Hardcore Brit roadster revived with way more power and far higher price

“Body control is great and it steers terrifically well. The good thing is how coherent it all feels”
Zenos is back. I know it’s possible that you don’t remember it from the first time, so, to recap, this two-seat lightweight roadster, the E10, was the brainchild of some engineers who had worked at Lotus and Caterham and was introduced to us in 2014.
It was deliberately built down to a price – £24,995 – because the founders thought there were too many sports cars that were designed to be perfect so ended up so expensive that they only had one customer: the company’s founder.
Owing to its price and being nice to drive, the E10 was reasonably popular (I think more than 100 were made), but it was too cheap, and so in 2017 Zenos went into administration, from which its assets were acquired by AC Cars.
