  • Czinger 21C makes a record lap at WeatherTech Laguna Seca Raceway

    2021 Czinger Hyper CarCzinger, the company that uses advanced design and manufacturing technologies to build state-of-the-art high-performance vehicles, has set a new lap record at the WeatherTech Laguna Seca Raceway, beating the old record with 2 seconds.

    On July 21, the Czinger 21C Hypercar, with driver Joel Miller behind the wheel, set the record in a multi-GPS verified time of 1:25:44.  The previous track record was held by the McLaren Senna, with driver Randy Pobst setting a time of 1:27.62.

    Under good conditions – clear weather, little to no wind, and an air temperature of 60 degrees – the Czinger vehicle also broke the previous record on two other laps, with times of 1:27:4 and 1:26:6.

    The car, which ran on fully road-legal Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2R tires, was designed, manufactured, and assembled in Los Angeles.

    As a blue-collar kid growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, I used to lie awake at night thinking about my racing hero, Jim Hall, his latest innovations, the technology-packed Chaparral cars his team built, and racing on the legendary Laguna Seca Raceway, said Kevin Czinger, the Founder and CEO of Czinger Vehicles and of Divergent 3D, the company that is revolutionizing the car manufacturing industry.  The era and the AI-based and sustainability-focused technologies available are different but the animating spirit remains the same – living the American Dream at speed.

     

  • Czinger unveils a groundbreaking hypercar

    2021 Czinger 21CCzinger, the trailblazing brand that uses an in-house Human-AI production system to build an advanced high-performance vehicle, unveils today the final variant of the 21C hypercar.

    This is the first vehicle in a series of custom vehicles and their production will be limited to merely 80 vehicles. And all of them feature exclusive manufacturing technologies like computationally engineered AI, optimized for weight and performance, and elegantly finished by hand.

    The hybrid vehicle showcases numerous updates since its first public introduction back in March 2020 and now proudly presents 1250 hp and a dry weight under 1240 kg, the 21C achieves a true 1:1 power-to-weight ratio. It also features all-wheel drive with a strong hybrid powertrain with:

    • An in-house developed 2.88-liter, flat crank V8 with twin turbos located mid-vehicle
    • Two high output electric motors, each powering a front wheel with torque vectoring
    • An ultra-light, sequential seven-speed automated manual transmission gearbox

    The 21C’s drivetrain system uses the world’s most powerful and dense production IC power unit. The 2.88-liter flat-plane crank V8 is placed at the center of the vehicle. The e-motor drives each front wheel and the batteries recharge during operation both via regenerative braking and a Motor Generator Unit, using a gear drive with an attached IC power unit. This setup allows a total output of 1250hp.
