Crazy wing out and fixed spoiler in for super limited final edition of the V8 Danish hypercar

Asked to name one detail about the Zenvo TS range of hypercars, one thing will come to mind – the spoiler. Fitted to the TSR-S, the tilting ‘Centripetal’ wing claimed to benefit both downforce and vectoring; Zenvo founder Troels Vollertsen described it as the ‘aerodynamic equivalent of an anti-roll bar’. It certainly gave the TSR-S a USP. Now, with production of the TS range – produced since 2016 and including the TSR, TS1 GT and TSR-S, which of course you knew – winding up, it’s time for the farewell special edition. The spoiler is a given, right?
Actually no. This new TSR-GT sports a much more modest, fixed rear wing, reflecting a touring-biased remit. But that’s all relative in the world of Zenvo. Because this new GT also gets a TS Power Pack for the twin-supercharged 5.8-litre V8, comprising an upgraded inlet plenum and exhaust manifold, meaning an almighty 1,378hp (1,360bhp), up from a measly 1,193hp (1,177bhp) as standard. The transmission is Zenvo’s own helical-cut dog box, too, which doesn’t sound like the kind of soothing automatic from a conventional GT. With the new, slipperier shape, aero disc wheels and a longer final drive – this is the tourer, don’t forget, the GT is said to be capable of 263mph. A TSR-S can only ‘amble’ along at 202mph. It’ll even run on E85.
So it’s a little bit more than a spoiler substitution, and a very different take on the GT thing. But there is a new interior, one much more habitable than the TSR-S, with plentiful Alcantara and leather, plus ‘noise-reducing leather edged velour floor mats’. It’s still unlikely to be a laid back continent crusher, though it is something different from Zenvo. Jens Sverdrup, the company’s Chief Commercial Officer and Chairman, has described this as the “low-drag, high-speed version of the TSR-S”.
Though only these renders are available for now, Zenvo says production of the TSR-GT is underway. Not that it’ll be going for long, as only three are to be produced and they’re all spoken for. They will be made, along with a few more examples of the TSR-S, ahead of an all-new vehicle from Zenvo coming in Q3 2023. Let’s hope it’s not an SUV…
