August 21, 2023 – A New Dawn for Zenvo: Unveiling the Aurora Supercar In a remarkable turn of events, Danish boutique supercar manufacturer Zenvo has taken the automotive world by storm with the introduction of their latest masterpiece – the Aurora. This unveiling marks a significant rebirth for the brand, which boasts a 16-year history of producing wild and untamed vehicles like the ST1 and TSR. Unlike its predecessors, the Aurora represents a departure into uncharted territory, combining refined elegance with ferocious power.
Under the hood of the Aurora roars a beastly 6.6-liter V12 engine, aptly named the Mjølner, a nod to the mythical hammer of the gods. This powerhouse is equipped with four turbochargers that harmoniously work together, generating a staggering 1250 horsepower at 8000 RPM and pushing to its redline at 9800 RPM. In a nod towards upcoming Euro VII emission standards, Zenvo has ingeniously incorporated three additional 200-horsepower electric motors into the mix. One is seamlessly integrated into the powertrain, while the other two find their homes within the front wheels. This electrifying ensemble culminates in a jaw-dropping total output of 1850 horsepower. With such a mighty force at its command, the Aurora blitzes from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in a mere 2.3 seconds, dethroning even the illustrious Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. Top speed is a heart-pounding 280 miles per hour (about 450 kilometers per hour), all while the Aurora can glide silently in pure electric mode for around 21 miles (approximately 34 kilometers).
Inside the cabin, the Aurora is engineered to immerse the driver in a cocoon of driving pleasure. Eschewing the trend of massive infotainment displays, the interior embraces minimalism, offering only a trio of digital instrument screens. One of these serves as the conduit for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring functionality, echoing the simplistic sophistication reminiscent of the Audi TT.
Zenvo is set to provide the Aurora in two distinct flavors: “Agil” and “Tur.” The former caters to the track-focused enthusiasts, shedding the two front-wheel electric motors to become a rear-wheel-drive powerhouse. Weighing in at a svelte 1300 kilograms, it gains an array of aerodynamic enhancements to bolster its grip on the tarmac. The latter variant boasts all-wheel drive, with torque vectoring on the front axle to ensure enhanced road stability. However, the “Tur” model foregoes the aerodynamic add-ons and large rear spoiler that define the “Agil” iteration.
For those fortunate enough to experience this automotive marvel, the Aurora comes with a starting price of 3.6 million euros (approximately 28.62 million Chinese yuan). Zenvo’s production roadmap envisions crafting 100 units of the Aurora, evenly split between the two configurations – 50 units each. The production is slated to commence in 2025, with eager customers set to receive their prized vehicles a year later.
The Aurora represents a thrilling leap forward for Zenvo, a manifestation of the brand’s prowess in engineering, performance, and design. This venture into a new chapter demonstrates the evolution of a company that dares to redefine the boundaries of what is possible in the world of supercars.
