Zenvo's ST1 – The First Danish Supercar






Danish company Zenvo Automotive has apparently close to entering the final phases of testing its first all-Danes' designed supercar, codenamed the ST1.

According to Zenvo, the project was birthed way back in 2004, and the ST1 will go into a limited production of 15 in 2009. This is no ordinary Danish cookie: the rear-wheel-drive ST1 hides a turbocharged and super-charged 7.0-liter V8 engine, mid-mounted, and capable of 1,104bhp with an electronically top speed of 233mph.

Zenvo claims that the ST1 clocked a 0-62mph (0-100km/h) sprint during its first performance test in 3.2 seconds in early October this year, (apparently, that still falls short of the Danish company’s goal of a flat three seconds).

The subsequent 0-124mph (0-200km/h) run chalked up 8.9s. That record should not worry the likes of the Bugatti Veyron or the SSC Ultimate Aero, but for a first shot at producing its own supercar, Zenvo has certainly scored a Danish delight.
