Founded last year, Czinger brings something fierce to Geneva. The company announced this earlier this month. Now it is also known how fierce the first model of the young company has become. A short summary: very intense.
The firstborn of Czinger is called 21C and is a hypercar with a carriage made of carbon fiber. More interesting is the hybrid powertrain that is hidden under the voluptuous carriage. The 21C has a 2.88-liter V8 where not one, but two turbos are screwed on. This eight-cylinder drive the rear wheels and is coupled to two electric motors that in turn pay attention to the front wheels. Between the V8 and the wheels is a manual gearbox with seven gears. The total power is at a not exactly modest 1,250 hp. This makes the 21C fast. Very quick.
With its 1,250 hp V8, which only shoots at 11,000 rpm in the speed limiter, the 1,200 kilo weighing 21C – on paper at least – sprint in 1.9 seconds to a speed of 100 km / h. In just 15 counts, the 21C rumbles to a speed of 300 km / h and then stops again. It can be even more extreme. The 21C must be able to complete a 0-400-0 km / h session in just 29 counts. The top speed: 432 km / h. The spoiler work is good for 250 kilos of downward pressure at 250 km / h, and you seem to need that.
Czinger is only going to build 80 copies of the 21C, and not all of them will be street legal hypercars. There will also be a variant for the circuit that Czinger christens the 21C Lightweight. This, with a total weight of 1,218 kilos, a total of 32 kilos lighter, has more extensive spoiler work, good for no less than 790 kilos of downward pressure at a speed of 250 km / h. The top speed of this circuit taste is 380 km / h.
