The Zenos E10 is a mid-engined sports car designed and produced by the British manufacturer Zenos Cars. First announced to the press in September 2013,[4] pre-production car was made available to the press in October 2014.

Production started in Norfolk in January 2015,[5] and ceased at the end of 2016 when the company fell into administration at the start of 2017. The ‘E’ in the car's name is taken from managing director and co-founder Mark Edwards’ surname, while the ‘10’ signifies that this is the 10th car project he has been involved in.[6]

In September 2016, the company announced that it had built its 100th vehicle, which was an E10 R.[7]
