Zenos Cars announces the E10 R - its fastest, most thrilling model yet

Zenos Cars is introducing the E10 R, its quickest, most exhilarating and most focused car to date.

The E10 R is powered by a Ford-sourced turbocharged 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine, delivering 350bhp and 475Nm of torque. It will do 0-100km/h in three seconds and a top speed of 249km/h. The engine is mated to a standard six-speed transmission. Braking performance has also been uprated, with ventilated discs and uprated four-pot callipers fitted as standard.

Built around the extremely strong yet lightweight Zenos hybrid chassis with a dry weight of just 700kg, the car also incorporates adjustable suspension, allowing track day drivers to tune behaviour to suit track layout and driving style.

The Zenos E10 R will initially be available as an exclusive Drive Edition, with a unique black anodised finish of its aluminium spine, visible from inside the cabin, Satin Black front and rear splitters and side winglets, and Satin Black interior trim. The E10 R Drive Edition also boasts an upgraded interior specification, with six-point harnesses, carbon leather trim and carbon seats all fitted as standard equipment.

Commenting on the new model, Mark Edwards, Founder and Managing Director of Zenos Cars, said, "As the fastest and most focused car we have yet created, the Zenos E10 R is a hugely exciting stage in the development of our company's story. Yet it is also a logical progression, building on the strengths of the E10 and the E10 S to deliver even greater driving thrills."

The Zenos E10 R will make its international debut at the Autosport International 2016 show.
