Zenvo brought two Aurora Tur validation prototypes to the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed, running July 9-12, marking the production-spec car's global debut ahead of first customer deliveries targeted for the second half of 2027. Unlike the earlier show-floor Aurora concepts, these are the cars Zenvo says are closest to what actually reaches buyers — built to validate the final specification rather than just display it.
The centerpiece is a 6.6-liter quad-turbocharged V12 co-developed with MAHLE Powertrain, code-named Mjølner, which Zenvo describes as the most powerful V12 fitted to a production road car: 1,250 hp on its own, spinning to a 9,800 rpm redline. In Tur specification, a trio of electric motors adds another roughly 600 hp on top of that, for a combined system output of 1,850 hp routed through all four wheels. Zenvo hasn't published weight or acceleration figures for the Tur specifically.
The Aurora line splits into two specifications: the Agil, tuned for the track, and the Tur, the grand-touring variant shown in production form at Goodwood. Zenvo plans to build the run split evenly between the two, with total production capped at 100 units. "Aurora is the car that sets the direction for Zenvo's future," said Jens Sverdrup, the company's executive chairman, in the reveal. "It is beautifully engineered and designed." CEO and CTO Jon Gunner added that the Aurora program has been "an extraordinary programme for the whole team," with development focused on "making every part work harder."
Zenvo hasn't released pricing, but the company has shown up at Goodwood with Aurora prototypes for several years running now, using the hill climb and static displays as a recurring proving ground before full production. With validation prototypes now circulating in near-final form and deliveries targeted for next year, this was the closest look yet at what buyers of the 100-unit run will actually receive.

Tesla Showed a Roadster That Does Kickflips. The FAA Says It Isn't an Aircraft, and Nobody Will Say What It Is.
Nine years after taking deposits on a car promised for 2020, Tesla unveiled a four-trim Roadster that drives upside down, flips in mid-air, and carries about five seconds of compressed nitrogen. Production is now 2028. There is still no price.

Nissan Finally Put a Third Pedal in the Z NISMO. Then It Made Sure Almost Nobody Can Buy One.
420 horsepower, GT-R brakes, seven percent shorter throws, and no price premium over the automatic. Also: a reported allocation of two or three Zs per dealer for the entire model year, and a manual NISMO build share in the single digits.
