Not only did I get to drive the Zenos E10S but I also got to ride as a passenger in the ludicrously fast E10R, the company's flagship which can be yours from £39,995. Powering this featherweight sportscar is a 2.3 litre turbocharged Ford EcoBoost engine which is able to propel the E10R to 60mph in just 3.0 secs - which will certainly give hypercar something to think about - and will continue to a top speed of 155mph.
I met up with the Zenos team at Snetterton race circuit and there were plenty of other cars testing which meant there was a lovely smell of burning rubber in the air. I waited as the guys installed the software in the car which would be able to give the telemetry and so forth, so I wanted round and watched some of the other cars fly by the track.
The time came to step into the E10R which was being driven by a chap called David and once my helmet was on and I strapped in away we went! This model had no windscreen so the wind hits you at full force when you hit speed and really adds to the sensual experience. You are immediately thrown back but once you hit the corners the braking is so hard that feel the G-forces pulling on your neck.
There were times where it felt like my helmet was going to fly off despite being firmly in place! It was great to see what the car could do in the hands of someone who knew how to get the best out of it and it was absolutely thrill. I was in the car for just three laps but even so, the G-forces had put a strain on my neck but that was a small price to pay for such a thrill. I was absolutely buzzing afterwards and it's an experience that will stay in my mind for quite some time.
Thanks again to the Zenos team for providing such great hospitality.
