Meet Czinger 21C, a 3D-printed hypercar (Priced at Rs. 18cr)

Unveiled in London, Czinger 21C looks a like a typical hypercar with an aerodynamic body and a fighter jet-like 1+1 central seating system.

It looks fascinating from all angles, but what makes it even more incredible is the fact that the whole thing has largely been manufactured from 3D-printed parts.

This means each part needed for the car is computer-modeled, with little-to-no material wastage.

Beyond 3D printing, 21C uses a hybrid drivetrain with a 2.88-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, supplemented by a pair of torque-vectoring electric motors (fed by 2kWh fast-charging lithium-titanate battery) upfront.

The engine is slightly small and likely to be more efficient than that of other hypercars. However, the power remains unaffected, as the entire set up churns out a significant output of 1,250 horsepower.

Another environment-friendly aspect of 21C is its fueling mechanism.

Czinger says that the vehicle can be fuelled with sustainably produced methanol, which is extracted from biomass and ultimately allows for carbon-neutral emissions.

"We need to get away from thinking electric cars answer every need," Kevin Czinger, the head of the automaker, told Motoring Research while detailing the idea behind methanol-based fueling.

While the idea sounds promising, methanol-based fuelling isn't as accessible as electric charging or traditional gas fuelling.

Not many places sell methanol directly, which is probably why the company is going with a target of making just 80 of these cars.

Its base price starts at $1.9 million but the final price, combined with taxes/duties, is expected to go around $2.6 million (Rs. 18cr).
