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!

When Theo sees that big wang in action:
I dunno, honestly it looks like Crap…
“WE CANT FIX THE WING, WHAT DO WE DO???”
“Calm down.”
“WHY? WE’LL GET A BAD REPUTATIO-“
“say it’s active aero.”
Watch this was a cringefest every second
Doesn’t the Huayra use something kinda like this, but on the body?
It’s like that so it can flap to blow out the fires.
As an over exaggeration this is what I felt before AND after the video. That wing is INSANE!! I never knew a wing like that could be possible NOW! (But it’s about time someone did it though)
i would think it does help, but a wing that stays in place might work better then this….but im not gonna lie its pretty cool
