RE: Zenos E10: Driven
Discussion
Pistonheads seems to have attracted some angry haters this year, it is as if someone has insulted them?
Fair play to zenos, this country used to be full of car manufacturers and I applaud anyone trying to produce a new product. I bought a TVR Cerbera new for cheap style and performance, this will help fill the gap that TVR left when they got too expensive.
This is cheap fun
Good Luck Zenos

It looks bloody awful, yet another sh*te flat panel, ikea shaped, not good enough to be a kit car exterior which will nail the coffin shut on another promising car, it makes me sick frankly to see so little effort put into the appearance.
If you want a really stupid looking car you can by an KTEM Xbow- thats been done, please for the love of your chosen deity lets move on?
It is possible to design good looking exteriors for low volume cars (TVR Cerbera, Caterham 21 etc) but it means you have to put the ruler down and hire a designer, something egg-heads are loath to do.
It sounds like it goes wonderfully but given that it looks so eye-gougingly bad I wouldn't even bother driving one- Zenos, man up and get someone who can draw on board ASAP.
I couldn't disagree more, I think it looks great!It looks bloody awful, yet another sh*te flat panel, ikea shaped, not good enough to be a kit car exterior which will nail the coffin shut on another promising car, it makes me sick frankly to see so little effort put into the appearance.

Really fancy one of these.

Having been in an Elise, as a LWB Transit made a good attempt at occupying the same bit of road space as us via my door i, personally, wouldn't drive this car (or a Caterham for that matter) on the road. Yes, you are "snug" with your passenger in an Elise due to the wide sills, but i'd rather rub legs and shoulders with my passenger than get bear hugged by an amorous transit van.........Cheers,

Not generally a fan of modern styling, but I do like the Zenos, yes the screen looks a little like an afterthought - that's because it's an afterthought. By which I mean the car has been designed screenless, but you can sit behind glass in the winter or leave it in the garage in the summer. Or drive to the track in the rain with a screen & roof, then lose them for the session - now THAT's a USP. My Fury has a heavily curved upright(ish) heated screen with wipers & in spite of having no heater I've driven it at -2c & in driving rain with the hood on but no side screens, so I have no doubt that it'll be perfectly possible a Zenos like that if you've a mind to.
I wish them every success, & while I'm too poor to be on the waiting list (& have a Fury) I do know someone who is, so there must be quite a few now.

lots of neg on the look but does it work...aerodynamically...there are some slippery looking cars of this attempted ilk out there that in reality have the aero of an club hammer and some that look like they were constructed by a scaffolder which have even less....so what is this....does it stick.....does it fly
what is the drag coefficient?....does it have an undertray.....should it have down force ......does it work
