Zenvo Automotive Steals the Spotlight at Salon Privé 2024

Zenvo Automotive – the star at Salon Privé 2024

This year’s Salon Privé at the historic Blenheim Palace promises to be a highlight on the global luxury automotive calendar, with Zenvo Automotive set to be the undisputed star of the event. The Danish hypercar marque, known for pushing the boundaries of design and performance, will make its highly anticipated debut with the groundbreaking Aurora models, the Agil and Tur, marking only their second public appearance since their European unveiling.

Zenvo’s arrival at Salon Privé signifies the brand’s bold entry into what it calls its “second chapter.” The all-new Aurora models epitomise the company’s no-compromise approach to hypercar engineering, blending cutting-edge technology with a design philosophy rooted in Danish minimalism. As Chairman and Chief Commercial Officer Jens Sverdrup describes it, the Aurora represents an “equilibrium of extremes,” combining raw power with refined elegance.

The Aurora is not just the most powerful car Zenvo has ever produced; it is also the lightest, boasting a carbon fibre body and a host of Formula 1-inspired technologies. At the heart of this engineering marvel is a bespoke 6.6-litre quad-turbo V12 hybrid engine, developed in collaboration with MAHLE Powertrain in Northampton, UK. The rear-wheel-drive Aurora Agil variant offers an astonishing 1,450bhp, with the engine capable of revving to an ear-splitting 9,800rpm.

For those seeking even more power, the all-wheel-drive Aurora Tur takes the performance to an unprecedented level. Augmented by a triple electric motor system, the Tur delivers a jaw-dropping total of 1,850bhp. This hybrid powertrain sets a new benchmark, making the Aurora the most powerful V12 engine ever installed in a road car. Zenvo promises that this setup delivers the instant throttle response typical of naturally aspirated engines, coupled with a seamless surge of power and torque.

The engineering brilliance of the Aurora is matched by its design. The new ZM1 modular monocoque, inspired by Formula 1 principles, is at the core of both the Agil and Tur variants, offering a perfect balance between comfort and performance. This modular approach allows Zenvo to craft two distinct driving experiences. The Aurora Tur embodies the ethos of grand touring, with its elegant, flowing lines and a focus on luxurious long-distance driving. In contrast, the Aurora Agil is a track-focused beast, with aggressive aerodynamic styling designed to generate immense downforce, ensuring it hugs the tarmac at high speeds.

For enthusiasts and collectors alike, Zenvo’s Aurora Agil and Tur at Salon Privé represent a unique opportunity to witness the future of hypercar engineering—a future where uncompromised performance and exquisite design converge in perfect harmony.
