Zenvo Automotive is a Danish supercar manufacturer located in Præstø on the Danish island of Zealand. It was founded by Troels Vollertsen, and the name 'Zenvo' is derived from a combination of the first 2 and last 3 letters in his last name.
The Zenvo ST1 is a high performance supercar manufactured by the Danish company. It is the company's first model, and is manufactured almost entirely by the hands of a small team of workers, with the exception of a CNC router. The first prototype of what became the Zenvo ST1 was completed in December 2008 and production began in 2009.
With the kind of persistence one needs to be successful in the ultra-competitive world of supercars, Zenvo has continued to refine its ST1 and at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show unveiled an updated version.
The most significant update is a new sequential transmission that replaces the previous manual. The new transmission, sourced from Italy’s CIMA, features seven forward gears and a single clutch. Gear shifts are said to take place in as little as 35 milliseconds, making this one of the fastest shifting, single clutch transmissions in the world.
Other updates for the ST1 include new wheel patterns, more luxurious items in the cabin, and some additional options.
The car’s powerplant is an in-house developed 6.8-liter V-8 that benefits from both supercharging and turbocharging. The engine delivers a peak 1,104 horsepower and 1,054 pound-feet of torque, and drives the rear wheels only.
The body of the ST1 is all carbon fiber, and is wrapped around a hybrid structure comprised of high-strength steel for the central monocoque and aluminum for the front and rear subframes.
Another small change from the original car is the headlights of the cars, compare them here.

If too many of you think a thread for the 2015 version is unnecessary, then I will change the car in the OP to another one and make a car post at the Concept ST1 thread, no problem.
