Czinger unveils specifications for the 21C

Czinger Vehicles has revealed the full specifications of its ground-breaking 21C hypercar, of which just 80 will be built.

The 21C is designed and manufactured from the ground up by a team in Los Angeles, California. Lightweight, proprietary high-performance alloy and carbon fibre multi-material structures form the 21C's chassis. Computationally engineered, printed and assembled, the chassis houses an in-house designed hybrid powertrain that will drive all four wheels.

A twin-turbocharged, 2.88-litre, flat-crank V8 located mid-vehicle, and an electric motor assigned to each front wheel allows the car to reach 100km/h from rest in 1.9 seconds.

Acceleration to 300km/h will be achieved in 15 seconds and rest to 400 km/h is dispatched in 29 seconds. At 324bhp per litre, Czinger's priorities are clear - maximise power to weight and power efficiency.

Two continuous front traction motors and one combined crank-driven generator and starter (to ensure the power from the lithium-titanate batteries is readily available when needed) completes the strong hybrid set-up, which has a total output of 1,233bhp.

This is paired with a seven-speed sequential transaxle gearbox with a hydraulic actuated multi-plate clutch to complete the entire drivetrain.

The 21C's iconic design originates from the concept of functional art. Performance driven 'line logic' gives rise to the car's dramatic shape. Every opening line on the car connects two graphical or functional features, and strong, athletic surfaces flow and wrap around the car's performance core. Rooted in aerodynamic efficiency, the 21C's inline seating creates a narrow cabin that pierces the air. The shrink-wrapped body hugs the chassis, tightly sculpting the front and rear overhang around the wheels.

The 21C will make its public debut at the Geneva International Motor Show 2020 on 3 March 2020.
