Let’s face it Mr C and his band of merry Top Gear (oops, I mean Grand Tour) presenters have already claimed to be the frst to drive the Holly Trinity just 18 months after we did it at Paddock Life, twice, so maybe there’s a bit more show biz smoke than actual fames fanning this story.The most interesting thing from my chat with Mr Google was that Zenvo is made in Denmark, Praesto to be precise, unusual for a super car, or indeed anything that’s not fat pack furniture or Lego.
