Ajouté : 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]This is it, the latest version of the best selling two-seater [music] roadster of all time. Happy little engine at the front, two seats in the open air in the middle, rear wheel drive. It's the perfect sports car recipe. You just can't do any better.

[00:00:13]>> Luxury items you're mentioning there, they just add weight and they mean it isn't a true sports car anyway.

[00:00:18]>> Yes, it is. No, it isn't. Colin Chapman, he was the bloke who founded Lotus. He said the ethos of a sports car is simplify and add light. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what it's actually about.

[00:00:28]This is called the Zenos. You get four wheels, you get somewhere to sit, you get an engine and that's it. It's a sports car.

[00:00:34]>> Let me tell you a little bit about this remarkable car. It's powered by the 2 L turbocharged engine from the Ford Focus ST giving 250 horsepower. That's mounted in the middle, right behind my head there. Old school six-speed gearbox.

[00:00:47]This car, made with an aluminum spine and composite tub and all the rest of it, weighs less than three quarters of a ton. Makes the noise of some futuristic propulsion system powered by antimatter.
