Here's The Mad Rear Wing Of The Zenvo TSR-S In Action
The Zenvo TSR-S is one of those numbers cars. We’re talking about 1177bhp at 8500rpm from a 5.8-litre supercharged V8. 0-62mph in 2.8 seconds. 124mph in 6.8 seconds. And an electronically-limited top speed of 202mph.
But it’s difficult to care about any of that. Why? Because we are so utterly and completely distracted by one particular aero piece on this Zenvo.
We are talking - of course - about the Centripetal Wing. It has two rotational axes, meaning it can be used as an air brake, and as a stabiliser in the corners. The idea is it tilts as the car turns, increasing pressure and therefore grip to the inside wheels.
Is it actually making a meaningful difference? We’ve no idea, but it’s awesome to watch it in action!

This is very satistfying for my slight OCD :D
That’s actually super cool. Great to see this company which was once a laughing stock become so damn cool
Or kindling stock
They got themself a lit reputation in the past and some heated reaction for sure. I mean they created a hot reaction on the dunsfold track.
That is something to droll on. Absolutely glorious.
Finally! Something bonkers 😂
Imagine trying to get a good pick of this one going fast around a corner - it’s going to be all wonky
dat wing :D
When looking at the thumbnail I thought somebody had crashed into it 😂
My thumbnail thought was that the article title would be “wing fails at high speed causing giant crash”
I want to see a slalom test wth that
it looks, from this video, like it reacts too slowly.
watch carefully at 0:51
Wut, how did I not notice that when I was there?
this is so disorientating lol
