Dubai’s The Elite Cars has launched the ultra-rare $2.8m Zenvo Aurora supercar in the UAE.
With a top speed of 450kmph and inspired by the aurora borealis it is a stunning addition to the supercar scene, but deep-pocketed supercar enthusiasts will need to wait until 2026 to get behind the wheel.
The authorised distributor of Danish-brand Zenvo Automotive across the MENA region introduced the supercar at an exclusive event at Atlantis The Royal located on Palm Jumeirah.

The newest models, the Agil and Tur, will be limited to just 50 pieces of each model. Notably, nearly 50 per cent of the highly-anticipated models have already been booked pre-production.
Mahmoud Imran, Sales and Operations Manager at The Elite Cars, and Chairman of the Board and Chief Commercial Officer of Zenvo, Jens Sverdrup, introduced the eagerly awaited hypercar.
The grand reveal was orchestrated by a synchronised light performance that emulated the aurora borealis.
Renowned for crafting artisan hypercars, Zenvo stands out with the Aurora as its lightest and most innovative model to date, starting at Euros 2.59m ($2.8m/AED11-12m).
It features the most powerful V12 engine ever fitted to a road car, with a 6.6-litre quad-turbocharged V12 engine paired with a lightweight electric motor producing 1,850hp for the Tur and 1,450 hp for the Agil.
Designed by in-house chief designer, Christian Brandt, both models bring Danish artistry and ingenuity to the hypercar market for the first time, inspired by the famous “form follows function” design language.
Utilising Formula 1 technologies and processes, the Aurora is designed with driving pleasure in mind, achieving the 0-100kmph sprint in as little as 2.3 seconds, and to a top speed of 450 kmph.
With both two- and four-wheel-drive drivetrains, it can travel up to 35km on pure electric power.
Both models feature a lightweight chassis design, cleanly channelling the airflow through the structure to aid downforce and stability.
The aerodynamically aggressive Aurora Agil features a stripped-out cabin and rear-wheel drive system as standard, tipping the scales at 1,300kg, with a clear focus on track driving.
While the more classically styled Aurora Tur offers elevated luxury and is a permanent four-wheel-drive, with two additional electric motors on the front wheels providing 200bph each, enhancing speed and stability for road driving.
Tamer Abu Khalaf, co-Founder of The Elite Cars, said: “We are filled with immense pride as we officially unveil the limited-edition Zenvo Aurora in the UAE as the authorised distributor for the brand across the region.
“This partnership between The Elite Cars and Zenvo is a natural synergy, as we both share a deep passion for automotive excellence, a commitment to exceeding expectations and a dedication to providing clientele with the greatest in luxury and performance.
“With the UAE as a global hub of luxury, the Zenvo Aurora represents the pinnacle of artisanal craftsmanship for automotive enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike, offering an unparalleled ownership experience.”
Jens Sverdrup, chairman of the board and Chief Commercial Officer of Zenvo, said: “We are thrilled to be unveiling the Zenvo Aurora for the first time in the UAE market with our partners The Elite Cars.
“The new model is best described as an equilibrium of extremes. We just wanted to build an uncompromised driver’s car, which delivered on every level, but without any one aspect negatively impacting another.
“The outcome has given us two models, which complement each other, deliver true driving pleasure and, almost as a byproduct, offer incredible performance.”
The Zenvo Aurora will be hand-built at the Zenvo headquarters in Præstø, Denmark, with first deliveries expected in 2026.
