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!

I have never seen anything like it
Stop the wing,fix it
I have my doubts that this aero device would be effective on a GT car in most any corner. The weight required to achieve the wing actuation probably slows the car more in the straights more than it can gain in the corners.
Looks dumb as hell, but if it works, it works.
First, nice concept…
Second, slow wing movement, compared to Huayra, LaFerrari or P1 active Aero
Third, if this actually made laptime gains, I would imagine the actual gain number would also be used as a marketing wizword, but seems like it’s just a cool gimmick.
At first I thought the wing was falling of XD
Is it possible to learn this power?
who else only watched the video for the other cars
i was there during the event and at first all of us thought the car had an accident, and then we just laughed at it because it looks silly and probably has no real life effect (especially because the guys that can afford these are probably not racing drivers who’ll even get close to the limit)
