Zenvo's Quad-Turbo Supercar Is Nearly Here. This Is What It'll Look Like
Zenvo revealed the Aurora
, a V-12-powered hybrid hypercar. The Danish automaker showcased two variants, the road-going Tur and the track-focused Agil, and has since then been fine-tuning the design. Ahead of the car's dynamic debut later this week, the company has revealed the Tur's final exterior shape.
Zenvo
doesn't mention what's changed, and to be honest, it looks almost identical to the original with a passing glance, but a closer inspection reveals a few tweaks. It has new rear-end styling, with a much more aggressive diffuser and a relocated license plate bracket. It also appears the rear deck is longer than before, housing a reshaped tailpipe and thicker taillights.

Up front, the changes are even more subtle. The front openings now have mesh coverings, there's a bit more sheet metal underneath the daytime running lights, and the hood has been reshaped.
While Zenvo is pitching the Aurora Tur as the road-going version, it's also the most potent of the two, even with both using the same
quad-turbocharged 6.6-liter V12 engine
. The Tur has three electric motors instead of one, upping the powertrain's output to 1,850 horsepower and 1,254 pound-feet of torque. Zenvo claims the car will hit 62 miles per hour in 2.3 seconds and reach a 280-mph top speed.
The car will make a public appearance at the
Goodwood Festival of Speed
later this week. When Zenvo announced the car, it said production would not begin until 2026, and it appears the company is on schedule to meet that timeline. Just a few weeks ago, the company announced it would tap Alcon Components to provide the hypercar's braking system. In April, Zenvo showcased the first example of its V-12 engine built by Mahle.

Move over premium bonds: here's how to earn passive income on the stock market
For years, premium bonds have been a popular choice for UK savers seeking minimal risk. However, the passive income available from high-yield dividend stocks should be so much more appealing. Here's why I think Britons need to look more carefully at investing, and put premium bonds to the back of their minds. Premium bonds currently offer an annual 'prize fund rate' of roughly 3.8%. This figure is not a guaranteed yield, as it reflects an average return based on luck in monthly draws. Importantly, most bondholders will earn less, and many never win at all. In contrast, several prominent UK stocks are delivering dividend yields that far exceed this rate. Stock Forward dividend yield (%) Legal & General 8.4% Phoenix Group 9% Lloyds 4.5% Greggs 3.9% Premium Bonds 3.8% (not guaranteed) While dividends are by no means guaranteed, these payments are arguably more predictable that the 'luck' of a premium bond prize. They are also typically paid biannually or quarterly, providing regular cash flow. The best FTSE income stocks are clearly outpacing premium bonds on yield. For those willing to accept modest stock market risk, dividends from companies like Legal & General or Phoenix Group can offer an inflation-beating source of passive income. And in the current market, I'd suggest it's entirely possible to create a portfolio of 10 stocks with an average yield of 6%. And the portfolio would be composed of dividend-paying stocks that appear sustainable. All these factors make me think premium bonds look less and less attractive by comparison. And it's even more compelling if an investor wishes to compound for wealth accumulation. For example, £10,000 would grow to £31,000 after 30 years in premium bonds, while that figure would be £60,000 in investments returning 6% per year. More seasoned investors averaging 12% per annum could turn £10,000 into £359,000. One investment to consider Yü Group (LSE:YU) is an AIM-listed stock that stands out for dividend investors. The forecast dividend yield is 4.6% and is expected to exceed 5% by 2027, based on strong projected increases in payouts — from 60p per share in 2024 to 95p by 2027. Buying Yü Group shares now would allow an investor to lock in today's attractive yield and benefit directly from anticipated dividend hikes over the coming years. A crucial strength is Yü's balance sheet. The group holds £80.2m in net cash, equivalent to 30% of its £273m market capitalisation. This significant cash buffer not only underpins dividend sustainability, but also signals further potential for increases, especially given a conservative payout ratio of about 33%. Moreover, the core business benefits from sector trends such as smart metering rollouts and demand for green energy. It's a licensed supplier of electricity, gas, and water to UK firms. A key risk to monitor is volatility in wholesale energy prices, which, despite effective hedging, could impact long-term margins. Still, the company's earnings strength and balance sheet resilience make its rising dividends especially compelling for long-term investors. I've got it on my watchlist. It may be worth broader consideration. The post Move over premium bonds: here's how to earn passive income on the stock market appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

3 cheap dividend stocks I bought for a lifetime of passive income
While I'm still decades away from retirement, I've begun planning ahead and loading up my Self-Employed Personal Pension (SIPP) with top-notch UK dividend stocks. But rather than focusing on the shares offering the highest yields today, I'm hunting the companies capable of hiking dividends for years and decades to come. Opportunities in commercial real estate In a higher interest rate environment, real estate investment trusts like LondonMetric Property (LSE:LMP) and Safestore (LSE:SAFE) haven't received a lot of love from investors. In fact, over the last five years, both landlords have seen their valuations slide by around 10%. And yet in both cases, dividends have continued to climb. The growth drivers for these businesses are a little different. LondonMetric receives a good chunk of demand from the e-commerce sector with many tenants renting out warehousing space. On the other hand, Safestore is predominantly driven by consumer demand, which has waned in recent years, particularly due to a slowdown in home renovation projects. However, even in a weakened environment, both businesses remain highly cash generative, enabling impressive resilience to external pressure. LondonMetric, in particular, has proven that even during a market downturn, it can continue to grow earnings at a double-digit pace and use that strength to snap up smaller, struggling rivals. As for Safestore, while earnings growth has been tougher to achieve, it's still expanding its territory in Europe, positioning itself for when market conditions eventually recover. And given that the European self-storage industry is still in its infancy, an enormous long-term growth opportunity exists to grow its cash flows and, in turn, dividends. That's why, despite the risks, both dividend stocks are already in my income portfolio. Please note that tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in future. The content in this article is provided for information purposes only. It is not intended to be, neither does it constitute, any form of tax advice. International exposure Another cash-generative enterprise that's been lacking some love lately is Somero Enterprise (LSE:SOM). The firm's the global leader in laser-guided concrete levelling, contouring, and placing machines. While it's hardly the most exciting business out there, it's proven to be an essential player in the non-residential construction sector, especially in North America. Beyond the benefits of geographic diversification, Somero's seeking to capitalise on the enormous infrastructure spending plans by the US government over the coming years. And with an impressive line-up of new screed machines being launched throughout 2025, Somero's maintaining its top-dog status. Sadly, the global construction market isn't in an ideal spot. With higher interest rates, large-scale projects have been put on hold, lowering demand for the firm's machines. And consequently, revenue growth in countries like Australia has been hit hard. That's obviously frustrating. But this isn't the first time management has had to navigate through cyclical downturns. And with $29m of cash on its balance sheet with virtually no debt, its financial health remains in tip-top shape, as is the dividend. And with a yield of 6.9% on offer today, it's a dividend stock that investors may want to consider investigating further, despite the challenges.

While individual investors own 31% of COLTENE Holding AG (VTX:CLTN), private companies are its largest shareholders with 35% ownership
Key Insights Significant control over COLTENE Holding by private companies implies that the general public has more power to influence management and governance-related decisions The top 3 shareholders own 52% of the company Insider ownership in COLTENE Holding is 22% AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. If you want to know who really controls COLTENE Holding AG (VTX:CLTN), then you'll have to look at the makeup of its share registry. The group holding the most number of shares in the company, around 35% to be precise, is private companies. Put another way, the group faces the maximum upside potential (or downside risk). Meanwhile, individual investors make up 31% of the company's shareholders. Let's take a closer look to see what the different types of shareholders can tell us about COLTENE Holding. View our latest analysis for COLTENE Holding What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About COLTENE Holding? Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index. COLTENE Holding already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company. This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can't rely on that fact alone since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does. When multiple institutions own a stock, there's always a risk that they are in a 'crowded trade'. When such a trade goes wrong, multiple parties may compete to sell stock fast. This risk is higher in a company without a history of growth. You can see COLTENE Holding's historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story. Hedge funds don't have many shares in COLTENE Holding. Huwa Finanz- Und Beteiligungs AG is currently the company's largest shareholder with 22% of shares outstanding. For context, the second largest shareholder holds about 17% of the shares outstanding, followed by an ownership of 12% by the third-largest shareholder. To make our study more interesting, we found that the top 3 shareholders have a majority ownership in the company, meaning that they are powerful enough to influence the decisions of the company. While it makes sense to study institutional ownership data for a company, it also makes sense to study analyst sentiments to know which way the wind is blowing. There is a little analyst coverage of the stock, but not much. So there is room for it to gain more coverage. Insider Ownership Of COLTENE Holding The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it. I generally consider insider ownership to be a good thing. However, on some occasions it makes it more difficult for other shareholders to hold the board accountable for decisions. Our most recent data indicates that insiders own a reasonable proportion of COLTENE Holding AG. It has a market capitalization of just CHF399m, and insiders have CHF88m worth of shares in their own names. We would say this shows alignment with shareholders, but it is worth noting that the company is still quite small; some insiders may have founded the business. You can click here to see if those insiders have been buying or selling. General Public Ownership With a 31% ownership, the general public, mostly comprising of individual investors, have some degree of sway over COLTENE Holding. While this group can't necessarily call the shots, it can certainly have a real influence on how the company is run. Private Company Ownership We can see that Private Companies own 35%, of the shares on issue. It might be worth looking deeper into this. If related parties, such as insiders, have an interest in one of these private companies, that should be disclosed in the annual report. Private companies may also have a strategic interest in the company. Next Steps: While it is well worth considering the different groups that own a company, there are other factors that are even more important.
