Default Zenvo and Danish unveil 1,104-hp Zenvo ST1





Quote:
If supercar startups keep coming out like they are we may have to dedicate some Silicon Valley-like city for them. Zenvo Automotive and Danish Design have teamed up to offer the Zenvo ST1, and it’s blistering fast and will certainly be a PNTYDRPR.


Power comes from a 7.0L V8 turbocharged and supercharged engine that makes a total of 1,104-hp with a maximum torque of 1,054 lb-ft. That allows for a 0 to 62 mph run in 3 seconds flat with a top speed that is electronically limited to 233 mph. Of course Zenvo Automotive isn’t releasing any fuel-economy figures and we highly doubt they will in a fuel-saving conscious market such as this.


If you’re looking to get your hands on one then you better be special. The company will only produce 15 units of the Zenvo ST1 that will be sold to “special approved customers.” How do you become a “special approved customer?” We guess you just try to contact them and tell them how special your bank account is

That fake mesh is hideous, looks like it belongs on a ford focus. WTF were they thinking? The car has nice lines though, looks like something I drew in highschool.

Wow, so now I know who was purchasing all the 'K1 Attacks'...

They think they can take a relatively cheap KIT CAR and charge a "special" price ? /laugh

BTW -- The K1 Attack kit car that they are building off;


Dont get me wrong, it does look good tho..

That 0-60 time seems kind of... slow for 1000+ hp.

Probably traction limited, even with 335's in the rear.

I think the car looks gorgeous.

Quote:
The Danes are better known for their stunning architectural and cutting-edge product design, but now a Danish firm has turned its hand to the task of designing a supercar, and the result is the Zenvo ST1. As the first purely Danish supercar, the ST1 sets its aspirations high.

Powered by a turbo/supercharged V8 engine rated at 1,104hp (823kW) and a massive 1,056lb-ft (1,430nm), the car's designers claim 0-62mph (100km/h) acceleration in just 3.0 seconds, an electronically limited top speed of 232mph (375km/h) and a power-to-weight ratio of 802hp/tonne. The impressive performance comes despite RWD-only drive and a six-speed manual transmission as the only option.

Fuel consumption and emissions figures haven't yet been released, but don't expect it to be a green overachiever.

At the front 19x9.5in wheels are wrapped with 255/35 Michelin rubber, while the rears get 20x12.5in wheels and 335/30 shoes to help put all that power to the ground. Despite the huge power and big alloy wheels, the car is surprisingly small, at just 15.3ft (4.66m) long, 6.7ft (2.04m) wide, and 3.9ft (1.19m) tall and weighs just over 3,020lb (1,376kg) thanks to carbon fiber body panels.

Unlike some small-firm supercars, the Zenvo ST1 takes luxurious accommodation as seriously as performance, offering everything from keyless entry to satellite navigation and power telescoping steering wheel as standard equipment. Even the leather-and-alcantara racing seats are electrically adjustable.

No word has yet been released on pricing of the car, but Zenvo has clear series production plans, set to start in 2009. Only 15 of the cars will be built, each assembled by hand, but given the car's dramatic styling and impressive power figures, it's likely to find a niche among the small crowd of supercar buyers.

Probably weighs half of the Bugatti, and would be lucky to make half the traction

With half as many wheels spinning, I'm sure you're right, but it looks like the Ferrari FXX pulls a 2.8 with about 300 fewer ponies. In fact, most the Italian supercars will put you in the low threes with 300 - 500 less.

I dunno, I guess I'd just rather have a nice red Ferrari than something that looks like it came out of the Burnout video games.

It's a RWD car. There is only so much power that can be put down at those low speeds. You could give it 2000 hp and it wouldn't get any faster. It would probably be just as fast to 60 with 800 hp. .2 tenths of a second to the enzo could be down to OEM tire choice, gearing, etc. Again, 2wd cars are just not going to get faster at such low speeds.

It is not rocket science why a 700 HP car can do a 3.2, while a 1000 hp car does a 3.0. It's quite simple.

It's got the overall shape of an Audi R8 with the "flame surfacing" of a BMW, and a pinch of Aston Martin nose... either way, it's one mean looking car. Completely overkill, but pretty darn cool looking none the less.

Oh yea, and it's coming out at a perfect time, in terms of the economy and all.

yup, it's an LS7
man, no turbo blanket around the turbine housing, no ceramic coatings or exhaust wrapping on the "hot parts," no heat reflective wrapping for the intake tube for the supercharger with the wastegate right next to it....

Default Supercar maker Zenvo's seven-speed transmission shifts faster with no synchromesh




Supercar maker Zenvo's seven-speed transmission shifts faster with no synchromesh

Quote:
Zenvo is another of those niche supercar makers that spends more time seeking better ways to perform an old trick than mainstream manufacturers have either the time or money for. Its new 1177bhp TSR-S hypercar is equipped with not a sequential, dual-clutch transmission for fast shifting but the firm’s automated manual ‘dog ’box’ transmission based on lighter, more aggressive motorsport principles.



Dog ’box is the moniker given to dog engagement gearboxes typically found in all manner of race and rally cars. It’s simple, strong and fast shifting and lacks the usual synchromesh that enables crunchless shifts but blocks super-fast gearchanges.

Most gearboxes, aside from torque-converter-based automatics and CVTs, are fundamentally similar and the selection of a gear ratio depends on temporarily locking a gear that is usually free spinning (neutral) to its shaft. The locking is done by a dog clutch when the driver selects the gear, something that involves the interlocking of tooth-like steel ‘dogs’ on the gear, with grooves in the dog clutch.

The shaft and dog clutch are usually spinning at higher speeds that the gear being selected and engaging the gear can involve a lot of noise, crunching, clunking and roughness, which is not acceptable in a road car, not even a supercar. On the upside, a manual dog ’box does allow a skilled driver to make very fast, seamless upshifts without the use of the clutch.

A synchromesh gearbox is essentially the same animal, with gears engaged by dog clutches sliding along a shaft. The difference is a synchroniser between the dog clutch and gear, harmonising the speed of the two and avoiding the ‘dog-on-dog’ clash that causes all the noise and wear.

For its gearbox, Zenvo initially used a proprietary synchromesh seven-speed paddle-shift automated manual gearbox but found the shifting times disappointing due to the synchromesh. The same has been true of the early Alfa Romeo Selespeed and Ferrari F1 automated manuals and, to a lesser extent, BMW’s SMG. To improve shift speed, Zenvo switched to bespoke dog ’box internals with hall-effect sensors to measure the speed of internal shafts to within a few rpm. This approach, in conjunction with its own software control system, allowed the dog clutches and gears to be synchronised without the use of conventional synchronisers.

By adding its own electro-hydraulic selector and clutch mechanism, the result is race-car-like shift speeds with far greater refinement than a pure racing gearbox. If Race mode is selected by the driver, upshifts become clutchless ‘powershifts’, made without lifting the throttle. Zenvo has stopped short of using ‘straight-cut’ gears with teeth cut at 90deg to the direction of rotation as in a competition car because it would just be too noisy. Instead, it uses traditional helical-cut gears (with teeth cut at an angle), trading the small amount of power they absorb for a modicum of sanity. That said, its design is about as near to a race design as it’s possible to get and, on paper at least, arguably one of the coolest performance car transmissions out there.

A new, eight-speed hybrid version of Zenvo’s seven-speed gearbox is expected to enter production in 2021. As well as boosting torque, the integrated hybrid electric motor is used to synchronise shaft speeds much faster and more accurately than the existing internal hydraulic brake, recovering energy at the same time. It also acts as the starter motor and provides much faster blips on downshifts than the engine alone could do. It handles reversing, too, freeing up space in the gearbox for the eighth forward speed.
