The latest entrant into the supercar realm is the freshly unveiled Zenvo Aurora, a creation of the Danish car manufacturer. Its grand unveiling takes place amid the Monterey Car Week held in California. Enthusiasts can look forward to the Tur model for luxurious touring and the Agil version tailored for the racetrack, both of which are strictly limited to a production run of 50 units each. Commencing production in 2026, the price tag starts at approximately $2.83 million, equivalent to 2.59 million euros.
Underneath the hoods of both Aurora iterations lies a quad-turbocharged 6.6-liter V12 engine sourced from Mahle Powertrain. This powerhouse in itself generates an impressive 1,250 horsepower, capable of spinning up to 9,800 revolutions per minute. In the case of the rear-wheel-drive Agil variant, a solitary electric motor supplements the engine, propelling the combined output to a robust 1,450 hp along with a torque of 1,033 pound-feet (1,400 Newton-meters). Acceleration-wise, this model dashes from 0 to 62 miles per hour in an exhilarating 2.5 seconds, reaching 125 mph in just 4.6 seconds, while the peak velocity peaks at an astonishing 227 miles per hour.
For the all-wheel-drive Tur model, a pair of supplementary electric motors adorn the front wheels, skyrocketing the total power yield to an impressive 1,850 hp along with a torque of 1,254 lb-ft (1,700 Nm). This version can accelerate to 62 mph in a mere 2.3 seconds and boasts a top speed of 280 mph. The extra motors can also be included in the Agil version as an added option.
The heart of the machine connects to a seven-speed gearbox. This transmission unit is designed with an incorporated electric motor that springs into action during reverse maneuvers while also serving as the starting mechanism for the powerplant. Both the Agil and Tur iterations are equipped with distinct gear ratios and gearchange mappings.
Zenvo has chosen to withhold battery specifications for either of the Aurora models.
In terms of weight, the Agil model tips the scales at less than 2,866 pounds (1,300 kilograms). Remarkably, its aerodynamically crafted body generates an immense 1,940 pounds (880 kg) of downforce at a speed of 155 mph. Contrastingly, the Tur variant bears a weight of 3,197 pounds (1,450 kg) due to the inclusion of the supplementary dual motors.
The design language embraced by both incarnations of the Aurora is characterized by sharp lines and well-defined edges. The Agil showcases a prominent rear wing, while the Tur boasts a sleeker, cleaner silhouette. Zenvo’s Chief Designer Christian Brandt articulated, “Every aspect of Aurora’s chassis and components is a masterpiece, and we consciously decided not to conceal these intricate elements beneath a monolithic design.”
This design ethos exposes around 70 percent of the carbon monocoque, revealing sections of the front and rear subframes. Notably, portions of the pushrod front and rear double-wishbone suspension are also visibly integrated into the design.
Regrettably, Zenvo has elected to remain tight-lipped about the interior specifics of the Aurora. However, images on display showcase an array of instruments arranged before the driver. These include a compact infotainment screen on the left, a substantial tachometer occupying the center stage, and a dual-function gauge displaying both fuel and battery levels on the right side.
