A bit like in Fast and Furious 9, in the scene where a duo of experimental mechanics wait for the take off of a plane to challenge it at speed by mounting a rocket on their car (and then they will be useful for Dom Toretto / Vin Diesel, but we would not want to spoil further the film), here is a real August August challenge won by both hands. The Czinger 21C, the hybrid hypercar, wowed Laguna Seca by spinning at 450km / h with its V8 and two 1250hp electric units, setting the McLaren Sienna’s lap record at Laguna Seca. The American startup, which put the car on the track by having test driver Joel Miller drive it, recorded a time of 1:25:44, beating the previous time by more than two seconds.
It is called Czinger, the car, from the name of the founder and CEO of the company, Mr. Kevin. He’s the one who commissioned a team of designers, engineers and scientists – who used a revolutionary Human? -? AI – production system – this ‘weird’ car, which uses a hybrid powertrain as the basis for the more production IC engine. full of power to the world. It is a 2.88-liter flat-cranked V8 with dual turbo positioned in the middle of the vehicle. The V8 is then coupled with an 800V electric motor and regeneration system. An electric motor? drives each front wheel and the batteries are charged during operation via both regenerative braking and an engine generator unit (MGU) using a gear drive connected to the motor IC. The powerful total hybrid system delivers a maximum power of 1250hp (1233hp).
The car is powered by two front-axle-mounted electric motors that flank a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V8, and together generate 1,250 hp. The Czinger 21C weighs about 1,200 kg, and it is not the lightest version in circulation: there is in fact a version dedicated to the track that weighs even less. As mentioned, it was able to reach 450km / h and takes 1.9 seconds to go from 0 to 100km / h, more or less the same time as the Rimac Two.
The version seen at Laguna Seca showed significant updates to the one shown in February 2020 (its presentation to the world): width updated to 2050 mm. And, with 1250 hp and a dry weight of less than 1240 kg, the Czinger 21C achieves a weight / power ratio of 1: 1. The car should be exhibited this weekend at the Pebble Beach event, at the Monterey Car in California: Mister Czinger had 80 units produced. Cost? $ 1.7 million per car. Should someone care …
