TRADING My Zenvo TSR-S for New Aurora!?

Let's talk about upgrading my Zenvo TSR-S to the new Zenvo Aurora! I'm back in Los Angeles to collect the TSR-S from the Petersen Museum after 6 weeks on display and get back on the road. As we go out spotting along the way, the hidden hypercars of LA never disappoint!
Now that the dust has settled following the global introduction of the Zenvo Aurora at Monterey Car Week, it's also given me a bit of time to think about what the future looks like for the Shmeemobile hypercar. Following those events, I left the TSR-S in the safe hands of the team at the world famous Petersen and it has been on display in the lobby to be seen by many since.
Upon return to collect the car, it would be wrong not to take a tour around some of the exhibits including the Hollywood Gallery, Porsche 75th Anniversary and Ferrari exhibits. Naturally, I've been itching to get back behind the wheel and we're straight on the roads of Beverly Hills, including a visit to a location that certainly impresses with special hypercars!
It's crazy to think that there are currently two Shmeemobiles in the USA, but they are 2,000 miles apart with the new Mustang Dark Horse currently having PPF applied at Ceramic Pro Chicago. In the not too distant future however, these two cars will be together as we get ready for SEMA in Las Vegas at the end of the month.

Thank you for making it possible, Shmee.

​@@Shmee150Yes, of course, In life you can't have everything, but... take a step forward, imagine, sell the TSR, driving the Aurora, do you know all the looks and the price that will rise in the future if the brand does everything right? Out of this world!

[@Craftyboy89]

I appreciate your purchase of the Zenvo and being a part of the Zenvo community. Having a supercar company in the neighbouring country is very fun. I also appreciate the fact that you bought it when nobody really knew about Zenvo (still a lot of people that don't know it). It's fun to see a car company rise up and the fact that you bought it probably helps them a lot more than people think. Keep up the amazing content Shmee, it's always great fun to watch your videos!

[@atodaso1668]

Get the new one man, it looks amazing and is a massive step up IMO. The TSR-S still has a whiff of kit car, the Aurora looks the part.

[@Moray2023]

I am mixed on this. Depends on which way Zenvo goes as a Company, if its a Pagani, the earlier cars can be worth soo much. Especially in a spec as nice as your Zenvo. If it turns out to be a company like a Noble, you should upgrade. So basically i have no clue.

[@sidrens1047]

Sadly Zenvo doesn’t have the heritage and prestige of big manufacturers. The new line up does look fantastic- however, I’m not sure the TSRS will hold its value in the future (maybe I am wrong).

in my honest opinion. I think the channel hasn't really seen enough of the TSR-S. you've barely even broke the engine in! Now of course given it is probably your most valuable car nobody can really blame you for keeping it in the garage. At the end of the day it is your money, we are all super proud of where you have come and will support your every decision!

I still prefer the TSR-S, but it's your collection and I'm sure the Aurora must be incredible!! The garage will be amazing with the Aurora too! Great content

[@CliffEckstorm-xo3jr]

Completely understandable. I know that you would have an Aurora in a heartbeat. But I agree with what you’re thinking, Tim. You also have to take into consideration that the Aurora is a very serious bit of kit and a little bit less streetable as the Zenvo TSR-S. Still…if you can possibly do it (with the company help and support…) I think you should. The Aurora would be a stunning car to add to your collection. I will watch you anyway as it is the only way I would ever see any of the glorious exotic cars you are kind enough to share your experience with us. Positive thoughts and thanks.

[@erykmozejko3329]

So much resource tied into obtaining the TSR I think you need to hold on to it for a couple of years at least to get to enjoy more drives with it. For what it is I think today we would expect it to have more of the bar of soap looks like all it’s rivals have and that’s why it generates so many comments where people don’t get it. However I think it’s a “grower”. Personally I didn’t dislike it at first but it certainly has grown on me in abounds. I suspect this one will get under your skin Tim if it hasn’t already

[@jonathanblake5844]

I feel like you have to go for the Aurora. Wasn't this the whole reason you got the TSR-S? Didn't you want to enter the brand because you thought they would be making cool new things? Seems like you should push for the Aurora! Zenvo seems to be really stepping it up with the Aurora.

[@willemvandernest3249]

I will keep the older Zenvo. For some reason I like it more. It looks more practical to be honest and from the front it gives a supercar a hypercar and muscle car vibe which you don't get with any other hypercar out there. It's really unique and that is what makes me think it's a keeper. The Aurora is just hypercar based and that makes it less interesting to be honest. Not to mention the color of your car. For some reason reason I think that your paint color pick makes it really stand out. A Aurora in this color just won't do it
