Cars like the Arial Atom, KTM X-Bow and the extreme BAC Mono might not appeal to the masses, but they do strike a special spot in the petrolhead’s heart. From the appearance itself, we could already see that the car was made purely with performance in mind and there is no need for a roof to be in the way. And just when we thought we have seen it all, a new player comes up with another topless track toy for you to consider.
After launching the Zenos E10 earlier this year, they recently introduced the new E10 R sports car which for the time being is available for order in the UK. This no-frills car is powered by the 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine found in the Ford Focus RS, making out 345-horsepower at 6,000rpm and 350 lb-ft of torque at 4,000rpm.
The engine is mid-mounted and mated to a six-speed manual that sends the power to the rear wheels. Zenos estimates that the E10 R can do a zerotohundred in 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of 250km/h.
The cabin only holds the necessities such as a centre console multifunction TFT and a separate driver display, a 4-point racing harness and lightweight composite seats. Buyers are also offered the options of carbon fiber heated seats, 6-point racing harness as well as a quick release steering wheel.
To top it off, Zenos will also be offering a limited edition if the car called the ‘Drive Edition’. This special edition model is fitted with bespoke paintwork, special decals, one-way adjustable Bilstein dampers, anodized aluminium short-shift gear lever and a carbon leather interior. Prices for this 700kg track toy starts at USD 60,757 (RM 260,526) and the 15-only Drive Edition will be priced at USD 66,833 (RM 286,579).
