Description:

Zenos the car company was started by some of the guys from Lotus and Caterham Cars. They decided it was time to build a better car and started with a blank sheet. The car is designed on an extruded aluminum spine (offers better torsional rigidity than a Lotus Elise). The protective and stiffening tub is made from a carbon fiber composite shell. The body is ingeniously designed with smaller replaceable body panels, allowing easy (less expensive!) repairs and repaints. And of course the car was designed to provide a visceral thrill in a light weight but powerful package.
We are offering the opportunity to own a rare car, the first production line Zenos E10S. This is serial number 003, the first two cars were factory press cars. This car was specially built at the factory in England and imported to the USA for use a demo car as we worked to develop the brand in the Americas. The car had the drive-train installed, and the final assembly and suspension setting by and under the supervision of a trained factory technician, flown over from England.
We have enjoyed our time with the car, but since we are no longer representing Zenos Cars, it does not make sense to have the car sitting in a garage and not being driven. Please see the specifications page for more information on what makes this an amazing car.
The car is amazing to drive. We tested it one hot summer day at Willow Track and the oil temps stayed perfectly even and in the middle the entire day (we have the optional upgraded oil cooler). We also tested the car at a local autocross in San Diego and it performed excellently… setting a near top time of the day when it ran, even on it’s street tires.
Car has approx 3500 miles on the brand new Ford 2.0l Ecoboost drive-train (with 6 speed) with absolutely zero mechanical issues.
The car was painted an optional factory upgraded color, but can also be easily changed using paint or wraps, as the body panels are all easily removable. A factory power upgrade is also available from the dealer.
The car is presently located in San Diego California. In fact, the car has never left California. It is registered for street use by the state of Wyoming and can be registered for street in many states. Please check your state for their requirements. In many states, once a car is registered and has an issue VIN and plate, it can be easily re-registered in your state. But again, please check in your state or maintain the Wyoming registration.
Test drives are available with notice.
This car was highly optioned with all the desirable features. To buy a new Zenos will require a waiting time, engine install time, and shipping/freight/customs…as well as arranging street legality, the total cost would be higher than this car. In fact, the official importer is selling a similar used car (with fewer options) for $69K. The dealer in New York is selling a far less optioned model for almost $70k! If you were to order this car and have it built as this one is, it will be over $75K. This is a rare opportunity to own a very unique car.
