Here's why Shmee bought a Zenvo instead of a Pagani

I'm guessing Tim got a Terrific deal from Zenvo based on his promoting the brand. Pagani doesn't need his help.

[@pipimontana]

and/or want

[@pistonburner6448]

Terrific deal, yes, or straight up paid to pretend to have bought it, make ad videos about it which are so incredibly transparently bought, then give it back and pretending that he "sold" it 6-18 months later... How clearly fake are his "Oh look, I came to this Cars & Coffee and someone just happened to truck in a Zenvo! I own one too, and I think it's the best car here!"??

[@Pseedholm]

@@pistonburner6448 my guess is the payment is the use/ability to keep/buy vehicle at severe discount after the promotional deal expires Edit: I unfollowed schmee months ago, he seems like a great dude, but the constant humble brags became grating.

[@pistonburner6448]

@@Pseedholm There are so many ways he they could be doing this. I suspect he was either given the car at a massive discount which he financed, maybe even at 0% through Zenvo or the owners' finance companies, and they have promised him a guaranteed sales price at the end of the contract term (probably 1 year or 1,5 years in). So essentially they're loaning him the car just like any car manufacturer gives the press long-term loan cars, but they might've done this kind of contractual trickery to pretend he actually bought the car. Or it's straight up just a long-term loan and they're making all this "I bought a Zenvo" stuff up. But he might've actually just got the car at a huge (absolutely massive) discount and he's speculating on getting at least 1/2 of the car's price back at resale. Now with inflation it's good to park your money somewhere, and if he gets a massive discount from a car company who think it's worth essentially paying him half a million or so for a year's worth of massive marketing reach, why not? I want to make it clear that I don't dislike Shmee even though I don't like this fakery part of the business (though I do respect him less because of these stunts), and all this is only speculation, but I refuse to believe that it is in any way probable that he paid anywhere near list price and that it's not essentially a marketing deal between him and Zenvo.

[@SkodaYetiFan]

I guess it's a massive discount on the MSRP to promote the car and the brand. And I guess it's working, it's got the people talking about Zenvo.

My cynical side tells me that of all Hypercar brands , Zenvo would be one of the VERY FEW that would give Shmee a big discount in exchange of good media push. Bugatti ,Pagani,Koenigsegg have rich YTbers coming at then asking for allocations. Zenvo ,because of their terrible start, would need a famous YTber at their side trying to push the brand forward.

I don't know if I'd buy a Zenvo for $2,000,000 given the choice. I honestly believe there are better options out there for that kind of money, but I will say I like the design of the car minus the wing. I am sure the wing very functional and yada, yada, yada, but it's an eye sore. If it could be redesigned or removed to make the care more aesthetically pleasing then I'd be more inclined to want to spend $2,000,000 on it. Still, it's hard for me to justify that kind of money on it when you know cars like the P1, La Ferrari, and 918 replacement are on the way. The biggest thing the TSR-S has going for it though is the fact that it's all combustion driven as of right now haha. The same can't be said for many of the hypercars on the horizon.

Well, despite what I think about the desirability of the end package, to be fair: it does have a massive amount of very high-quality engineering in it. They use lots of exotic materials, apparently they do do things properly, they test their product thoroughly, and above all they've created lots of bespoke in-house systems and tech. I may not think they've been successful in the end due to shortcomings in other areas and yet-unrefined areas, but there's no doubting there's lots of impressive stuff in those cars. Couple that with how expensive bespoke cars are nowadays and the price isn't that outrageous. _If_ Zenvo one day comes out with a new model that is much more cohesive and successful, then that might make very early Zenvos desirable and gain in value? Unlikely, but... Vintage car remanufacturers in the USA routinely ask well over half a million to over a million for old cars they've straightened up, shined up, and plonked crate motors into... Ruf made an impressive, but not that massively capital-intensive completely new interpretation of a 911 without any revolutionary or really cutting edge tech (a carbon tub, yes, and they did redesign just about every part, but in today's world that is pretty routine and only counted in work hours instead of massive investment). They charge about a million for a redone, 'simple' old 911. They've publicly told us they only invested €12 million into its development which is an astoundingly small investment, and for sure a fraction of what has gone into Zenvo.

The way he's explaining....seems less of an explanation rather a promotion...so it also seems like...it's a sponsor....not a purchase...bcoz something that is not yet known to be worth the money u have to pay...u cannot be sitting so confidently speaking about it...rest of the well established car brands dnt need this kind of promotions...so not a purchase...but a sponsor to boost up sales from upcoming projects...it's business nothing else😂

13 1/2 min commercial.

[@kennethwatson4489]

The cynicism in this comment section is extremely off-putting. Why do you people care about Zenvos marketing strategy? Why do you speculate on someone (that clearly none of you know personelly) else's finances? The car is glorious. They make 5 cars a year, and people think they just loan one out for marketing? I don't love the look of a Zenvo, but you have a better chance of seeing an Apollo than a Zenvo on the street, and that exclusivity carries its own cache. And it's own coolness. As for you Schmee haters, there are lots of people in this world who deserve the hate more than Schmee, so go hate on them, and keep your spurious allegations to yourselves

Pagani doesn't need him. They're on another level.

Pagani - Fastest supercar, slowest hypercar.

[@OxygenGenetics]

I'm sorry but the bug never out shined the mclaren F1. Short of it being faster the F1 is better in every way (in my .02). And now the value of the F1 vs the veyron or any Bugatti damn near really shows. A milestone in its own way that paved the way to today, just never had the love for the bug like I do the F1

[@Lemonssssss]

an f1 is 25 million dollars

[@OxygenGenetics]

@Ethan Calder not quite, cheapest one you could get is about 15 million roughly. The LM is worth probably 50 million or so and is on its way to the next 100 million plus car.

[@AHLDN]

@@OxygenGenetics The f1 is getting so overrated now just like the bugatti chiron ,nissan skyline gtr r34 and the toyota supra all of these cars are overatted just my opinion have a good day

[@Sharpshooter111]

The Zenvo is an investment. The TSR-S is only 5 in the world, if Zenvo grows big like pagani and koenigsegg like Shmee thinks it’s will, Shmee has the the ultimate rarest version of their first car, it will become extremely valuable. Like the Zonda Cinque. And this is besides now having great relations with the company like he discusses

[@not_tanga]

It’s only considered valuable if people actually know what it is

[@Sharpshooter111]

@@not_tanga investment. Buy it for a price and it’ll be worth more later down the line. It’s a 1 of 5 first ultimate car from them, right now that doesn’t mean much but Tim believes with the people from all these other hypercar companies that zenvo will get as big as pagani and koenigsegg. If they do then this car becomes real valuable

[@kimkristensen2816]

Knowing what is comming from Zenvo, I understand his choice 😀

[@rocktauber]

I would love to see Shmee and Nico Rosberg together with the Zenvo and Rimac

[@NightmaresBTW]

Never even heard of Zenvo until this video.

[@yerrie1908]

Product placing, he gets the car and they get the exposure from a respected guy/car channel. lets all be honest, Zenvo is not going to be the next hot hypercar or supercar

[@moonyshine]

Because he got a discount for featuring it so heavily in his videos

[@Cloxxki]

I suspect that made it all work out. mid 6 figure seems about right. Other brands get plenty of coverage, so they don't need to.

[@sshrivaas]

Pretty sure you or I would do the same. its a million dollar hypercar ffs. Not a Prius

[@GuY-ExE]

@@sshrivaas yea he also can afford to buy one out right to

[@william_SMMA]

Your source!? Don't make false claims you can't back up

[@Cloxxki]

@@sshrivaas Good investment, but with a smaller garage I'd pick any of many other cars. But then, I'd not go with that color either.

[@2Bunphettered788]

The only new supercars I'd consider are the Porsche 918 and Bugatti Chiron, based mostly on how they look.👍

[@15DEAN1995]

zenvos are very cool, i do think paganis are cooler but i think id be more afraid of the pagani than the zenvo for some reason. its like the pagani is a piece of art on wheels while the zenvo could still be used.

[@citystar87]

9:29 is that a lsx

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

Tim is unique. Jay Leno is about the story. He’s not a bad example to emulate.

[@Gozar111]

I really don’t get the Zenvo appeal. Its playing catch-up with the big brands. I find the Rimac far more interesting and appealing. And it is super fast.

[@RG-di8ni]

Does it come from factory with protective film clear bra?

[@comrade9374]

Watch his videos then to find out😏
