Well, actually, it&#8217;s a supercar. Designed and 100% built in Denmark. (You know, when I think supercars, I think Denmark.) Supposedly it goes 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 233 mph. That would put it 7th fastest on <a title=\"Supercar.org\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thesupercars.org\/fastest-cars\/fastest-cars-in-the-world-top-10-list\/\">Supercars.org&#8217;s top ten list<\/a>. And it&#8217;s from Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>The exclusive part? They&#8217;re only building 15. That makes the Bugatti Veyron owners club (all 300 of them) look like Denny&#8217;s on free Grand Slam breakfast day: a packed house.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2008\/12\/18\/zenvo.jpg?resize=281%2C199\" alt=\"\" width=\"281\" height=\"199\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, they&#8217;re not trying to knock the Veyron off the top of the fastest cars list. The company claims its goal is to build a supercar that you can drive every day. It has three different driving modes:\u00a0normal, sport and race.\u00a0You get either 650bhp, 850bhp or 1104bhp depending on your mood and courage.<\/p>\n<p>But is it worth $1.8 million? I guess you&#8217;ll have to ask the guy who ends up number 16 on the list. Will it be deep regrets, or great relief when he doesn&#8217;t get one?<\/p>\n<p>By the way, the name Zenvo came from combining the names of the two people who started the company: Jesper Jensen and Troels Vollertsen. I can only assume that Zs and Js are the same thing in Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, the car is on a tour of the US this month. I guess\u00a0their failure to show up at my house has something to do with a lost address&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Zenvo Video\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4mTDCTcVNjs\">Check out video of the car.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Zenvo Road test\" href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblackcar.com\/cars\/zenvo\/the-new-zenvo-st1-2011-car-review.html\">Read a full road test of the Zenvo.<\/a><\/p>\n<fb:like href='https:\/\/carcentrick.com\/?p=66' send='true' layout='standard' show_faces='true' width='450' height='65' action='like' colorscheme='light' font='lucida grande'><\/fb:like><span class=\"fb_share\"><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/carcentrick.com\/?p=66\" layout=\"box_count\"><\/fb:like><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Got a spare $1.8 million laying around?
