New Zenvo ST1 Coming to the U.S

Ever heard of Zenvo? If you haven’t yet, you’ll probably will want to. The company is a Dutch supercar manufacturer known for their new ST1 model.

The project started in 2004 and surfaced publicly in 2008. Now a company called Red Sea Distribution in Indiana is making the car available to customers in the United States.

The car was first shown to the public in June 2009 at LeMans. Since then, Zenvo said it has received an “overwhelmingly positive” response to the car.

At a price tag of $1,255,000, we don’t imagine there is going to exactly be a very long line. The car is mid-engined and is powered by a turbocharged AND supercharged 7.0-liter V-8.

The eye popping power output stands at 1,104 horsepower (!) routed through a six-speed manual gearbox. Attention officially granted.

The car makes the run to 60 mph in just 3.0 seconds and 120 in under nine seconds. Zenvo plans to make 15 ST1s per year. A Red Sea Distribution representative had this to say:

“We are very proud to be appointed the official US distributor for ZENVO, as a specialist niche market distributor we offer a service to the exotic dealer that has never been seen in the US before. We look forward to appointing new dealers and giving them the status of new car dealer for the ZENVO brand.”
