Forza Horizon 4: Operation Cannibal

The first Danish hypercar, the Zenvo ST1, burnt our hearts and minds with its monstrous twin-charged 6.8L V8 engine and the Veyron-esque performance that really sets this hypercar on fire...literally.



Following the recipe of madness learned from the ST1, the folks from Zenvo have created another Frankenstein monster in the form of this...



At first, it looks the same as the ST1 but it has sprouted a massive rear spoiler and some other extras. They've even gave it a new name; TSR-S.



I've obtained this from the recent Summer Horizon Playlist which involves taking on a brand new Photo Challenge. The pilot challenge is where players take a snapshot of their car at the front of the Horizon Festival stage. Since most of them already did this, they finally got a hold of this Danish cannibal that possess a crazy rear spoiler called the centripetal wing.



But first, what's it all about this car? First unveiled at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, the TSR-S is slotted between the TS1 and the track-only TSR. The signature centripetal wing rotates where the TSR-S corners, creating an inward force together with the conventional downforce for better dynamics. In addition to the signature rear spoiler and improved aerodynamics, it's powered by a twin supercharged 5.8L V8 engine which, in Maximum setting, produces 1,177hp of power and 811ft-lb of torque. With the 7-speed gearbox with helical-cut dog gears, it's capable of going from 0-100kph in 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 325kph, which is less than the TS1.

Only five are made, making the most exclusive exotic every made and clients can spec it with unique graphics that suits their liking.

Having got my first taste of this Danish cannibal with the centripetal wing, the TSR-S really is a rollercoaster ride to mayhem because of its monstrous power that is almost as good as the ST1 and the wing really follows where I corner this beast. It maybe more of a show-off but it's terrifying to see a track monster swinging its rear spoiler while cornering. Still, for a monstrous cannibal, the TSR-S really is a great hypercar that breaks the laws of physics with dynamics that feels like you're driving a race car.



To test this theory, I went near Arthur's Seat and brought the ST1 to spar with in a quick time attack.

Roll the tape.


After a quick lap, here are the results;

ST1 - 1:17.878
TSR-S - 1:10.037



The TSR-S really is the ultimate track toy created by the Danes thanks to its signature centripetal wing, unique aerodynamics, monstrous twin-charged engine, and exclusivity. There's no denying that this may be the first and the last time you'll encounter this cannibal for the rest of your life but once you're in its hot seat, there's no turning back from the monstrous performance it delivers and that is the bottom line.

Enjoy your new ride.
