More About the Aurora Hypercar by Zenvo
As a hypercar, the nameplate Aurora resonates with power and luxury. It is a limited-production car that comes in two variants. The Aurora Tur is a more road-focused car while the Aurora Agil has a more track-focused approach.
As a masterpiece of artisanal craftsmanship inside out, the hypercar utilises F1 technology to deliver a noteworthy performance. However, before taking such a performance-packed car for a spin, be aware of everything about driving fast in Dubai.
Zenvo Aurora Specs and Features in the UAE
Packed with modern car tech, the Aurora by Zenvo is a lightweight yet powerful vehicle. The hypercar comes with a hybrid-electric arrangement. It revs with the power of a 6.6-litre quad-turbocharged V12 engine paired with electric motors. As a result, the Tur produces 1450 hp, whereas the Agil puts out 1850 hp. With this, the Aurora becomes a noteworthy addition to the emerging trend of hybrid cars in the UAE.
Zenvo Aurora Performance
The powerful Zenvo Aurora engine is equipped with the ‘jet ignition’ system. The revolutionary technology is a product of smart engineering, enhancing the car’s sprinting capabilities. Zenvo claims that Aurora can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in mere 2.3 seconds. The car’s lightweight chassis channels the airflow through the structure. This increases the downforce and stability when moving at a high speed.
With its quad-turbocharged V12 engine, the car can reach a top speed of 450 km/h. Powered by 1,380 kW, the Aurora can cruise silently for up to 35 km on pure electric power. The Aurora Agil has a rear-wheel drive, while the Tur has a 4WD system. Moreover, two additional electric motors for the front wheels enhance the overall on-road experience for the Tur.
Aurora Hypercar’s Exterior
The exterior of both Aurora variants, the Agil and Tur, highlights key elements of car aerodynamics. The Aurora nameplate boasts meticulously sculpted contours that complement its exterior profile. Moreover, the Danish hypercar has scissor doors, a type of unique car door design typically installed in performance-oriented vehicles.
The remarkable Zenvo Aurora aerodynamics are enhanced by its aggressive-looking headlamps and sporty taillights. The two-tone body built around the Zenvo ZM1 carbon monocoque chassis is common in both Aurora’s variants. However, the Agil has a wing on the rear end while the Tur does not. This is a noteworthy difference among other subtle exterior differences between both cars.
Aurora’s Interior
With only 100 units to be produced under the nameplate, the limited-run vehicle is truly a work of art. The hand-built hypercar has a modern-looking yet comfortable interior, equipped with high-quality upholstery. The vehicle’s dashboard offers a mix of retro, analogue gauges and easily accessible state-of-the-art infotainment features.
The driving experience is enhanced by a flat-bottom steering wheel that is quite commonly seen on various exotic cars. Besides the Aurora, several other hand-made luxury cars offer unique, limited-run features.
Zenvo Aurora Price
As a hypercar, the Aurora has a hefty price tag starting at around Euros 2.59M, equivalent to AED 11-12M. Moreover, the production of the car will be limited to fifty units for each variant.
