LOS ANGELES: Czinger Vehicles has revealed the full specifications of its groundbreaking 21C hypercar, of which just 80 will be built.
The reveal includes an in-depth look and explanation of Czinger’s in-house developed drivetrain and proprietary production and manufacturing technologies.
The Czinger 21C is designed, built and manufactured in Los Angeles and will debut next month at the Geneva International Motor Show 2020.
Lightweight, proprietary high-performance alloy and carbon fibre multi-material structures form the 21C chassis. Computationally engineered, printed and assembled, the chassis is home to an in-house designed strong hybrid powertrain that drives all four wheels.
Achieving a true 1:1 power to weight ratio, a 2.88-litre, flat crank V8 with twin turbos located mid-vehicle, and an electric motor assigned to each front wheel drive the 21C to a 8.1 second quarter mile, 0-100kph in 1.9 seconds, 0 to 300kph in 15 seconds and 0 to 400kph in 29 seconds.
At 329hp per litre, Czinger's priorities are clear - maximize 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 1250hp.
This is paired with a seven-speed sequential transaxle gearbox with a hydraulic actuated multi-plate clutch to complete the entire drivetrain, which is designed, developed and built by Czinger.
