Zenvo has finished designing the 280mph Aurora ‘Tur’, and this is how it’ll look

Zenvo Automotive has revealed the final exterior design for its latest project, one that reaches for the stars and will likely leave you seeing plenty of them. Welcome to the 1,850bhp, 280mph Zenvo Aurora ‘Tur’.

The Danish team has signed off on the ‘touring’ Aurora’s exterior design, ahead of a camouflaged prototype Aurora being unleashed upon a poor, unsuspecting Goodwood Festival of Speed later this week.

“The more refined and mature design, revealed with two newly developed colourways on the more classically-styled Tur model, previews the prototype which will feature as part of the Goodwood Festival of Speed dynamic debut on Thursday,” Zenvo told TopGear.com.

Looks... dramatic. The skeletal form employs the Danish philosophy of simplicity: witness the shark nose, that sweeping, scooped bonnet, cavernous flanks, and straightened-off rear. There’s a lot of downforce on offer here too, Zenvo claiming 880kgs at 155mph in the track-focused ‘Agil’ variant.

It plays that classic trick of looking fast even at a standstill. Though… it's really, really fast. There’s an all-new modular 6.6-litre quad-turbo V12 hammered into both versions of the Aurora, but in this Tur, a pair of electric motors on the front axle join the party for the full 1,850bhp and 280mph.

So 0-62mph is done and dusted in a claimed 2.3s, 0-186mph flies past in nine, and 0-248mph takes just 17 of your scariest seconds. But of course, this is the GT car, and so will offer up ‘tactile’ materials, better soundproofing and “a more traditional luxury GT environment”. A scarily fast GT environment.

Thankfully, you won't have to travel to the stars to see one - get yourself down to Goodwood this weekend to see an Aurora up close.
