Zenvo Aurora: the world’s most powerful V12 road car is almost here

Danish hypercar maker Zenvo is rolling out two Aurora validation prototypes to this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. The lineup includes the Aurora Tur, a grand-touring variant, and the Aurora Agil, a track-focused version. Both cars are powered by a quad-turbocharged 6.6-litre V12 co-developed with Mahle Powertrains. The naturally aspirated V12 is rated at 1,250 HP with a 9,800 rpm redline, but Zenvo will electrify the range. The Agil gets a single 200 HP e-motor and a hybrid seven-speed gearbox for a total of 1,450 HP. The top-spec Tur adds two front-axle e-motors, pushing total output to 1,850 HP and enabling all-wheel drive. The Tur sprints from 0–62 mph in 2.3 s and tops out at 260 mph, while the Agil does the same sprint in 2.5 s and peaks at 224 mph. Zenvo will build only 50 units of each variant, with first deliveries expected next summer. The Aurora’s V12 is billed as the most powerful ever fitted to a road car, and the company says every aspect of the car—from chassis architecture to exhaust note—has been tuned for maximum driver engagement.
