When eight isn't enough.
, successor to the Danish firm's TS line of hypercars, will extract 1,824 hp from its V-12 hybrid powertrain, the company confirmed Tuesday.
In place of the V-8 used in previous Zenvo hypercars, the Aurora will use a new quad-turbocharged 6.6-liter V-12 developed by Zenvo and automotive supplier Mahle. On its own, the engine will make 1,233 hp at 8,000 rpm, Zenvo claims. Redline is 9,800 rpm.The all-aluminum engine will meet U.S. and European emissions regulations, Zenvo claims.
The V-12 will work with a hybrid system that provides an additional 591 hp. Zenvo didn't provide much detail, but said the hybrid system will also enable all-wheel drive for improved drivability. Putting over 1,000 hp through just the rear wheels would be a tall order.The hybrid powertrain will be housed in a new chassis. Unlike Zenvo's previous cars, the Aurora's chassis uses carbon fiber for all components, including subframes.
