With supercar startups coming out of the woodwork, it takes a lot to get attention. Danish company Zenvo Automotive has done just that with the announcement of its newest project, the ST1. With a mid-mounted turbocharged and supercharged 7.0-liter V8 engine, the ST1 puts out an incredible 1,104 horsepower and  1,430Nm of torque funneled through a six-speed manual gearbox. Attention officially granted.

The project was started back in 2004, and the first cars are — optimistically — planned for delivery in 2009. The first performance tests were completed in October and the rear-wheel-drive ST1 is claimed to have reached 100km/h in what we imagine was a traction-limited 3.2 seconds. The run to 193km/h was accomplished in just under nine seconds and the top speed is reported to be an electronically limited 375km/h. So a Veyron/Ultimate Aero/GT9/CCX-killer this is not.

The Zenvo ST1 certainly looks unique, with a very geometric appearance, including boomerang-shaped vents adorning the grille, hood and sides. Nothing quite like it is currently rolling on the roads and with just 15 scheduled for production, prospective owners can count on never seeing one in any parking lot. Follow the link below to learn more of this Danish supercar.

Yeah the SUPERCHARGED is to blow on the TURBO CHARGED as i think the engine was not able to push the TURBO alone and therefore it required the SUPERCHARGED. That is something these DESIGNER have to pick up from the JAP. With a 2 Liter engine and not giving it any problem to push a GT35.

Thanks for the info josh.
Did some research on the use of turbocharging and supercharging before. The last time it was massively used was on WWII planes. War tech on fast wheels. Mmmmm.... I like that. I believe this car would have no lag at all. Anyone agrees this could be the next best supercar?

ok seriously... this car look SHHIIICCCKKKK...
but somehow reminds me of other cars..
from the front reminds me of K-1 attack+maseratti grand tourismo, the side reminds me of reventon... the back body line reminds me of the porsche carrera GT.

but the back end is awesome.... i guess the only time you can see this car back end, is in a traffic light, when you are right behind it.. or else.. it's just a blurr....

can't wait till it's on TopGear track.. with the STIIGGGG...
K
yup.. i think it's the same one that powers the Z06 Corvette..

Somehow the front reminds me of GTbyCitroen and also Ferarri California GT. Anyhow I like it though, maybe the limiter should be put out kekeke.

i believe that anything over 375km/h is just unstable... supercars are not supposed to equiped with speed limiter (dun talk bout r35)
correct me...

Any TURBO CHARGED system there will still be lag. What this fella is trying to archive is a SuperCharged VTEC/MIVEC/VVTI kinda effect. Low and High Rev... That's why you get the high torque... :D Wanna try it with my Kelisa?? Lets experiment

The limiting factor usually for 400km/h super exotics are tyres.
