The ST1 is powered by a twincharged 7,011 cc (7.0 L; 427.8 cu in) General Motors LS7 V8 engine[2] that generates 1,104 PS (1,089 bhp; 812 kW) at 6,900 rpm and 1,430 N⋅m (1,055 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4,500 rpm.[3] According to The Motor Report, the car set a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of 3.0 seconds, with 0–200 km/h (124 mph) taking 8.9 seconds, and a top speed of 375 km/h (233 mph).[4]
The ST1 is hand made along with the use of a high-performance, five-axis CNC router. It comes equipped with keyless entry, satellite navigation, telescopic steering wheel adjustment, and electrically adjustable leather racing seats.[5]
The car has a list price of €660,000.[6] The price for registering the car in Denmark is around DKK 16 million (€2,143,952) as a result of the country's high registration taxes; however, Zenvo is aiming only at the export markets.[7] Production was limited to 15 cars.[8]

Design
Zenvo claims the ST1 is entirely a result of Danish design by Christian Brandt and Jesper Hermann.[9] The carbon fibre body was made in Germany and many components such as gauges, gas tank, ABS brakes, traction control and airbags come from American or German made cars.[10]
Fires
Top Gear
The British motoring program Top Gear critically panned the Zenvo ST1 after a series of unfortunate accidents while filming a segment for the show, including the car catching fire after a cooling unit failure. Another car from the company eventually finished a complete, timed lap of the (wet) Top Gear Test Track; the resulting time was worse than the time of a BMW M5 that was also on a wet track.[11]
The company responded to Top Gear with a statement published on the Danish website Pro Street.[6]
Copenhagen Historic Grand Prix 2015
A 2010 Zenvo ST1 development car caught fire at the 2015 Copenhagen Historic Grand Prix, forcing the driver to bail out.[12] The car was to provide charity rides to fund programs for the children's program at a Danish hospital.[12] Company representatives stated fuel line problems caused the fire.[13]
