I think the accepted definition is that if you have to question whether something is a hypercar or not, it isn’t.

By all accounts they only make 5 cars a year, so they must be short of orders

you are forgetting they are dealing with a VIP even rolled out the union jack for him, when you get a heavy hitter like Shmee you move him to the front of the que...

But it will definitely be auto.

Hi everyone,

Enough about the Zenvo and other interesting car channels. Can we get back to Puppi please?

I'm so worried about her and Tim, I hoped they'd get married. I watched them for hours together at Goodwood and they seemed so well suited, I've got loads of pictures to look through but it's not the same as seeing them on video.

I'll refresh her Insta again just in case she's uploaded another amazing picture in front of a flashy car holding a designer handbag.

Is the rear wing on that Zenvo for real?

I think the fact that McLaren call it a Hypercar trumps anything else. IMO.

YT revenues are well down yet he is accelerating his purchases not only in frequency but also in price.

Twice now you have mentioned YT revenues are down, can you substantiate that with figures?

Sure, first of all anecdotally, both Tim and Sam (STG) have said as much on podcasts recently. Sam on his very latest one this week.

Also, his views (And therefore revenue) are trending overall down in the last few years:





Per my other comment, this goes totally against the purchase of all the ever more expensive cars.

One final point... Sam (STG) on his podcast has recently said that YT revenue only makes up 30% of his overall revenue. The rest is brand deals / promotions etc.. I can only imagine Tim is the same.

Sam is pretty well diversified for a "youtuber", I'm sure his podcast earns more than YT now and he does a bit of presenting work / big brand deals.

That graph is drawing a worrying trend.

If Zenvo are around in 2 to 3 years time I'll be very surprised.

Hi japsveesix, I am so glad you said this, I feel the same. I really miss seeing her as its been a whole few weeks now and I am struggling to sleep at night. I hoped for shmwedding with lots of hypercard and to see pics of her in a nice dress. It's just like a tv show isn't it where a key character disappears

So sad. Praying for good news for them. They were so good together.

So so strange this is almost like reverse White knighting… look how core we are yet we want to discuss peoples car who we have never met…

I have always understood that a hypercar is over a million to buy, Senna is still only a supercar at the end of the day

That doesn't really make much sense to me, by that logic the 918 shouldn't be considered a hypercar in the US because you can get one for less than $1M but 918 in the UK is a hypercar because it's over $1M???

I’m pretty sure the above is sarcastic, mate

Hardly obsessed… no different to a character disappearing from a tv show and people talking about it. Especially as it was pretty instant.

Not sure i get your point? Its ok to be curious.

The Zenvo seems to be the cheapest way into a Hypercar from what I have found looking about the internet.

I think that the Zenvo is more like an old school car, it's more mechanical and more raw, I suppose it is like the Noble M600 that Richard Hammond had in Italy, where he said he had learned more about driving in the M600 than in all the years of driving other cars.

I still wouldn't have gone for the TSRS If I were to get a Zenvo it would be the TS1 GT.

I would think that they would still be around then, but for how long, I don't know, don't forget people said the same thing about Pagani, Koenigsegg, Spania GTA, Hennessey and W Motors ok the latter few are in the same space as Zenvo, but Pagani and Koenigsegg won't be going anywhere.

It is a good think that there is the likes of Zenvo and Spania GTA, Hennessey and W Motors about though and the automotive world benefits from having them.
