Zenvo DOESN'T deserve the bad reputation surrounding it...
First of all, I just want to mention this article on thesupercarkisd.com which reveals the truth behind what happened on the Top Gear episode with the Zenvo ST1, link : http://thesupercarkids.com/zenvo-st1-the-truth-behind-the-top-gear-review/
I just want to remind everyone that there have been countless reports of Ferraris and Lamborghinis catchinhg fire, but they don’t get as much crap as Zenvo simply because it didn’t happen on Top Gear… WHICH SUCKS!
Zenvo Automotive is a great company and the ST1 is most definately a great car………..
…Yet I have even heard people call the Zenvo a “Peice of crap” or “Overpriced garbage”
Calling something that looks so good, sounds so good, and GOES so good a “Peice of crap” or “overpriced garbage” doesn’t make any sense to me.
Just look at it! The exterior design has great attention to detail, and the v8 creates an amazing amount of power. People call it out because there where problems with the clutch when on top gear, they don’t realize that all cars have their limits. There are less people who praise the zenvo for the amazing figures, as it should be, than there are people mocking it for an incident that happened on a TV show.

It has some problems… It burns a lot, when it is raced…
its not that pretty, i mean it takes work to make carbon fibre look like plastic and they did the work, also it had at least 2 other catching fire incident that i heard of (saw on video), and the interior as well is just ok. im not saying its a piece of crap, but when 3 cars out of the 5 you made catch fire percentage wise if 500 ferraris caught fire today, zenvo would still be worse off
It’s slower than a German saloon car.
I think what needs to be remembered is that the Zenzo tested is a press car and so is the one in the comments on youtube. I’m not saying that its ok for that to be happening. But the tough life that a press car has to endurance is overwhelming and often underestimated. Also remember this is basically Zenvo’s first car. So it cannot be compared to Ferrari which has had decades to perfect their cars. Zenvo could be viewed like Mclaren post-2010. They only had the Mclaren MP4-12C which wasn’t perfect in anyway, but was still good. A few years on (present) and they stopped making this car and produced cars that are a step ahead in terms of all things supercars such as the 540c, 570gt, 570s, 625c, 650s, 675lt, P1 and the P1 GTR. Hopefully Zenvo can make some even better cars soon enough
What about the inadequate chassis, poor handling and power delivery?
Exactly, it has almost everything I look for in a hypercar!
