Zenos

Zenos Cars was a British sports car manufacturer, founded in 2012 by Ansar Ali and Mark Edwards, both former executives at Caterham Cars. The company was based in Norfolk, England, and aimed to build lightweight, affordable track-focused sports cars.

Its main model, the Zenos E10, was a minimalist open-top two-seater that combined lightweight carbon-composite construction with Ford-sourced engines. Versions included the E10, E10 S, and the more powerful E10 R. The cars were praised for delivering an exciting driving experience at a relatively accessible price point compared to rivals like Lotus or Ariel.

Despite positive reviews, Zenos struggled financially. In 2017, the company entered administration due to funding difficulties, but its assets were later purchased by investors hoping to revive the brand.

Today, Zenos is remembered as a bold but short-lived player in the modern British lightweight sports car tradition.
