One of the most desirable and shockingly raw hypercars of 2014?

Definitely the Zenvo ST1 – with its huge mid-mounted V8 both turbocharged and supercharged to deliver 650-horsepower in Wet settings, 850-HP in Sport and the full 1104 horsepower in the Race settings.

All to just the back wheels. No hybrid power assistance like the big 3 hypercars of this year – just raw adrenaline through a seven-speed paddle-shift automatic.

Out back traction is managed by racing-wide tires and a locking Torsen limited-slip-differential.

This is a car for people tired of the washed-out and watered-down class of hybrid hypercar. People for whom the control and natural balance of rear-drive is a supercar birthright.

ZENVO has taken some punches in its debut is this $1.1-million-dollar dreamcar — but emerged stronger and with more rigorous R&D and supplier quality as a result.

Evidence of the Denmark-based Zenvo team’s skill is in the car’s crash strength, something that typically keeps the wildest of hypercars off our streets for too many years.

The overall concept of the Zenvo ST1 is closest in concept to the Koenigsegg Agera — but with the ST1 simply a far more brutal and crisp design.

So when plugging in and battery assist fads wear off, nothing can deliver the pure race-car thrills of a hypercar like the 2014 Zenvo ST1.

The example in white below was delivered to a client in the Middle East, and its white/gold color scheme looks outstanding on the ST1’s ultra-low, wide and lean design.

Full specs are below from Zenvo, and those interested in visiting Denmark for a test-drive should contact the ZENVO sales team in Switzerland.
