VIDEO: 878kW Zenvo TSR-S shows off wacky active aero
Watch Danish supercar's wing throw some shapes as it maximises downforce through cornersZenvo's wild TSR-S has been caught testing at the Assen TT Circuit in the Netherlands in a new video that shows off the incredible active aero the 878kW Danish hypercar will come with.
Tilting left, right and twisting on its axis, the huge rear wing appears to be capable of maximising downforce to increase stability even through a sweeping bend.
It's not just downforce that Zenvo's Centripetal Wing manages to boost. On the circuit's straight it flattens itself to reduce drag to maximise top speed. Under braking, the opposite occurs, the wing pivoting all the way forward to act as an air brake.
Thanks to that wing, which employs two rotational axes, the Zenvo is capable of managing exactly how much downforce it needs through any given corner.
The result, claims the car-maker, is "unprecedented levels of aerodynamic engineering capability for a road-going car".
Other supercars like the current McLaren 720S and the older Pagani Huayra have both relied on active aerodynamics, but Zenvo claims its solution provides a road-going car with the cornering downforce of a dedicated track-bred race car.
Based on the original TS1 launched back in 2009, the TSR-S -- which was unveiled in March at this year's Geneva motor show -- is said to be a street-legal version of Zenvo's TSR race car.
Powered by a twin-supercharged 5.8-litre V8, the TSR-S churns out an incredible 878kW/1100Nm.
That's easily enough, its creators say, for the McLaren Senna rival to hit 100km/h in just 2.8 seconds and 200km/h in just 6.8sec.
At the Geneva show the Danish firm announced it would build just five "ultimate Zenvo" TSR-S vehicles.
