Czinger 21C Sets New Goodwood Hill Climb Record
Blazing Through Goodwood Festival of Speed: A Triumph for Czinger 21C
This year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed was a spectacle of speed and innovation. One of the most remarkable moments came from the Czinger 21C, an American hybrid hypercar that has redefined the boundaries of road-legal production cars. Built with revolutionary 3D printing technology, the Czinger 21C took the motorsport community by storm with its extraordinary performance.
The Record-Breaking Dash
During the festival, the Czinger 21C shattered previous records with a blistering time of 48.83 seconds on the 1.16-mile hill climb course. This stunning achievement dethroned the Rimac Nevera, which previously held the record, by an impressive 1.5 seconds. To put it in perspective, the Czinger 21C outpaced the Alpine A110 Pikes Peak Car and various legendary supercars like the Lotus Evija, McLaren P1, and Koenigsegg One:1.
Power Unleashed: The Heart of Czinger 21C
The Czinger 21C is not just about speed; it’s a technological marvel. This mid-engine, two-seater hypercar features a tandem seating arrangement akin to fighter jets. It’s powered by a unique twin-turbo 2.9-liter V8 engine with a flat-plane crank, paired with a hybrid system that includes three electric motors and a 2 kWh battery pack. The combined output is a staggering 1,250 horsepower. Nearly every component of the car is produced using cutting-edge 3D printing from its parent company, Divergent.
A Legacy of Speed
Goodwood isn’t the only venue where the Czinger 21C has made its mark. In 2021, this hypercar broke the production car lap record at Laguna Seca. It has also held records at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) for a significant period. Such achievements testify to the engineering brilliance behind the Czinger 21C.
Future Prospects and Configurations
Production of the Czinger 21C is already underway, with the first 80 units set for delivery soon. The car offers different configurations to suit varied preferences. For those not inclined towards track days, the 21C is available in a long-tail V Max configuration, which prioritizes top speed and comfort over aerodynamics and downforce.
Conclusion
The Czinger 21C’s record-breaking performance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed is a testament to its innovative engineering and superior capabilities. As the automotive world eagerly anticipates more such groundbreaking achievements, the Czinger 21C stands as a beacon of what future road-legal production cars can achieve.
