Zenvo Automotive launches Aurora hypercar with new hybrid V12 engine that reaches 1.850 horsepower, check out the details of this automotive technology.
Zenvo Automotive, a Danish manufacturer still little known in the supercar world, is capturing the attention of the global automotive industry with the launch of the Aurora hypercar, a model that promises to redefine the limits of high-performance engineering. The main highlight of the machine is its new hybrid V12 engine, named Mjølner — a tribute to the hammer of the Norse god Thor.
With impressive 1.850 horsepower, the engine developed by Zenvo represents one of the most powerful engines ever seen in a road car. The unit combines raw power and refined technology to deliver extreme performance with a handcrafted touch.
O V12 engine 6,6-liter engine is equipped with four turbos and advanced technology Mahle Jet Ignition, which allows the set to reach up to 9.800 revolutions per minute (rpm) — a rarity even among today's most extreme hypercars. The combustion engine alone is already responsible for 1.250 horsepower, while the rest of the power comes from integrated electrification.

Aurora's V12 engine has an unprecedented configuration with four turbos and a “hot V” architecture between the cylinders
Visually, V12 engine is as impressive as its numbers. It uses a setup known as “V hot”, in which the turbochargers are positioned between the cylinders, optimizing space and improving thermal efficiency. This compact design, combined with heat protection elements, ensures reliability even under conditions of extreme mechanical stress.
The name Mjølner, inspired by Norse mythology, reinforces the brand’s Scandinavian identity and highlights its intention to combine cultural tradition with technological innovation. According to Zenvo, this engine is the most powerful V12 ever installed in a road-legal car, a feat that challenges established names such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Pagani.
More than just numbers, the brand says that the Aurora was developed to offer an emotional experience to the driver, focusing on the sound of the engine, the immediate response to the accelerator and the direct connection with the machine. Jens Sverdrup, president of Zenvo Automotive, said that the project goes beyond speed and numbers: “It’s about creating something visceral, engaging and unforgettable for whoever is behind the wheel”.
Aurora hypercar bets on structural lightness and usability to combine power with drivability
In addition to the engine, the Aurora hypercar impresses with its overall design. Its chassis is the lightest ever produced by Zenvo Automotive, using materials such as carbon fiber on a large scale to reduce weight and improve mass distribution. This directly contributes to agility, braking and stability at high speeds.
Despite the brutality of the mechanical set, Zenvo claims that the Aurora was designed to be usable on the street — something unusual for vehicles with more than 1.850 horsepower. The brand's proposal is to offer not only a track car, but a hypercar that can also be enjoyed on a daily basis, even if on limited routes.
This combination of usability and extreme performance is one of the greatest challenges in engineering modern automotive market. Zenvo's focus is on serving an exclusive niche of customers looking for the most advanced and exotic products on the automotive market.
Limited production and million-dollar price reinforce the exclusivity of Zenvo Automotive's Aurora hypercar
O Aurora hypercar will not be produced on a large scale. The Zenvo Automotive confirmed that the model will have limited production, reinforcing its exclusive proposal. The estimated price exceeds two million dollars, which positions the car alongside the likes of Bugatti Chiron, Koenigsegg Jesko and Pagani Huayra in terms of cost and prestige.
Each Aurora will be made to order, with the option of personalization to suit the buyer’s taste. This level of customization, combined with the power and distinctive design, should attract collectors and enthusiasts with an appetite for automotive rarities.
Zenvo intends to use the Aurora launch as a platform to gain international prominence and cement its reputation as a manufacturer of extreme engineering. The company has previously launched models, such as the TSR-S, but with much more discreet production and design.
12 horsepower V1.850 engine cements Zenvo as new force in hypercar market
With the launch of the Aurora hypercar, Zenvo enters a new level in automotive industry. The bold V12 engine with 1.850 horsepower, combined with structural lightness and a focus on emotional experience, positions the Danish brand among the great names in high-performance engineering.
The project symbolizes not only a technical breakthrough, but also a cultural shift: a manufacturer outside the traditional industrial axis (Germany, Italy, UK) showing that innovation and ambition can come from anywhere. Aurora is at once a feat of engineering and a statement of intent.
If Zenvo can deliver on its promises, the V12 engine Mjølner could go down in history as a game-changer in the hypercar segment — and Denmark, hitherto absent from the automotive podium, could finally take its place.
Car for an Arab collector or for the CR to put in the display cabinet…
Good article!! Great to know that there is fierce competition among supercars!!!
Why don't they make boxer engines anymore?
Powerful air…were boycotted
