The Czinger 21C is a hybrid sports car developed using 3D printing[2] by the American car manufacturer Czinger Vehicles. Manufacturing began in 2021,[3] with a planned production run of 80 units and deliveries starting Q1 2023.
Designed, developed and built in Los Angeles, California, the Czinger 21C launches the new brand Czinger Vehicles[4] named after its founders Kevin and Lukas Czinger. The car was to be presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2020, but the show was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] It was instead presented on March 11, 2020, in London during a special event.[6]
Czinger Vehicles will produce only 80 units in two configurations: a road variant and a track variant called "Lightweight Track".[7]
The 21C has a driver's seat in the central position and an in-line, tandem passenger seat behind that of the driver, minimizing the width of the cockpit.[8] [9]
The brake calipers and suspension components are combined into a single unit called the BrakeNode.[2]
The 21C has a hybrid gasoline engine consisting of a bespoke twin-turbo V8 of 2.88L capacity, has a bore x stroke of 84x in the rear central position associated with two electric motors located on the front and powered by a lithium titanate battery. The combination provides 1250hp at 10,500 rpm transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed sequential transaxle with hydraulic actuated multi-plate clutch.[10] A 1350hp horsepower option is also available.
