Zenvo keeps the V12 alive
Zenvo is a wildcard supercar brand. Although its name is not as recognisable as, say, Bugatti or Koenigsegg, its future-inspired aesthetic and glorious engine development are not to be taken lightly. Its current weapon is the Aurora, which was first launched in 2023 with the track-focused Agil. While the Tur was also announced two years ago, it’s finally here, and it took to the Goodwood Hillclimb in noisy fashion.
The Aurora Agil is a petrolhead’s dream on paper and flexes a quad-turbocharged 6.6-litre V12 that produces 1,081kW, 1,400Nm and has the looks to match. Yet, with the spotlight dimming on the Agil, the brand has introduced the Tur, which provides customers with a grand tourer version of the Aurora.
Although Zenvo has developed a reputation for dynamic and ultra-modern styling courtesy of aggressive aerodynamics, the Tur is a softer-styled supercar that retains its futuristic look despite the absence of the massive rear wing and dynamic front-end air ducting. Only the Tur is a more brutal machine under acceleration, with an increased power output of 1,380kW and 1,700Nm.
The Tur has more power, but unlike its Agil counterpart, it fights in the top speed category rather than necessarily crushing lap times. The Agil could reach a top speed of 365km/h, where its aggressive downforce-focused aero limited its legs. The Tur, on the other hand, is sleek and removes a huge quantity of drag from the Agil, topping off at a road-melting 450km/h.
Zenvo's chief designer, Christian Brandt, describes the Tur's curves as the more natural model for the brand, stating, "The Tur almost seemed to appear as the natural design—stripped back to the raw elements, with the bodywork looking as if it is simply draped over the chassis in places.” It’s slick yet bold, with almost a touch of simplicity in design, and its appearance couldn’t be better summed up. Thank you, Christian.
So with a quad-turbo V12, sleek design, and long legs, with enough power to remove your ability to blink, how could it get better? Well, if you like the carbon fibre look, the interior is a heaven of sorts, featuring carbon fibre from the doors, pillars, dash, and centre console. The exterior only firms up the racecar aesthetic with more carbon fibre finishes than most other hypercars we have seen. It is also furnished with brown leather and brown trims inside to ensure a touch of class is retained.
We first heard of the Tur in 2023, when the brand launched the Aurora with both the Tur and Agil names. It’s pleasing to see how well the brand has kept its design language throughout the Aurora lineup, even while providing two completely different experiences. All models are hand-built in Denmark.
