away from burning.
This means this car never pushed to its limits and they never see what happens when its overly used.
Cheap city cars made that years and even before has temperature sensors in cluthes and brakes when heated too much warns you to slow down or rest. That cars warn you even a side turn signal bulb not working. This car has very big good elecronic screens and not capable of showing the cooling failure?
No one say anything, unless it's a rally or lemans car, to cut some power when heats and warns the driver when its overused.
@@JJ-hr6hr that could be ferrari's fault too. Everything could fail, but for the things potentially fail, there is things to prevent this kind of failures. But when the car fails two times in cold weather, what could happens in hot weather?
@@ErtOzk Most likely nothing. They have improved the thermal management in their cars.
@@JJ-hr6hr As i said, it just could be. Thay all human made and not %100 perfect.
If this car fails once, I probably said things happen sometimes. But fail 2 times in a row and totally burn 2.nd time is too much.
Also there is too much video about burning cars from their trunks becouse of exhausts heat goes up. Mostly lambos. This is less ridiculous than lambos burning becouse of wrong exhausts position but 2 times in a row is still much.
@@ErtOzk The 2nd fire was a defect in a fan delivered by another supplier. It was mainly bad luck.
I hope Zenvo don't give up they have some real promise in becoming a great supercar
are you an idiot?
+santhosh shiva yes
+KraZi Kreature ure right
Like all other supercars with very few exceptions!!! Yes, most definatly . . . =P
There are only 3 that fit that category, 1)The LFA as you mention, its has a wonderful exhaust note, only to be beaten by two 2)The Furai, sadly it cought fire, strangely on the TopGear track as well(they have a bad habit of burning cars) 3) The 787 . . .
I didn't like this car at first but I think I'm warming up to it.
That's just the car catching fire.
The car has already been improved now and got a new engine that is more well built and it has now 1100 hp
Ryan David Yeah I think it's hot.
Is that a pun you got there?
Hahaha! You're funny my dude
So glad that Zenvo has kept at it, with the TSR-S and their future turbo V12 hypercar. They're just really cool
Aurora has landed
that feeling when i for 21 years lived 1.5km from where zenvo is made, near a small town called Præstø.
that feeling when you could hear them test the car on the small twisting backroads near my house.
that feeling that seeing one of their cars every 2 weeks just driving around, chilling.
i'm one happy lad. The car looks AMAZING in real life, and it sounds absolutely fantastic.
U could say the car is firee🔥🔥
Hahah that username tho
Lucky you indeed,don't need a grill for a barbecue,just pop over to Zenvo when they test track their cars.
I've delivered materials to them several times.. iron, alu and stuff like that
@@callisto3605 did you know it was actually the fan that failed and caught on fire, funniest part is the fan was something they bought of a very known sport's car company, however because of a clause in the contract, are they not allowed to say whom... But I would like to know witch sport car brands that sells fan's that can catch fire 🤣😂

It's a shame really, because they did try. Most B movie low budget supercars have seats and steering wheels from MOMO and Sparco, buttons and switches from Ford or Audi, and dials from a Porsche. Everything that you see and touch on the Zenvo, all the way down to the in-car computer system, was made in house by Zenvo. This, I think, shows a level of commitment that the car's dynamics, and rearlights, sort of lets down a bit. But we mustn't judge to harshly, after all this was our first real attempt at a car. The second attempt won't be from Zenvo though, as their rep is tarnished now :(
+Kristian Brandt i wonder though.if thats their first attempt...and they arent a big company with limitless recources...why they decided to make a 1000+hp car.making a good one with that enormous amount of power is much more difficult than making a supercar with say 400-500hp
+MrAnas1987 Because what Clarkson said was true. Who's going to buy a supercar made by a company no one has ever heard of, from a country with zero car heritage, over a Ferrari? They needed the 1000 bhp, the zillion dollar pricetag and the Mjolnir badge to create a big enough "WOW" effect. It's the same thing Koenigsegg, the other Scandinavian hypercar maker, did. Not even sure all of the gills were necessary, I think most of them only serve to draw in the sort of oil billionaire who buys this type of car.
+Kristian Brandt Yeah this is the way to break in but the market is kinda getting crowded. The standards are very high and people demand a lot. It's expensive too so they can't sell it as a bargain. I wonder if making an exclusive "affordable" super car would've maybe been a better approach. I wish it worked out though. It's gotta be heart breaking to get the car that far, put it on the show and see it burn up. Pagani had a car burn up also I think in an episode but it's still respected for some reason. So hopefully they can make another attempt. I always root for the underdog though.
At least they didn't try Koenigsegg's fake advertising and ridiculous marketing tricks.
+Sam R True, and nor did they use SSC's approach. You know, their Tuatara car which they insist will do 455, but they haven't actually done it. Actually the Zenvo is quite a humble car. I know this is an odd thing to call a hypercar with both a supercharger AND a turbocharger making more than a 1000 horsepowers.... But they never came out and said it'd do 480, they made it very clear that this car will "only" do 375kph.
It’s nice to see a modern super car with a manual transmission and not a paddle shift
it doesen't actually have a manual the specially made it for clarksons taste.
This is from like 2010 lmao the car
@@dbabu51 so?
I will never comprehend such things. Why on earth would somebody want to drive a goddamn supercar with automatic transmission? There's not much difference between autopilot and AM unfortunately, removes all the fun.
Zenvo has a real Pagani like potential! Stay at it guys!
Hey, at least the fire got rid of the condensation in the lights
Didn't Clarkson say that?
+tjf4375 no
Yes, he did. After the feature.
Clarkson also said: Why not call it giraffe, and kills it!
... along with the lights. :D
Jeremy forgot to mention several things in this video. The Top Gear team clocked a 0-60 time @ 2.69 sec WET, and a 304 km/h on the straight of their test track which is among the very fastest ever in the history of Top Gear. The clutch broke down after an hour of hard drifting, and the fan broke down after 45 minutes (and 50 liters of fuel) of 0-300 km/h testing. Stig's lap time was made in a day where driving was not recommended in many parts of Britain due to low temperature and extreme rain. Considering this, I think the car is fantastic. The car is build in a shed... I am still proud of being a Dane.
44Fricke too bad it blew up, if they can’t even make a car withstand driving on such a big platform, how are customers supposed to be getting a quality product?
If it didn’t catch fire then it’s great. But it did
@@WyvernApalis Condensation in the lights is piss poor build quality as well. Makes you wonder what the rest of it is like.
@@Clem_Fandango11 well wasnt it a prototype ?
You forgot to metnion that the other cars didnt catch fire on their track. They also had to suffer the same torturement as the zenvo :)
Engineer 1 - Lets Turbocharge it.
Engineer 2 - Lets Supercharge it.
Zenvo - Why not both
Lancia - I believe we already came up with that...
@@Bzons 40 years ago
And catches fire,
1:57 wait.. did i just see jeremy shift a hyper car with 1080hp? zenvo has a manual???
😳
i think its more of a super car then hyper car but yeah he did lol
There's mostly manual drivers in denmark so that's why
@@bjrnstrand8439 this car was the only zenvo st1 made with a manual gearbox normally it would have come with a flappy padel gearbox but zenvo knew Jeremy preferred manual gearboxes
probably that's why the clutch went
I like how they found a way to get the condensation out of the tail lights.
Philip Lawson Its because the car catched on fire😂😂😂
4MK0 4MK0 I think he know
Still proud of it... First Danish car that doesn't run on electric...
I'm also proud of it :D But the engineer said he would (they would) try to make a better model. (I think)
You should try crawling before you run.
Whatever that means...
Sorry I'll put it in stupid language. First you should make a more simple car with less horse power. Once you perfect that you can build a slightly better car. And so on and so on. Get it? A super car is the the car to build if you haven't built anything else similair. I never even built a box so my first project wouldn't be to build a house. Understand yet, stupid?
Okay mr non car guy...Saw you profile, only comment on game related stuff.. So you think a 1000 HP RWD car with no computer to help it, and on a very wet track, It would be possible to put all the horsepower down? Idiot.. -Also do you remember then the 991GT3 caught on fire? Yup there you go....
Remember this car was built by some men in a small shack, and not in a factory, even thou I think your are trolling, or i hope..
Jeez, I just noticed that @ 1:43 it runs up to 303 km/h (or 188 m/h, for the imperials) on the tiny Top Gear test track ? In the wet ?
And that car was considered a failure ? Jeez, just how high is the bar for success ?
Not burning is a very low bar IMO
@@zlyverz The clutch was simply a result of doing donuts for an hour straight. The fan is something Zenvo fixed. It was constantly spinning, but when you've got a RWD car with over 1000 horsepower in the wet with no traction control, that's what happens
It isn't the first car on earth to catch a fire. Ferrari, lambos, even Toyotas do.
Not burning would be a good start.
@@user-ru1eq7tw4y
None of the modern supercars would be drivable without traction control .. they simply have too much power.
At least we've still got it on Forza :)
Honestly, i could care less about the speed of that machine, cuz it looks soooo damn badassss
Maaz Sharief ya plus the flames will make me look like ghost rider. 10/10
It's not like it's a slow car, you know..
+Maaz Sharief You could care less, could you? Or couldn't you care less?
+Maaz Sharief (Maazypaaz) Serously, it is one of the best looking supercars out there. (And personally, this would be my favorite if we got to see some with the kinks fixed!)
I love Top Gear and all, but man they trashed this things reputation hard. I'm wondering why lol, is it brutal honesty? Or was it because the manufacturers pissed them off.
+cybertree Put it this way. If the best example of your craftsmanship is as reliable as a Yugo, youre probably not doing things right.
I like the design. Hate the quality issues, especially for the kind of money required to purchase it.
it was new on the market in 2014 they improved it now
SJ Stewart True, but that's still not an excuse. I would say most people agree it's unacceptable for a car at that price to have that many issues, AND catch on fire. Especially considering Zenvo was mad at Top Gear after this
The Jackal it's not worth the price i agree
A price can not be unacceptable haha. I am just imagining you walking in to a store and say "i will not pay this price for this chicken breast" and then they say "Sorry about that, but thats what we take for it" and you be like "Thats not acceptable" *Runs of with the chicken breast*
FastLikeUNO
It's it's defense, I have seen more lambos catch fire on youtube than zenvos. Lol
that's bc there are only 15 of them..

Honestly, with a few fixes and improvements, that could easily be one of the best supercars out there!
Zenvo is a hypercar.
@@TorettoHuNGameplays
A hypercar is a supercar
@Noise Injection
Well it obviously matters to Eazy-E, doesn't it. Speak for your damn self
No it’s just not a good design it would need to be completely redone
@@beautifulbeaner Mainly the engine is the biggest issue. Twin charged (supercharged + turbocharged) engines are notoriously unreliable and would require serious innovation for applications outside of ridiculous drag cars. Mainly better cooling.
I love people bashing this car cause it caught fire so what this isn't the only car to do this
The Ferrari 458 caught fire when it was first released and the new Porsche GT3 had this problem as well and I'm sure that the Zenvo has been fixed so this won't happen
Yea the engineer said he'd try to fix it in a new model.
MetalSubYT: "try"!!!
Small companies like Zenvo are risky. What happens when the company goes out after a few years? Doesn't look like the warranty will cover for leaky tail light housings anymore...
But you buy a Lamborghini you know that if it catches fire they would build you a new one(that of course is if the fire was caused on their behalf)
bmwmsport11
If you're buying these cars, you don't give two shit about a warranty for a leaky tail light... And most would buy this because it's even more exotic and rare, the styling, to my eyes, is a lot nicer than your run of the mill Lambo or Ferrari.
TheDanishWaffle The "engineer" the single one that works at Zenvo. When Ferrari has their to 50 spending 16 hours a day and millions of dollars a week to fix small issues like paint quality.
I hope they make one with a carbon chassis, and F1 style push-rod suspension. It would be even better
why?
I hope they make one that doesn't catch fire, that would make it leagues better. just my opinion tho
with a fire like that it will turn to carbon before your very eyes
No, I don't know if iron can even burn but if it would it wouldn't turn into carbon.
Check out the TSR-S
Shmee150 sent me back to this blast from the past!
Same here, came after watching his vid
Same, same here too. 🙂 I would like to know if he has invested into Zenvo or if he got the car for free, maybe like a press car, even if it has his spec/design. There is no way he would've payed 1,7-2 million Euro/Dollar for such a car. :-/ For that money, he could get a Ferrari F50, his dream car. I feel bad for Zenvo, looks like a great company. But the car looks so odd and the design old, not well aged.
@@Alessandro-uj9mw Clearly have no idea about hyper car prices do you? F50 for 1.7 million dollars? 😂 Keep on dreaming buddy. Shmee bought the zenvo because it was the only car in that price bracket that he could buy new and go through the spec process. All other hyper cars are $2 million plus. But I think he have some kind of deal with zenvo.
*I checked the car out half way through watching an episode of How It's Made, featuring this car, it's astonishing the attention to detail and near science fiction technology that was employed to build it, I hope they were successful in the end.*
No !
I don't want a Ferrari or a Lamborghini or a Pagani or a Bugatti or a Porsche or an Audi R8 or a McLaren or a Aston Martin.
I would rather spend my money on something totally unproven, preferably from a company I've never heard of.
I just need to get that money first.
Me again What about a Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS?
Me again believe it or not, I read this the same time he said it (read it while watching) XDDD
On the other hand, nobody else is gonna have one at the car meet. And it looks incredible. A collector would buy one purely for the exclusivity.
But none of them come with a manual transmission.
Get ur ass whoops first
When the video began i was proud of Boeing danish, but then....
How is the airplane manufacturer related to this?

Only top gear can get away with either burning or flipping or totaling all the super cars that they have. Its unreal. Man I miss this show.
4:41 "and that, was the end of that..."
He says that with a little excitement
There are many cars that catch on fire, but this car is awesome it looks nice it has the power to compete against other super cars! Let's hope they fix the issues so we can see it back on the road ;)
yes by going up in flames, it has met the required flammable supercar criteria
alongside Porsche GT3 RS, and several Lambo's.
STAG162 And don't forget the Ferrari 458 Italia.
Marquis M.
well I was gonna mention that, but the 458 is one of my all-time fave cars, I didn't wanna dump on it. :(
STAG162 but how many times have u seen a lambo caught fire?
Don't worry. Thanks to its colour you won't even see the fire...
That was a slick, mid-conversation (accidental) drift from Clarkson at 1:53
this is heartbreaking ;( hope they fix the issues and come back strong, I still think it's awesome.
probably the worst thing that could happen to a car company = catching fire on top gear. i wonder if they are in production today. i liked the car but would never buy it. If Zenvo couldnt assure quality control for the review on top gear, then how on earth could a customer expect a better one?
Alpha Fort What can u expect from a car company that makes their first car. Not much but i guess it will be improved in the next model.
Clerex S a tiny, tiny company in Croatia made an electric hyper car. And it works quite well. This car is from freaking Denmark. It's neighbours made Volvo's and saabs, and it caught fire on one of the most popular car shows in the world. Yeah, this car blows.
Volvo and Saab took lot of time before it got popular and i never heard about a car from Croatia what is the car called?
Clerex S the Rimac is Croatian i believe. 0ne megawatt electric car. actually sold out. remarkable story too of the founder/ceo Mate Rimac.
You mean out of production. But that car could you compare to the Zenvo its not more popular than the Zenvo.
The visual effects and the camera work on this show is just stunning. They too are key elements in an auto show.
I love how this car looks. If it had the kind of black and white color scheme they gave the 2019 corvette that i saw, itd be perfect in my eyes
The current rendition of the Zenvo ST1 now makes a whopping 1,104HP and 1,054 LB-FT of torque.. So, for all those saying that this probably ruined the company, you are mistaken! They made adjustments to the car, increased power, and have made improvements on it's build quality.
+Almond
It can still catch fire, though. There's another video of a Zenvo, the ST1, specifically, catching fire during an event in Denmark. Apparently, this time, a fuel line ruptured, causing the fire.

"You know those Scandinavian crime dramas, lots of...-Hold on a sec while I'm holding a drifting 1000+HP hyper car in road casually-... quitely thoughtful people in jumpers looking out of the window"
I disagree with Jeremy on this one. If I was loaded I would most definitely buy a Zenvo ST1; because every other rich guy out there already has a Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Pagani. I would want something that no one else at the "Country Club"/"Cars & Coffee" has. Plus the performance numbers are really giving me wood.
And like wood, it easily burns.
so what? do you think that the other rich people are stupid? they are buying these supercars because they are properly set up, reliable, meticulously crafted, really fast and, most importantly, they don't catch fire when they hit the rev limiter.
And why would you then get a Zenvo when Koenigsegg is around.
Buy a Rimac then
as long as you lived close by to the factory then it would be okay buy a Zenvo to add to your collection of supercars (most owners have a few)
This is like the modern-day Lamborghini Miura. Amazing looking (to me), brilliant sounding, but awful to drive.
And catches fire (like the real miura did sometimes into the us)
Testing a 1,000+ hp car in the rain is just crazy. I
Zenvo Automotive was founded in 2004. The first prototype of what became the Zenvo ST1 was completed in December 2008 and production began in 2009. Only 15 Zenvo ST1 cars were built and sold. I thought there would have been more sales than just 15. This supercar looks fantastic, wish they sold more in America.
one of the best cars that id never wanna buy/own
People sometimes forget that almost all the big companies were originally start ups. It takes time before a start up grows into a matured player. Loved the looks of the car anyway!
Denmark has a brilliant car industry. I have owned and can approve of the Lego McLaren Senna, Ford Mustang, Porsche 911, and Ferrari F40.
I’d still buy one. It did a 2.6 0-60 on WET track way back in 2011. I’m all in
If I knew the faults were fixed (and I had the money), I would totally buy this over a lot of other supercars.

Naja um mal fair zu bleiben, der 458 Italia entzündet sich ja auch ganz gerne mal von selbst und selbst ein 918 Spyder, der wohl mit mehr Ingenieurskunst gebaut wurde als jedes andere Auto dieser Welt hat schon gemeint das die Klimaanlage etwas zu kalt ist und die Heizung mal eben auf Fegefeuer gestellt. Und selbst wenn der Wagen sich ab und zu mal selbst abbrennt sieht er dabei wenigstens richtig geil aus.

season 21 of TG was the greatest thing the trio have ever done.
Clarkson really has a way with words. To describe the supercharged and turbocharged engine he says "smearing a habanero chilli with wasabi, and then garnishing it with dynamite. The end result is a speedometer that can't keep up" (1:15). What're his news articles like?
Spectacular backfiring marketing ploy. Lesson: don't send your car to the most watched car show on earth until you are sure it's ready. Zenvo RIP.
i really like the look...
I scrolled up faster just to get your avatar off my screen.
"And that's like smearing a habanero chili with wasabi, and then garnishing it with dynamite."

Well atleast the fire will get rid of the moisture in the lights
Does it ever not rain in jolly olde Britain?!
About twice a year on the Queens birthdays (she has two)
g. Stephens: It's summer rain comes as standard issue.
At this latitude, if it doesn't rain much it's bordering on Arctic. We are straight across from the Baltic Sea, southern Russia, northern China, Sakhalin (a Russian island north of Japan) mid Canada, James Bay and Labrador. Most of these places are boreal forest or even tundra, (certainly above 55)- places generally known as f'ing freezing for at least 6 months of the year- and yet our climate is similar to the Pacific Northwest or southern BC- so I'll take the rain, thanks.
1:54 love to see that schooled by the automobile Jeremy Clarkson facial expression. its rare, but worth seeing.
Best ad for a car I've ever seen. I need one.
just because zenvo told clarkson was crap at driving after he drove it off the track, and when the zenvo got back to uk from denmark they told that there was a problem with the fan so he should go easy, but because they said you needed to be good at driving not to glide around on the track, he just gave it all it could take so the fan and ventilation system broke, and it went up in flames.
despite the ferocity of the car the condensation in the lights is just a total put off.
Holy Molly I was thinking it's just a photoshop but in the end the Car is ON FIRE 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
dear Top Gear. you should try to put theyre newer models to the test, theyve been improving alot on the design and how the car functions. Please give it a try.

Very, very good one! #savethea10
This ZENVO with dual clutch sequential 4wd will be the ultimate machine, with out flames to of course... 🤟💀🥀
Search for “Flanker F”. It’s a russian hyper car for drift which is made in cooperation with Zenvo. Looks very cool!
Note to self: Never buy a car made in Denmark. What good is 1000+ hp if your brakes don't work, the clutch melts and your engine catches fire. What a turd!
Just wanted to go and buy it. Thanks for that warning!
Michael Parker Yeah, I don't understand that either, if they didn't know TG is a show that is made to be entertaining.
you do know that zenvo has made a statement about how they weren't given time to repair the car, and that it never had happened before?
you shouldn't decide if the car is good or not because you saw an review from top gear, don't get me wrong i love top gear, but if you want to get the "fastest" time then its all about money, take for example the Pagani they made it drive on special cut slicks, that you can't even buy for the car...
Nik Brudar me too. very popular in Greece
Okay, I heard Jeremy say 6.8 liter V8 that is both supercharged AND turbocharged!! Did I hear correctly? The fire issue can be fixed.
It's called a twincharger
The Zenvo ST1 is like a Fisker Karma, both are pretty much unheard of, both are beatiful machines and both of them catch fire very easily.
This also happens for the big companies like Ferrari and Audi, but you never see it, because they don't allow it to be shown.. Feels bad to be a small company
i watch these old clips all day long over the shit they call topgear in 2019!!!!
The Zenvo ST1 isn't really a bad car! It has a 0-60 time of less than 2.7 seconds which is really good!!
I don't like how top gear mentions the condensation in the headlights and not that the car has crazy acceleration. And it was rainy when it went around the top gear power lap track.
If I spent >100 000 on a supercar I would be extremely pissed off if there was water in the headlights as it means the build quality is iffy. The crazy acceleration is a given with any supercar.
Whatever, fog inside the head lights is not close to as bad as Hitler.
0-60 is overrated
a < $100k Tesla can do that. the ST1 is a failure. They shouldn't have aimed so high without the technology to tame that 1000hp engine. and for god's sake. not even the new Korean cars have that issue on their lights. it's just proof that they didn't care much for the whole package. they cared more as to how they can put a thousand horsepower in a car.
The fact that this car burned down on the Top Gear track... reminds me something that Mazda do a few years back
Well, at least the fire got rid of the condensation in rear lights.
I'd still buy an Aston Martin, even if this Zenvo looks cool :)
Nothing beats an Aston in beauty. ;)
At least it won't catch fire...
Bram Collier And sound, atleast in my opinion
danyDesigns oh yeah that's beast too!

It looks like something out of HPI's new products list (which is a good thing), but who wants a supercar that's undrivable or bursts into flame?
I'd be interested in this car once Zenvo works out the bugs - if they're still around.

And no, they didn't do that because they wanted to. It was a desperation move, as Japan had lost air dominance in the pacific and didn't have the industrial base to rebuild their air force.

Kamikaze means "Divine Wind" or "Spirit Wind" and is a combination of the words "Kami", which means spirit or god, and "Kaze", which means wind.

Looks like you don't have the Japanese character sets installed. As for that intentional misspelling, I think you're just being ridiculous now. Not in a bad way, of course - I did get a little chuckle out of it.
At least the fire blends in with the orange color
Dude this cars sound is actually fire
The fact that it's a compound charged LS3 that's been bored out disappoints me. But it logistically makes sense.
It's reliable and a good building block. I wouldn't knock them for it.
Very true. But at the same time, doesn't it bore you to hear of ANOTHER Ls swap?
no more so than another amg power plant. A company could spend an awful lot of money and not develop anything near as good as the LS series. If your passion lies elsewhere in car design it makes good sense to source the engine elsewhere. Who made the block really isn't the end of an engines story anyway, so there can still be some theater added by the production team. Super and turbo is just fun to say.
it be better off with a coyote hear me out (massive boost so dohc has more valves so more air flow smaller so easier to cool higher rpm red line and responds much quicker than a push rod ls
The engines static airflow is less important in boosted engines, not more. When running above atmospheric pressure the air is going in with little regard for restriction, though restrictions could ultimately lead to additional back pressure this does not seem to be an issue in modern engines. I'm sure the coyote would work great but so does the LS, cost and availability may have tipped the scales. Or just simply the recognition and popularity of the LS, this is a new outfit afterall.
Feel bad for Zenvo, I mean, it's a pretty sick car an the TS-R-S is even better.

Definitely not a marketing commercial for zenvo
Happily, Zenvo now have a car with a rear spoiler that actually tilts depending on how you go around a corner!
"When customers buy a car from us they are investing in the company" (the CEO, paraphrased from Top Gear Magazine).
I am getting sick of the people that complain about the mistakes that this beautiful car has. Think about this. This is the first car ever made by this company, of course it will have some mistakes here and there. So just shut up and enjoy the beautiful car that it surely is.
And when that is said, I think that it is miserable that Top Gear gives gives people the impression that the car is bad. These guys should have a helping hand instead.
Jeg er selvfølgelig dansker :)
There's a difference between "a small mistake" and "full on catching fire" 😂😂
