The Zenvo TSR-S is a road-legal version of the track-focused Zenvo TSR. Unveiled at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, the TSR-S features numerous upgrades and design changes compared to the previous TS1 models and sits in-between the road-going, grand touring TS1 GT and the race-focused, track only TSR. The Zenvo TS1 GT is a limited production sports car manufactured by Danish automobile manufacturer Zenvo Automotive. 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 powertrain of the TSR-S has also been updated, and the 5.8-litre Twin-supercharged V8 engine developed in-house now rated at 878 kW (1,194 PS; 1,177 hp) at 8,500 rpm. The manufacturer claims that this performance increase allows the TSR-S to accelerate from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.8 seconds, and from 0–200 km/h (124 mph) in 6.8 seconds. The TSR-S maintains the 325 km/h (202 mph) top speed of the TSR. The dual gearbox allows drivers to switch between a standard road gearbox configuration and a brutal mechanical direct power-shift race set-up, using the paddle shifts. The seven-speed gearbox also features helical-cut dog gears that deliver raw and fast shifts on the road.
On the exterior of the car, the TSR-S has been redesigned with a larger front grille and large integrated splitter and diffuser. The carbon-fiber wing on the rear of the car is able to rotate with two degrees of freedom, allowing for air braking and corner stabilization. The interior of the car is driver focused as the TSR as standard, however many features of the TS1 GT can be optioned into the car like a sound system and climate control.[9] Weight savings on the TSR-S sum to 85 kg (187 lb) over the TS1 GT, bringing the total weight of the car down to 1,495 kg (3,296 lb).
Zenvo TSR-S crouched on the road like a lion primed to attack; this naturally powerful image having inspired the Zenvo design team. Setting the car apart from its rivals, the TSR-S features innovative aerodynamic technology that improves stability and high-speed cornering – its active multi-axis Centripetal Wing. Under braking, it creates additional drag and acts as an air brake, while in cornering it distributes downforce that boosts inner tyre grip. The lateral angle of attack can change by up to 20 degrees, giving the unique and patented Centripetal Wing a significant advantage over other cars on the road.

It was founded by Troels Vollertsen, and the name ‘Zenvo’ is derived from a combination of the last 3 and first 2 letters in his last name. Zenvo Automotive was founded in 2004. The first prototype of what became the Zenvo ST1 was completed in December 2008 and production began in 2009. Only 15 Zenvo ST1 cars were built and sold.[2]The expertly crafted Zenvo TSR-S sits at the pinnacle of the hypercar segment.
