I dont get all the hate that the Zenos gets. Personally i love it. Like James May said on The Grand Tour, "It makes the noise of some futuristic propulsion system, powered by anti-matter!". When the car has 270hp but it weighs less than 3 quarters of a ton, then it's pretty quick. The only downside I have with it is it has no air conditioning, and the seats are very uncomfortable.
This thing is cool. It seems to offer a similar experience as an Ariel Atom yet costs much cheaper. Also, that turbo and bov sound delicious. Nice video.
Mate, love the videos very much and very much like the 675LT video, nice colour (not for me, I'd go for another colour, a creamy white) it's an experience I'll never have so great to see it. One thing, I think you should have a word with Chris Harris or someone who can teach you to drive like the cars you have the opportunity deserve, just a few pointers here and there and then get a Ginetta or something like that and do some racing and do videos of that too! Thanks for the vids!
You clearly don't understand he's driving on the public road. So he can't drive very hard and risk other people's lives. He's steering technic is just fine and it's not like he's hurting the clutch so your comment makes no sense at all.
Hey Shmee, I was watching some of your older videos such as «A Shmee In Paris» among others during the weekend and I'm wondering about what happened to the character «Shmeester» afterwards ?Anyway, I've been watching your videos daily since like the beginning of this year, I really like how you share your experiences with people on RUclips. Keep it up ! ;)Cheers from Mauritius. :)
+todd lithgow yea, the minimalist interior is not a bad thing, but the panel gaps on things were bad and the rubber on the wipers and turn indicators looked like it was recycled from a junkyard
+Janusha the only people that would be complaining about the fit and finish of the interior of a car like this would be pretentious fuckboys that buy it hoping people would finger themselves over the cars meer presence.. and to be honest you sound like said fuckboy
Hahaha, the car is nice but it is even cooler to see you drive on the Lekdijk International Speedway.... uuuuhh.. I mean Lekdijk :-P We use that road to let our cars out pretty often, and it is a great road for some test drives.
founder of caterham.. no i dont think so, an engineer from caterham and lotus... Shame they wont now make them in the UK..... we should be able to do such things.
The front looks like the new MX-5's, the rear looks like the Ford GT's, and the interior looks like that Go Kart's, with a couple cardboard boxes attached to it. And it makes the same noise my ex did when she was sucking the life out of me.
Only thing I don't like is the gear knob. They should have given it a new one instead of just using the Ford one! :) Otherwise I think it's a wonderful car. Looks like great fun to drive!
so I heard a little turbo lag but not much. personal opinion I don't think (if I owned it) it would be a every day car. that turbo sound I like the turbo sound I really do but I don't think some people would like it is the US and definitely not the police. but for fun it would be a cool car.
I really can't stand that turbo noise, its not as involving or as thrilling as other cars like the lotus, there are plenty of good sounding turbo cars but this one just has that annoying whine which just gets in the way in my opinion, kinda like the Aerial atom supercharged
No car should have poor build quality no matter the price or focus why not build it right. Plus i don't understand having uncomfortable seats or no air you need air and comfortable seats always
6500RPM redline in a 2.0L 4cyl???? That is a bit disappointing. Could have thrown a k20 Honda motor with a turbo and make it rev to 8500RPM all day. I mean regardless of power, I would like a high revving motor for a track car like that.
Ali wasn't the founder of Caterham Cars, he was the ex-MD. UK prices start at just under £25k inc taxes, not almost £30k. Build quality looks kit-car. No mesh covering the intercooler core from stones. Driving position looks too close to the steering wheel. Engine / turbo sounds naff, long throws on the gear change... Spec one up & you could easily be in the £35-40k zone. ... Lotus must be sniggering. The original 1996 Elise was better than this & available from £8k for a nice used one. A new Elise Cup 220 would be similar money spec'd-up and is a better, more usable car.
45k I'm sold Ok BUT that key is UGLY. I have the exact key for my fog lights lol Ok I need better brakes and I probably need windows and air bc the interior would get foggy. This cars exterior is beautiful but man, i would rather just buy an RS for the money
eh looks boring as hell, idk why small private companies keep making these type of cars, not what the world needs, not profitable, not worth anybody's time or money.
Very good review. I have another Orange E10S in the USA (I import them into the USA market) and I think you did a very good review.
Where can I buy one here in the US?

Pretty cool little car, interesting competitor to the Xbow and atom!
This thing is cool. It seems to offer a similar experience as an Ariel Atom yet costs much cheaper. Also, that turbo and bov sound delicious. Nice video.
Saw one of these at a track day yesterday and had no idea what it was!
Sounded poor though :/ was very fast though !
the sounded like a turbo supra.
I see a lot of cars in this one, z4 roadster, bac mono, bmw i8 spyder, miata and a little bit of honda s2000 :)
Man I'm in love with this thing!
TD94S I sat in one recently, they're actually super comfy! They are a cool car, I agree completely
That turbo though
Tim what's your favorite ice cream flavor
+Daniel Ward Obviously Cerulean Blueberry!
+xtravisxmanx shmee blue. only available in shmeeicecreamvan and is limited to an year
only available at m.d.o (mclaren desert operation)
why the horn is position there?
why sometimes he says bhp, other hp and in other videos ps?

Those column stocks tho... Straight out of a 90s Opel/Vauxhall. I suppose it makes sense because they are dirt chap parts and work just fine.

That car looks really great in real life (i live close to van der kooi sportscars) but i prefer it in grey with Carbon fiber seats
Ford focus gear knob?
What did they not pilfer from Ford?
You heard the blow off valve go off and you said wastegate.. it doesn't make such a noise ...
Check out the rezvani beast ... An incredible little car
the interior fit and finish looks horrendous
it's a driving focused car
+JackSwatman yes the interior build quality looks horrible for its price
***** this car weighs 640kg.With nice trim 670kg
+todd lithgow yea, the minimalist interior is not a bad thing, but the panel gaps on things were bad and the rubber on the wipers and turn indicators looked like it was recycled from a junkyard

Correction... Zenos was not created by the founder of Caterham, it was created by someone who was a director at Caterham.

What's the topspeed?
The 4 cylinder sound rather agricultural. I would like to hear more race'y sound from such a track focused car.
It's the same motor as the Ford Escape. Not meant to have a very race-y sound.
Maybe a V6
The front looks like the new MX-5's, the rear looks like the Ford GT's, and the interior looks like that Go Kart's, with a couple cardboard boxes attached to it. And it makes the same noise my ex did when she was sucking the life out of me.
Think i have the same key fob on my garage door
NOT a fan of that whiny turbo noise! 👎🏽
it sounds amazing?
Not a fan of whiny people who think the best sounds of a powerful car are poor
You said no abs yet you need it in the uk after a certain year it was made illegal not to have it from a new car!
ThatGuyNamedScott. C Not for low volume cars like this - theres an exemption
Only thing I don't like is the gear knob. They should have given it a new one instead of just using the Ford one! :)
Otherwise I think it's a wonderful car. Looks like great fun to drive!
12:17 - 12:20 hahaha I funny when shmee has this kind of reactions.
The front looks a tiny bit like an ND MX5
so I heard a little turbo lag but not much. personal opinion I don't think (if I owned it) it would be a every day car. that turbo sound I like the turbo sound I really do but I don't think some people would like it is the US and definitely not the police. but for fun it would be a cool car.
looks like when ppl test fit over fenders before they paint it.
Nice little car!
Nice car. The engine sound reminds me of a semi-truck a little lol. But overall it's a cool car
reupload?
Company has been out of bus for quite awhile
cool ride!
It sounds really good for a 2.0L ! :O
Nah this is the 2.3l ford unit
@@MrJockeyHD the E10R has the 2.3 liter engine, but the E10S has the 2.0 liter ecoboost
Tim Riggs 3 years its been
Wow the key is such an old design
Buy an mx5 with bbr kit turbo or supercharger or all motor and have more daily driveability and track performance.
I really can't stand that turbo noise, its not as involving or as thrilling as other cars like the lotus, there are plenty of good sounding turbo cars but this one just has that annoying whine which just gets in the way in my opinion, kinda like the Aerial atom supercharged
Swear you done this few months ago
The gearbox comes from Ford
And the engine
THE RANDOM MAN IS BACK! xD
No car should have poor build quality no matter the price or focus why not build it right. Plus i don't understand having uncomfortable seats or no air you need air and comfortable seats always

it keeps whistling
It's called a turbo and blow-off Valve you dum dum
Ali wasn't the founder of Caterham Cars, he was the ex-MD.
UK prices start at just under £25k inc taxes, not almost £30k.
Build quality looks kit-car. No mesh covering the intercooler core from stones. Driving position looks too close to the steering wheel. Engine / turbo sounds naff, long throws on the gear change... Spec one up & you could easily be in the £35-40k zone.

Need to change those indicator stocks ew
"I've been told the engine engine is hard to get to" what the heck is that about? Doing a car review and they can't pop the hood for you?
The problem with is car is the brakes!
amazing car not much but it's definitely something and no door? bummer
nice car
The front looks like the new miata
Back looks like a GT
What?? How?
SAID O. Yeah I know what car he is talking about. The rear looks nothing like the Ford GT in the slightest! Is it because it has 2 tail lights?
SAID O. so then the Ford GT looks like the F12 Berlinetta
bring back noah
wrong channel dude
Jag tycker om Snopp
You went from Britain to the Netherlands for a British car? LOL!!!CancelPost
Praticamente non ha la chiave tradizionale; Scadente.
oo nice car
45k I'm sold
Ok BUT that key is UGLY. I have the exact key for my fog lights lol
Ok I need better brakes and I probably need windows and air bc the interior would get foggy.
This cars exterior is beautiful but man, i would rather just buy an RS for the money
The company has been out of business for along time years actually
No doors like seriously lol
a drivers-car like this should have no interior at all. Existing interior is extremely ugly and pointless. Lousy sound too
terrible styling, poor interior, sounds horrendous and €64000 ! - why would you ? looks like it's around €50000 overpriced.
eh looks boring as hell, idk why small private companies keep making these type of cars, not what the world needs, not profitable, not worth anybody's time or money.
they make it for the hell of it. not for profit. it is purely just for passion. for the joy of it.
$45,000......
+dpqbpqb dpqbpqb really? oh my god, makes a cheap impression
+dpqbpqb dpqbpqb rather have a focus st for 20k less...
I can't help watching the mouths of people with lisps.
cld
The interior looks really boring it looks like a made in china plastic toy
I'm not a fan.
esta re culero
si
its bloody horrific omfg
Sounds awful. Interior is garbage.
"fun to drive in the summer" how the hell is it fun when there is no fucking doors
do u need doors once you driving? lel
Sounds like crap
u dont know how to shift
Oooo first
This is rubbish I can feel you lie
What did they not pilfer from Ford?
