Page 1 of 1 Originally introduced at the 2014 Autosport International show, the Zenos E10 follows the great British tradition of the minimalistic roadster. That is hardly surprising considering that the car was the brainchild of two former Caterham employees; Ansar Ali and Mark Edwards. A year after the car's introduction, it was joined by the more powerful E10 S, and now the even more potent E10 R has been added to the range.
Like its sister cars, the E10 R is built around an aluminium backbone chassis, which is reinforced by the carbon-fibre composite cockpit section. Double wishbones with adjustable dampers are fitted on all four corners. Although fully road legal, the E10 R is intended for track-day use and does not come equipped with luxury items like a windshield. Lighter wheels have been fitted, which has shaved 10 kg from the important unsprung weight.
New for the E10 R is a 2.3-litre version of the Ford-based EcoBoost engine. Mated to a six-speed gearbox, the four-cylinder engine is mounted transversely behind the cockpit. Like the 2.0-litre engine fitted to the E10 S, the R's 'four' is turbocharged, boosting the power to 350 bhp. This helps the lightweight machine launch to 60 mph in around 3 seconds.
Priced at £39,995, the E10 R will be available early in 2016. Page 1 of 1
