by AutoExpert | 17 August, 2023
The Aurora hypercar, Zenvo's newest innovation, joins the ranks of very fast vehicles with its two distinct trim levels: the Agil and the Tur. The Agil caters to high-downforce track performance, while the Tur offers a slightly more road-focused experience.
Jens Sverdrup, Zenvo's chairman of the board, emphasizes that the Aurora was designed from scratch to create an exceptional driver's car without limitations.
Both versions share Zenvo's new ZM1 modular monocoque, boasting Formula 1-level structural safety and remarkable rigidity. This lightweight carbon composite part tips the scales at just 265 lbs. A mid-mounted V12 engine with a weight of 575 lbs powers the Aurora. With the help of four turbochargers, this 6.6-liter engine can rev up to an impressive 9,800 RPM and produce an astounding 1,250 hp.
The Agil, tailored for track prowess, has one electric motor paired with the engine, yielding a combined output of 1,450 hp to the rear wheels. Even the seven-speed transmission is meticulously tuned to offer an explosive driving sensation. Moreover, the Agil trim features an aggressive aerodynamic package that generates 1,940 lbs of downforce at 155 mph, is capable of accelerating from 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds, and hits a top speed of 227 mph.
On the other hand, the road-oriented Aurora Tur showcases a sleeker profile and incorporates two additional electric motors, amassing a monstrous 1,850 hp. While it carries a slightly higher weight of 3,197 lbs the Tur accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.3 seconds and reaches an astonishing top speed of 280 mph. Comfort is not compromised, as it offers leather seats and other luxurious touches inside.
Zenvo's headquarters in Præstø, Denmark, will be the birthplace of this extraordinary hypercar, while pricing details are yet to be disclosed. Production of the Zenvo Aurora is set to commence in 2025, with only 50 units of each trim level being produced.
