World's most powerful V12 engine uses jet ignition to lower emissions
Remember the Mjølner? Not the mythical hammer of thunder from whence the name originated, but the equally earth-shaking V12 engine under development by Danish hypercar marque Zenvo. Welp, rip that "under development" tag clean off, as the first unit of the world's most powerful road-going V12…
The days of turning a blind eye to absolutely humiliating single-digit supercar fuel economies and dismal emissions figures while hyper-focusing on stupid levels of power and speed seem to be behind us, and we don't anticipate they'll be coming back. But it's actually been locked deep in the workshop, developing an all-new hypercar called the Aurora that touts a hint of modern environmental sensibilities with next-gen levels of stupid power and speed. The track-focused Agil will lose one of those motors as it strips down for lighter, nimbler acrobatics around the twists and corners while still breathing a full 1,450 hp during maxed-out straightaway runs, a 200-hp bump over V12 alone that comes courtesy of a single rear-integrated e-machine.
