The Zenvo TS1 GT is a limited production sports car manufactured by Danish automobile manufacturer Zenvo Automotive. It was unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. Though the TS1 GT shares a similar chassis and body with its predecessor, the ST1, its new powertrain and upgraded interior earn it a new model designation along with the ‘grand tourer’ qualification. The interior of the Zenvo TS1 GT features a dashboard and central console finished in carbon-fiber and Alcantara, along with carbon-fiber bucket seats for the driver and passenger. The production of the car is planned to be limited at 5 units per year, an increase from the limited 15-car total production run of its predecessor.
Featuring the same bespoke Zenvo-built 5.8-litre twin supercharged V8 engine developed in-house, with 1,104 bhp, a top speed of 232 mph and the ability to go from 0-62 mph in just 3.0 seconds, TS1 GT is built for a purer hypercar experience on the road. The upgraded engine has been mounted lower in the chassis, improving the centre of gravity of the TS1 GT, which in turn allows the driver to have better handling of the vehicle. The engine has mid-rear mounted position.
That’s not the only addition Zenvo made to the TS1 GT: it also comes equipped with a seven-speed sequential gearbox that gives the car ultrafast gearshifts. The TS1 GT is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic with helical-cut dog gears. The transmission is paired with a Torsen limited-slip differential and the clutch consists of two 240 mm discs. The car uses double wishbone suspension coupled with adjustable shocks and composite anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles. A hydraulic lifting mechanism is able to raise the front axle by 50 mm for extra ground clearance.
The interior alone takes over 8,000 hours to complete, all hand-made by our in-house specialists. The infotainment system includes a dashboard display, central display, and an Alpine audio system with Bluetooth connectivity., The TS1 GT is equipped with forged aluminum wheels with diameters of 483 millimetres at the front and 508 millimetres at the rear. The car uses Michelin Pilot Sport 4S or Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires with codes of 265/35 ZR 19 at the front and 345/30 ZR 20 at the rear. The brakes are ventilated carbon ceramic discs, with a diameter of 395 mm (15.6 in) at the front and 380 mm at the rear, each equipped with six-piston aluminum calipers.
