This is the Czinger 21C - a 3D-printed hypercar. Weighing 1240kg - which isn’t very much - and a combined 1,233bhp (from a hybrid system consisting of a mid-mounted twin-turbo 2.9-litre V8 and e-motors for each of the front wheels) it’s fast.
In “Low Drag” configuration Czinger claims the 21C has a top speed of 281mph and does 0-62mph in 1.9 seconds, 0-186mph in 8.5 seconds and 0-248mph in 21.3 seconds. 0-248mph-0 is said to take 27.1 seconds - a Bugatti Chiron does it in 41.96 seconds, and a Koenigsegg Regera in 31.49 seconds.
Meanwhile in “High Downforce” configuration, Czinger claims the 21C makes 650kg of downforce at 100mph and 2,500kg at 200mph. Oh, and it’s just snatched the Laguna Seca lap record from a McLaren Senna.
So we had to have a go. This is what happened when Jack Rix was the first in the world to drive an early prototype of this wild car.

The part with the 3D printing is ingenious. You don't need a huge warehouse with spare parts so that you can still supply your customers with spare parts in 20 years. You just print them to order. At least with Hypercars. If one of these cars survives 40 years, all you need are the CAD plans of the parts and you reprint them. Even in a better quality.

@ameunier41 2 жыл бұрын

There are still hyper cars that shares a lot of their internals with a lotta other cars, Companoes are still using their old engines with only minor improvements calling them all new, is because the current ICE cars and their production methods are at their limits. And it just costs way too much to make a completely new engines to get better out of existing platforms because, improvements needs to come from all sides. Look at these cars manufacturing likes, they are either Hand made for exclusivity or just thrown at a production line with little modification done to the line to accustom the cars special needs! The LaF, is and was a 458 pushed to it's limits, The Senna, Elva, Sabre are basically over engineered 720s', the Bugatti's are strongly linked to the VAG group, Koenigsegg basically started from a Ford's v8 block from the Ford GT (not the same engine anymore), the list could go on and on. Not to forget, how similar todays Hypercar successor's are underneath their bodies, specially Lamborghini's! Manufacturers like Koenigsegg and Pagani still makes cars that's are a class apart and neither am I looking down on the other cars I've mentioned above. But I can still go under these Hypercar's body and name each part and not find anything alien at this point. But the 21 c has a lotta alien looking stuff inside it. Has what seems to be pretty amazing powertrain- a mix of two world's and with the AI developed, 3D printed internals, with the human mind not being a limiting factor here, things can be improved drastically!

3D Printing is not the most amazing part of this car, CNC also has to be used. It's the Animalistic Generative Design which use machine learning simulations to develop the strongest and small lowest mass shape to do a job. Thus you get that biological skeletal design. If this concept gets even more refined and production methods become cheaply scalable. It could have massive impact on the modern world.
