Presentation
Designed, developed and built in Los Angeles, California, the Czinger 21C launches the new brand Czinger Vehicles[3] named after its founder Kevin Czinger. The car was to be presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 2020, but the show was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] It was finally presented on March 11, 2020 in London during a special event.[5]
Czinger Vehicles will produce only 80 units in two configurations: a road variant and a track variant called "Lightweight Track".[6]
Technical characteristics
The 21C has a driver's seat in the central position and an in-line passenger seat behind that of the driver,[7] minimizing the width of the cockpit.
Motorization
The 21C has a hybrid gasoline engine consisting of a twin-turbo V8 of 2.88 liter 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 hp at 10,500 rpm transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed sequential transaxle with hydraulic actuated multi-plate clutch.[8]
