2023 Zenvo TSR-S

August 29, 2022 Francis Mitterrand

The Danish company Zenvo Automotive has announced the arrival of its new extremely powerful hypercar Zenvo TSR-S, which will be powered by a V12 engine. According to the company’s statements, the car should arrive on the market next year.

The company has released photos of the car, although it is still under development, so changes are possible. Speaking to the public, company CEO Jens Sverdrup said that the TSR-S will feature a new modular carbon chassis, a new gearbox, a modular V12 engine and an electric drivetrain, all of which will be produced by Zenvo.

The car is made for the track, but it is also road legal. It will be equipped with carbon fiber innovative aerodynamic solutions such as the patented Centripedal rear wing, which will increase downforce to withstand the power of the V12 engine. It will be powered by a 5.8l twin-supercharged engine with 1,200 hp (882 kW) and an electric motor with a total output of 1,800 hp (1,324 kW). Zenvo has said it is considering a hybrid GT with an electric motor mounted on the front axle (AWD).

“I’m proud to lead the global [Zenvo] commercial team, of who will be present, located at a private house within The Quail Lodge resort, and attending events during the Car Week celebration, including Exotics on Broadway – one of my favorite events – of which Zenvo is headlining. We will be showcasing two TSR-S’, uniting the USA- and Canada-based teams for the first time, who will be working alongside our commercial and sales leads inside the house and at major events throughout the week. We are looking forward to showing a sneak peek of what the future holds for Zenvo during digital previews,” said Jens Sverdrup.

August 26, 2022 Francis Mitterrand

In 2007, Lamborghini presented the first of the lighter versions of the Gallardo that appeared on the market, the Gallardo Superleggera. The intention of the Italian manufacturer was to pay tribute to its first model, the 350 GT. Only 618 cars were produced, of which 172 with American specifications and one of them was put up for sale.

This 2008 model is painted in Giallo Midas and is in good condition with a few surface scratches. It only has 22,068 miles on the odometer. It is equipped with carbon parts such as rear diffuser, rear decklid, mirror housings, and side skirts, while a carbon rear spoiler is optional. It’s 100kg lighter than the standard Gallardo thanks to a thinner windshield and polycarbonate instead of the standard glass panels.

Inside, the seats are covered in black Alcantara with yellow details and stitching. Alcantara covers the dashboard and ceiling, while the door panels are made of carbon fiber. There is a Superleggera inscription on the door sills, and the car has dual-zone climate control, electric windows, an infotainment system, a reversing camera and navigation.

Gallardo Superleggera is powered by a 5.0-liter V10 engine with 523 hp (385 kW) and 376 lb-ft (510 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via a six-speed E-Gear automated transmission.
