Zenvo TSR-S

 

This and the next few posts on Carson's Car Pics will feature a few rare and extraordinary supercars that I saw in person for the first time ever at this year's Exotics on Broadway show, starting with the Zenvo TSR-S. The TSR-S was unveiled in 2018 at the Geneva Motor Show by Danish supercar manufacturer Zenvo Automotive as the road-going version of the TSR track car and part of its second-generation TS series, slotting in between the grand-touring TS1 GT and track-only TSR. It is powered by twin-supercharged 5.8-liter V8 with 1177 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The TSR-S launches from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.8 seconds, zero to 124 mph (200 km/h) in 6.8 seconds, and can reach a top speed of 202 mph. 

The TSR-S' most unique feature is its massive rear wing. This rear wing is practically an "air brake and a cornering stabilizer" according to Zenvo and can rotate up to 20 degrees on two axes. The TSR-S utilizes a steel-and-aluminum spaceframe with carbon-fiber bodywork and steel subframes, and every component of the car is internally sourced at Zenvo's production facility in Denmark. It has three power modes: 700 Horsepower, iQ, and Maximum. The first and third mode's power settings are as stated, while iQ tailors output depending on road and weather conditions. The TSR-S also has a larger grille and an integrated splitter and diffuser over the TS1 GT, along with a spartan, driver-focused interior that can be optioned with more daily drive-able features like climate control and a sound system.

Zenvo produces no more than five cars a year, and since the TSR-S has been in production since 2018, there are roughly 25-30 examples in existence. It is worth around a few million dollars a pop and was never officially sold Stateside. Exotics on Broadway marked the first time I have ever seen a Zenvo TSR-S or any Zenvo for that matter in person. Some of you will recognize this particular example because it is Chassis #04 and belongs to renowned British automotive YouTuber Tim Burton, also known as Shmee150, who has amassed an amazing collection over the past several years and displays his vehicles at some of the top car events all over the world every year. Shmee's TSR-S and one or two other TSR-S examples were also at last year's Exotics on Broadway, but those were probably the only cars I totally missed out on seeing at last year's show. In all, The Zenvo TSR-S is one of the coolest and most insane cars that not enough people know of or about and one of the coolest and most unique cars in Shmee's collection.
