This shy, retiring looking little runaround is the latest output from your favourite Danish purveyor of supercars: Zenvo. Meet the snappily titled TSR-S. Styling wise, you"ll recognize this as a Zenvo. Grrr. It"s angry. And you"ll note that it"s been twin-supercharged again. This time, the 5.8-litre V8"s power output is said to be a heady 1,177bhp at 8,500rpm though the power output is manually adjustable from the cockpit, we"re told. You can select as little as 700bhp if you"re a beginner. See, it"s a pussycat. It"s also resplendent with two gearboxes in one". Sounds heavy. Well, it"s not actually two separate gearboxes. Rather, Zenvo has fitted a motorsport-spec seven-speed dog-box transmission, which we"re vaguely informed can "switch between a standard road gearbox configuration and a brutal mechanical direct power-shift race set-up that delivers a genuine race car experience on the track." Apparently in the most aggressive mode you"re in for "one of the fastest-shifting transmissions in existence". Blimey.
