Presentation edit
Designed, developed and built in Los Angeles, California, the Czinger 21C launches the new brand Czinger Vehicles[4] named after its founder Kevin 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]
Technical characteristics edit
The 21C has a driver's seat in the central position and an in-line passenger seat behind that of the driver,[8] minimizing the width of the cockpit.
The brake calipers and suspension components are combined into a single unit called the BrakeNode.[2]
Powertrain edit
The 21C has a hybrid gasoline engine consisting of a bespoke twin-turbo V8 of 2.88 liters (176 cu in) capacity in the rear central position associated with two electric motors located on the front and powered by a lithium titanate battery. The combination provides 1,250 horsepower (932 kW; 1,267 PS) at 10,500 rpm transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed sequential transaxle with hydraulic actuated multi-plate clutch.[9] A 1,350 horsepower (1,010 kW) horsepower option is also available.
