Zenvo Automotive is charging ahead with its groundbreaking Aurora hypercar programme, setting the stage for what promises to be an exhilarating 2025. As the project gathers momentum, the company is significantly expanding its engineering capabilities and fine-tuning key components that will push the boundaries of performance and design.
The engineering team, now led by Jon Gunner as Chief Technical Officer, has grown with the addition of several seasoned professionals. This includes Jorge Uhalte-Nogués, formerly of Bentley and McLaren, taking on the role of Homologation Director, and Javier Castane, formerly of Aston Martin and JLR, stepping in as Chief Engineer. These key hires signal Zenvo’s ambition to take the Aurora programme to new s, with the team already spread across two offices, in Denmark and Sweden. Their efforts are focused on the design, powertrain development, and dynamic testing of the Aurora’s two models, the Agil and Tur, setting the stage for a thrilling debut in 2025.
As the project gains momentum, Zenvo continues to refine its approach to both aesthetics and performance. Chief Designer Christian Brandt explains that the vision behind the Aurora has remained clear since day one: to create a visually striking and dynamically engaging vehicle. The evolution of the Aurora’s design ensures that the final product will stay true to Zenvo’s Danish heritage while incorporating cutting-edge technology that delivers unmatched driver engagement.
A Revolutionary Engine Powers the Aurora Forward
One of the most anticipated milestones for Zenvo in 2025 is the debut of the bespoke Mjølner V12 engine, being developed in collaboration with MAHLE Powertrain. This 6.6-litre, quad-turbocharged V12 engine promises to be the most powerful and technologically advanced of its kind, designed to deliver an unparalleled driving experience. The first start-up of this bespoke powerplant is scheduled for early 2025, and real-world testing will follow immediately after. This is just the beginning as the Aurora project gears up for a dynamic debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
A Global Rollout and Busy Calendar for 2025
Zenvo has already planned a packed 2025 calendar for the Aurora programme, with significant global unveilings and public activities set to take place. After the dynamic debut at Goodwood, the Aurora will make appearances at prestigious automotive events across Europe, the UK, and the United States, including a return to Monterey Car Week. The company’s commitment to excellence and their passion for creating a hypercar that stands out in every aspect is clear.
Zenvo’s Chairman and Chief Commercial Officer, Jens Sverdrup, reflects on the past year of growth and says, “2025 is gearing up to continue at great pace. We are committed to delivering the bold project that we initially set out to build, working with the best in terms of in-house talent and carefully selected technical partners.”
