The Zenvo TSR-S has a trick not many other supercars can match. The new aero package as a whole results in three times the downforce as the Zenvo TS1 GT, partly from the massive rear wing. The so-called 'Centripetal Wing' can not only pivot to change the angle the wing faces the wing, but also the tilt from side to side of the car. As the car goes around a corner, the inside of the car sees the wing lift up, decreasing load transfer to the outside wheel.

By keeping the loading on the inside wheel higher during cornering situations, the Centripetal Wing increases lateral grip, with little sacrifice in overall downforce. The benefits don't stop there. With a high pivot point, the wing acts like an aerodynamic anti-roll bar, preventing excessive body roll. And since it tilts front/back as well, it can act as an air brake, increase downforce, or minimize drag.
