We've sampled the Zenvo ST1's charms while avoiding camels in the desert, but now, puny Earthlings, is your chance to see it for yourselves.
See pics of some camels, Stig... and a Zenvo ST1 in Dubai
Because hypercar upstart Zenvo has released promotional footage of the most talked-about performance machine of recent times - the 1,100bhp ST1.
Denmark's first hypercar company correctly decided that the path to petrolhead success lay only in going straight for the big dawg Bugatti Veyron.
And with balls bigger than the big Bug, the Zenvo is our kind of machine. It's Star Wars Stormtrooper-helmet body houses a 7.0-litre supercharged/turbocharged V8, the 0-62mph dash takes three seconds and the top speed is limited to 233mph. Limited!
The 1,100bhp ST1 weighs just 1,376kg, giving it a monster power-to-weight ratio of 802 per tonne. The Veyron manages 446hp.
Of course, the Veyron is engineered to be able to launch into outer space and penetrate Uranus, but the Zenvo's quality is remarkable for such a low-volume carmaker.
So behold - press the magic button and witness Stiggy's new best friend...

it looks better than the veyron, but how come, this has a 7 litre V8, with a supercharger & a turbocharger, and the Veyron has a 8 litre W16 with 4 turbos, yet the Zenvo has 99 more BHP than the Bugatti?

I was actually expecting this video to be more exciting, it doesnt do the car justice. Anyway the car is AMAZING!! I am more than ready to go down on my knees and beg for one.

Look at it. Look at it again. This is what all cars should look like. And dishwashers. All things.
