If there’s a problem with track days, that’s it very few people make enough money to be able to enjoy them. If there’s a second problem about race day, however, it’s that the cars you see there are all too common. Accused There are benefits to buying your car from a manufacturer that you can Count on still getting parts for years to come, but why let little things like that stop you from standing out on the track? Where is 2016? Zenos E10 S is currently listed for sell on Cars & Bid come in.
At first glance, you might assume the Zenos E10 is some kind of modified Mazda Miata, but the lack of a front engine might make you think of the Ariel Atom or BAC Mono. Actually, it is none of those things. According to Zenos, the E10 is its own unique mid-engine product.
The special mid-engine track uses a combination of aluminum and carbon fiber for a claimed weight of 1,587 pounds. So while the 250 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque of the Ford turbocharged four-cylinder may not sound very impressive, it’s still enough to launch this cute little mouse. 60 mph in just 4.0 seconds. And that’s without the help of a super-quick-shifting dual-clutch transmission. Instead, you get an old-school six-speed manual transmission sending power to the rear wheels.
If you’ve never seen or even heard of the Zenos E10 S before, you’re not alone. Zenos is a small British sports car company and only about 100 were produced. Since they must be imported into the US as a kit car, you can even register it for street use in your state. The seller can’t make any promises, but depending on where you live, you might even be able to drive your Zenos E10 ARRIVE trace.
Additionally, while we’re sure the price will increase when the auction ends, it’s currently sitting at $15,250 and we wouldn’t be surprised to see it top out in the mid-$30,000 range. Whether or not you’re allowed to drive it on the street (and from a safety perspective, you probably won’t want to), it’s pretty affordable for a race car. Can you even buy a Lotus Elise for under $40,000 these days?
