The concept of a lightweight car with a small engine and small amounts of power is a good one, but there does come a time when you want more power. That’s where the Zenos E10 R comes in, we previously wrote about the Zenos E10 S, which is a more powerful version of the standard E10. All of these cars are track focused with minimal to no real comfort for the driver and passenger.
The E10 R continues with the concept of the E10 and E10 S and gives it a massive bump in power. The base and S model were powered by 2.0 liter Ford engines, producing 200 and 250 horsepower respectively. The E10 R’s turbocharged 2.0 liter EcoBoost engine has been tuned to produce 350 horsepower, sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission. The entire package has a dry weight of 1,550 pounds, which helps it reach the 60 mph mark in just 3.0 seconds, on the way to a top speed of 155 mph. The British company also upgraded the brakes and suspension to cope with the added power and speed.
The Zenos E10 R is priced at £39,995 in Britain, which includes a 20% VAT, the price converts to about $60,000 US. The R is £10,000 more expensive than the S and £15,000 more expensive than the base E10.
