450km/h Zenvo Aurora V12 hybrid hypercar revealed
Lightest, most powerful model yet from Danish hypercar-maker features 1380kW quad-turbo V12 hybridThe 2025 Zenvo Aurora has been revealed ahead of its official unveiling at the Monterey Car Week in California, featuring a monster new quad-turbo V12 hybrid powertrain.
Taking its name from the northern lights (aurora borealis), the Zenvo Aurora is the lightest and most powerful offering yet from the Danish hypercar-maker.
Available in two versions – the track-focused Agil (Agile) and a slightly more relaxed Tur (Touring) model – the Aurora tips the scales at just 1300kg in Agil guise, thanks largely to a new ZM1 carbon-fibre monocoque that’s said to offer F1 levels of structural safety while only contributing 120kg to the overall mass.
Saving yet more kilos is an all-new, all-aluminium quad-turbo 6.6-litre V12 developed by Mahle Powertrains. Capable of revving to 9800rpm, the new engine alone musters an incredible 932kW and weighs just 260kg.
Zenvo still went ahead and added a single-motor hybrid system for the Agil that raises power further to 1081kW.
Driving through a seven-speed automated manual transmission, the track-focused hypercar can sprint from 0-100km/h in a claimed 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 365km/h.
The supposedly calmer Aurora Tur, meanwhile, sports a more slippery aero but gains an additional electric motor that boosts total output to an incredible 1380kW.
With the extra power and a few more creature comforts, kerb weight on the Tur increases to 1450kg. But from 0-100km/h the Tur is even quicker, taking just 2.3sec while top speed rises to a ballistic 450km/h.
Both the Agil and Tur are said to feature advanced aerodynamics, with the latter gaining a body that favours stable and comfortable driving, while the far more aggressive high-downforce Agil body style manages airflow for maximum pace on track.
Thanks to its big wings and aero elements, the most extreme Aurora can produce up to 880kg of downforce at 250km/h.
With production set to begin in 2025, Zenvo Automotive says it will limit volume of the Zenvo Aurora to just 100 cars – 50 Tur and 50 Agil.
No prices have been released yet, but it’s thought the cheapest version will be priced from €2.59 million ($A4.39m).
