Zenvo’s quad-turbocharged, V-12-powered Aurora hypercar hits the highway quickly. We caught a glimpse of the near-production physique final 12 months in Monterey, and this 12 months at Goodwood, the corporate ran remaining prototypes of its upcoming hypercar up the long-lasting hillclimb.

However that is not all Zenvo has deliberate.

Final 12 months, the Danish supercar maker confirmed to Motor1 that it was engaged on a smaller ‘junior hypercar’ that will sit simply beneath the Aurora. This 12 months, Zenvo reiterated these plans, telling High Gear that its ‘junior hypercar’ remains to be within the works—and that it’s going to have a really distinctive engine: A V-10.

“We’re already engaged on a V-10 model for our junior hypercar,” Chairman Jens Sverdrup advised High Gear.

The V-12 underhood of the Aurora is a “modular engine,” Sverdrup says, which suggests it could operate in eight-, 10-, and even six-cylinder configurations. Higher but, Sverdrup confirmed that the engine “does not should be a hybrid” just like the bigger Aurora. He says:

‘The engine was designed from day one with future-proofing in thoughts, so it may be naturally aspirated, it could after all run as a non-hybrid too if want be. Emissions are the actual concern, although. I feel it is going to be powerful to fulfill the subsequent set of necessities with out operating a hybrid system.’

When Zenvo spoke to Motor1 final 12 months in Monterey, the corporate mentioned that the identical monocoque chassis from the Aurora would even be used on this smaller hypercar. “We will use the monocoque for different initiatives,” famous Head of Zenvo Design Christian Brandt.

However earlier than Zenvo even thinks about getting its child hypercar on the highway, the corporate is targeted on bringing the halo Aurora to life. The 1,850-horsepower hypercar formally goes into manufacturing subsequent 12 months, with 50 examples of the road-focused Tur trim deliberate, alongside 50 examples of the track-capable Agil mannequin.

The Zenvo Aurora is estimated to start out at round $2.8 million.
