Zenvo ST1

Danish company Zenvo Automotive has revealed its first hand-built creation, the ST1 supercar. Powered by a V8 engine - fitted with both a supercharger and turbo - producing 1104bhp and 1430Nm of torque, the ST1 measures 4665mm long, 2041mm wide, 1198mm tall, and has a wheelbase of 3055mm. It weighs in at 1376kg, thanks to a light steel frame structure clad with carbonfiber body panels.

Claimed to be the first Danish-designed supercar, the ST1's sharp aesthetic features a jagged shoulder and pronounced feature line leading to the rear air intake. Its aggressive DRG includes honeycomb inserts around the three-piece headlamps, grille aperture and fog lamps, as well as around the rear diffuser. This graphic is also repeated around the taillamps.

Inside, the ST1 features seating surfaces trimmed in leather and Alcantara and instruments with a head-up display and a G-force meter. Interior headroom is 1002mm, front seat legroom at 1104mm, and shoulder room at 1398mm. Options include a custom-colored leather interior and fitted luggage set.

Having spent the last four years developing the prototype, the company will build only 15 examples of the car, which will be sold to specially approved customers starting this year.

Chevrolet Equinox

GM has released photos of the next generation Chevrolet Equinox, which will make its debut at the NAIAS next week. Scheduled to hit showrooms in May, the new Equinox will use the updated Theta platform, which also underpins the GMC Terrain.

The revised exterior design displays a solid stance and sturdy profile, with robust wheelarches anchoring the vehicle's large surface volumes. At the front, the face is defined by the definitive single-bar Chevrolet grille, with the headlamp graphic boundaries reminiscent of the Opel Antara.

Interior renderings show a simple and clean design, with detailing that appears sporty and futuristic. The array of options will include a Bluetooth application, USB ports, and a DVD navigation system.

Two engine choices will be offered: a 2.4-liter four-cylinder generating 180hp (which will power the standard model) and a 3.0-liter 255hp V6.
