The Zenos E10 RZ makes its first public preview, signaling a new era for the British marque. Retaining the core chassis philosophy of the original E10, this model adds extreme power and advanced production techniques.
Exterior and Lightweight Construction
Full carbon fibre body panels define the E10 RZ, reducing kerb weight to just 790 kg. Its aggressive stance, widened track, and hand-laid components create a visually striking, aerodynamic package. The body is available painted, with visible weave, or in bespoke finishes.
Chassis and Suspension Design
The E10 RZ uses a single aluminium extrusion spine combined with a carbon-fibre tub, enhancing torsional rigidity. Pushrod front suspension and coil-over rear setup balance handling and ride comfort, while all major mass sits within the axles to optimize weight distribution.
Engine Specs and Performance
Under the bonnet sits a 1969cc inline-four turbo engine, generating approximately 380bhp at 6000rpm and 510Nm of torque from 3000–4500rpm. Paired with a six-speed manual transmission, the E10 RZ achieves 0–62mph in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of around 150 mph. Its power-to-weight ratio reaches a staggering 500bhp per tonne.
Brakes, Wheels, and Steering
Front 2-piece disc brakes with four-piston calipers and rear discs with two-piston calipers provide precise stopping power. The car rides on 16-inch front and 17-inch rear alloys, fitted with 195/50 R16 and 225/45 R17 tyres. A bespoke rack-and-pinion steering system ensures responsive handling.
Interior and Driver-Centric Features
The cabin emphasizes the driver with bespoke carbon-fibre bucket seats, updated instrumentation, and a fully digital information center. All controls and displays are designed for intuitive operation, complementing the car’s track-focused nature.
Zenos E10 R2 – Complementary Model
Joining the range in mid-2026, the Zenos E10 R2 features a 2.3-litre turbo engine producing roughly 325bhp, maintaining a 400bhp per tonne ratio. Like the RZ, it includes the advanced aluminium and carbon-fibre chassis, full carbon-fibre bodywork, six-speed manual gearbox, and limited-slip differential.
Summary
The Zenos E10 RZ previews the return of a British lightweight sports car icon. With 380bhp, full carbon fibre construction, and razor-sharp handling, it promises an exhilarating track and road experience, setting a benchmark for performance-focused, minimal-weight supercars.
