Zenos Reveals the next Generation E10

Zenos E10

Zenos has unveiled the latest generation of the celebrated E10, delivering a benchmark road and track capable car for true driving enthusiasts, with prices starting from £115,900.

With a raft of enhancements across the car, the 2027 Zenos E10 range provides high-performance and advanced engineering at a time when new, pure-bred sports cars are increasingly rare. Unashamedly petrol powered, the two turbo charged models offer a phenomenally effective power-to-weight ratio.

The headline 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine fitted in the E10 rZ develops 380bhp at 6000rpm (approx.) and 510Nm at 3000-4500rpm (approx.) to offer benchmark performance in its class and around 480bhp per tonne.

The 2.3-litre-cylinder engine fitted in the E10 r2 develops 300bhp at 6000rpm (approx.) and 425Nm at 3500rpm (approx.), which paired with a kerb weight of 790 Kg means a potent power to weight ratio of 380bhp per tonne.

All significant weight is inboard of both front and rear axles, including the new engine and gearbox installation. The fully independent front suspension utilises pushrod and inboard-mounted dampers to reduce drag, as well as lowering un-sprung mass and improving ride and steering response. Both of the turbocharged powertrains include CAN bus control and new induction and chargecooler packages – paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox.

At the rear, conventional coil over dampers mount directly to the extruded aluminium subframe, which holds the engine and gearbox. A limited slip differential maximises traction when cornering at higher speeds, while a revised gear linkage mechanism allows for faster and more precise gear changes.

For this next generation of road and track car Zenos has committed to the use of carbon fibre for both the bodywork and central tub of the 2027 E10. Helping reduce weight and sharpen performance, it elevates the car to a new class of vehicle, with body panels available either painted, in high-gloss visible weave or a number of specific finishes.

At the front of the car the new fully integrated headlight units include running lights, indicators, dipped and main beam functions, while new ducting improves cooling to the front brakes and revised radiator packs separate main engine cooling from the turbo’s intercooler.

Another addition for the 2027 Zenos E10 are the revised side skirts, with winglets trailing the front wheels and preceding the rear wheels – noticeably altering the car’s side profile as well as tuning overall aero performance.

The changes continue in the cabin with aesthetic and ergonomic updates. A new dashboard with latest generation driver display accompanies new, weatherproof switchgear – allowing a race car inspired AIMS PMU system to be employed. Brand new, inhouse developed carbon fibre seats are fitted as standard, along with colour coded trim sections, while the car is available with either a full windscreen and wipers or race wind deflector panel.

The new 2027 Zenos E10 range can be reserved now, and starts at £115,900, and can be delivered as either a road registered or track only vehicle in the UK. The range is available as either right or left hand drive, and as a track only car for overseas markets. Deliveries start from Q2 2027.
