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. 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.

Managing Editor - Head of Video
Matt Campbell has been at the forefront of automotive media for more than a decade, working not only on car reviews and news, but also helping manage automotive outputs across print, online, video and audio.
After completing his media degree at Macquarie University, Matt was an intern at a major news organisation as part of the motoring team, where he honed his skills in the online automotive reviews and news space. He did such a good job there they put him on full time, and since then he has worked across different automotive media outlets, before starting with CarsGuide in October 2017.
At CarsGuide Matt has helped shape the video output of the business, while also playing a key role in management behind the scenes, and helping in-market new car buyers make the right choice by continually evolving CarsGuide's comparison reviews. Driving more than 100 cars a year seemed like a dream to Matt when he first started out, but now it's all just part of the job - a job he loves and plans to stay in for a long time to come.
Matt is also an expert in used car values, as he's always on the hunt for a bargain - be it a project beater or a prime example of the breed. He currently owns a 2001 Audi TT quattro and a 2007 Suzuki Jimny JLX.
