Zenos E10 S: The Other RWD EcoBoost
There will be more than just the Ford Mustang coming to the U.S. with the turbocharged-EcoBoost-and-RWD action. The Zenos E10 S will be coming over as well with the EcoBoost 2.0L. It also features the two things that made Colin Chapman legendary: lightness and a spartan cabin.
Zenos is a company started by two former Lotus and Caterham executives: Ansar Ali and Mark Edwards. Their idea was to make a track-focused car that was light and affordable. This E10 S, with its EcoBoost power, will limbo under 2000 lbs. and pack 250 horsepower, making it good for a top speed of around 135 mph and a zero-to-sixty time of 4.5 seconds. You can be sure it’s going to rival the Arial Atom here in the U.S. as it will sell for just under $50,000. An optional Track Pack will add $5,000. The package includes:
• Dry sump
• Bigger master cylinder
• Battery cut-off switch
• Plumbed-in fire extinguisher
• Race cage
• Sports exhaust
• Catalytic converter-delete
• Repackable silencer
• Rear anti-roll bar
• Adjustable platform dampers
• Uprated springs and dampers
• Windscreen with wipers
• ‘Get home’ weather hood
