Zenvo TSR-S has a fully hectic active rear spoiler

The Zenvo TSR-S features a huge, centrally-mounted pivoting rear spoiler that can change its position.

Active aerodynamics are fascinating, but the Zenvo TSR-S takes the notion of flippy flaps and fins that can help you drive faster to a whole new level.

The Zenvo TSR-S features what the company dubs the "Centripetal Wing", a huge, centrally-mounted pivoting rear spoiler that can change its position depending on the angle of the steering and whether the car is accelerating, braking or coasting.

So, if you take a left corner with some speed, the wing will help you cut through the air by tilting itself to the right. So, if you take a left corner with some speed, the wing will help you cut through the air by tilting itself to the right.

So, if you take a left corner with some speed, the wing will help you cut through the air by tilting itself to the right. It also flattens out when you flatten the throttle, and arks up when you get on the anchors.

Going on the numbers, the Zenvo needs as much help turning and stopping as it can get. It runs a twin-supercharged 5.8-litre flat-plane V8 with 878kW of power and 1100Nm. The claimed 0-100km/h speed is only 2.8 seconds, while the 0-200km/h claim is 6.8sec. Speedy. 

Watch the video and let us know if you think the active rear wing of the Zenvo TSR-S is as weird looking as we do.
