The front bumper section isn't to my liking but it looks like the real deal. Nice competitor to the X-bow and the others.

Nice to see them make it a year.

Aesthetically, it looks as though construction started at each end of the car without the door having yet been installed. It also looks a bit like the Lotus trackday car; they might have at least used a different color scheme for the intial prototype.

Much more influenced by the Caterham AeroSeven concept though:

Edit: Whoops, posted a pic of the Zenos in the same color, didn't look closely enough...shows you how similar they are! Google Image Search couldn't tell the difference

That's not the AeroSeven. This is.

I've been following this car on and off via EVO magazine. IIRC, it was something else before it was Zenos, no?

I have been following it for the last year and Zenos is all I have seen.

I believe these are now available for sale in the U.S. They had a display last year at PRI, and I believe they were at SEMA as well.

It looks like a well thought-out, cool package for a track toy.

Just checked, I was thinking of the Farboud GTS which became the Farbio GTS. No, wait, now it's the Ginetta G400.
