So what’s all this talk about a Danish supercar then? Yes, as unlikely as it sounds, it’s not actually an urban myth. The Zenvo ST1 is a car of 100% Danish design – and it delivers ferocious power that is suiting to the amazingly aggressive looks. We’re talking about 1,104bhp and 1430N/m of torque. Yes, it will tear your head off. The Zenvo ST1 is designed to express the excessive power and performance of the car.
The design brief from the Zenvo creators to the designers at hermann & brandt design consultancy was to design a supercar that looked like no other supercar. The design had to be aggressive mixing supercar styling with race car elements.
The design of the car is made from free flowing accelerating lines creating the shape of the wheel arches, the roof line, side line and the lower side air intake. The sharp lines are connected by muscular organic surfacing creating dramatic reflections. Contrasting the general surfacing the design features a race car inspired lower carbon splitter.

Is there any point to this car? Well, that I remain unconvinced of. It doesn’t arrive with the rumoured 550bhp, but the twin-turbo 3.8 V6 has been given more torque in the mid and higher rev range – meaning that this is going to give you ‘proper’ rev-the-nuts-off sports car performance, though it’s arguable that the standard Nissan GT-R didn’t achieve just that. I’m not sure why anyone wouldn’t want the more balanced ‘standard’ distribution of torque but there we are.
Naturally, the SpecV comes with a modified exhaust (titanium coated) along with a new boost controller for the true petrolheads who buy this monster. Carbon ceramic brakes are fitted as standard along with 20” NISMO alloys – NISMO being responsible for the bodykits on 50% of the Nissan Skylines you still see tearing about.
You also get more to look at for your money, including an Ultimate Black Opal paint job, a carbon fibre (for lighter weight) spoiler, a carbon fibre grille and brake ducts. Perhaps unsurprising (yet still disappointing) is the removal of the rear seats in favour of a storage box. Seriously guys?
There’s been no official announcement of the car coming to the UK but with exchange rates as they are this could well be a £100,000 Nissan. That’s a bit scary. So, is it going to be worth almost double the price of the standard car? Definitely, most definitely NOT.
