It’s been nearly two years since Zenvo revealed the Aurora, a V-12-powered hybrid hypercar. The Danish automaker showcased two variants, the road-going Tur and the track-focused Agil, and has since then been fine-tuning the design. Ahead of the car’s dynamic debut later this week, the company has revealed the Tur’s final exterior shape.
Zenvo doesn’t mention what’s changed, and to be honest, it looks almost identical to the original with a passing glance, but a closer inspection reveals a few tweaks. It has new rear-end styling, with a much more aggressive diffuser and a relocated license plate bracket. It also appears the rear deck is longer than before, housing a reshaped tailpipe and thicker taillights.

Up front, the changes are even more subtle. The front openings now have mesh coverings, there’s a bit more sheet metal underneath the daytime running lights, and the hood has been reshaped.
While Zenvo is pitching the Aurora Tur as the road-going version, it’s also the most potent of the two, even with both using the same quad-turbocharged 6.6-liter V12 engine. The Tur has three electric motors instead of one, upping the powertrain’s output to 1,850 horsepower and 1,254 pound-feet of torque. Zenvo claims the car will hit 62 miles per hour in 2.3 seconds and reach a 280-mph top speed.
The car will make a public appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this week. When Zenvo announced the car, it said production would not begin until 2026, and it appears the company is on schedule to meet that timeline. Just a few weeks ago, the company announced it would tap Alcon Components to provide the hypercar’s braking system. In April, Zenvo showcased the first example of its V-12 engine built by Mahle.
