2014 ZENVO ST1 Colorizer Shows Potential of Crisp, Lean and Aggressive Design in 40 Colors
We’re huge fans of the ZENVO ST1 here at Car-Revs-Daily.
The ST1’s design is amazing – clean and pure but quite aggressive and obviously exotic from all angles.
With pricing at or above a million dollars, the ZENVO team is of course open to custom orders.
With that in mind, we took to Photoshop to imagine the ST1 in some classic and ultra-modern hypercar colors. It really looks outstanding in all the yellows and a few of the neon greens.

2014 ZENVO ST1 Colorizer Drafts
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.
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.

About Zenvo
2007
The beginning
A small team of car industry professionals joins forces to realize a mutual dream – the creation of a unique hyper car. The team lays out a number of objectives for the project: the car has to be day-to-day drivable, and design and technology should be equally important in its development. Power should exceed 1100 bhp and acceleration from 0-100 km/h should be under 3 seconds.
2008
The prototype
The prototype is ready for its first road test. Developed in house, the 6.8 litre V8 engine features a unique twin charger system combining super charger and turbo charger. Thus, the model name: ST1. This engine produces continuous torque and an output of 1000 bhp. During test drives the ST1 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds.
2009
The unveiling
Unveiled at the 2009 24-hour Le Mans ‘Drivers parade’, the prototype is nominated for ‘Super car of the year’. Its introduction causes a great stir in the super car industry. In record time, an unknown Danish car manufacturer has achieved what others have spent a decade creating: a hyper car with cutting-edge styling and staggering performance capable of flooring the competition.
2011
The production
After two years of testing and development, Zenvo launches the first series production ST1. Production pushes the car industry’s methods and technology to the very limit to achieve quality and precision of the highest order.
2012
The first
The first car is ready and delivered to the client. The production engine is capable of producing 1104 bhp at 6900 rpm and 1430 Nm of torque at 4500 rpm. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h is now 3 seconds. All the original specification targets have been hit.
