The Zenvo Aurora is an upcoming limited production sports car manufactured by Danish automobile manufacturer Zenvo Automotive. It was announced on 14 March 2023 and it was unveiled in August. It is the successor to the TS1 GT, and the company's first hybrid model. The Aurora will be available in two variants. The Aurora Tur is a more road-focused all-wheel drive model, while the Aurora Agil is a more track-focused rear-wheel drive variant. 50 units of each variant will be built with a total of 100 units planned for 2026.
On 29 August 2022, Zenvo announced that a hybrid hyper car is in development. [1] On 14 March 2023, they announced that it would launch the Aurora.

The Aurora is powered by a 6.6-litre Mjølner quad-turbocharged V12 engine developed by Mahle Powertrain, making 1250 hp alone from the engine, plus 3 electric motors making 600 hp. The total power output is 1850 hp and 1700 NM of torque. The engine revs up to 9,800 rpm. The Zenvo Aurora is equipped with the most powerful V12 engine ever fitted to a road car [7] . It has a 7-speed hybridized automatic gearbox with paddle shifters. [5] [6]
Its design exposes 70% of the brand-new ZM1 modular monocoque chassis, developed in collaboration with the carbon specialist Managing Composites. Made of carbon fiber, it weighs only 120 kg (265 lbs), enabling structural safety levels equivalent to those of Formula 1, [8] with the use of composite crash structures for improved energy absorption and crash protection.
