Czinger 21C, with a 3D-printed body, to make UK debut
What's the story
Los Angeles-based Czinger revealed its 21C hypercar last year. Now, the four-wheeler will make its UK debut at the first "Concours on Savile Row" event in London. It has an aggressive design, a 3D-printed body, and rides on a variety of eco-friendly fuels in order to operate as a zero-emission vehicle. Only 80 units of the car will be manufactured.
Context
Why does this story matter?
The Czinger 21C is one of the most exciting cars around. With a 3D-printed body and top-tier performance, it is hard to believe that it is road-legal. The four-wheeler recently set a production car lap record around the Circuit of Americas, beating McLaren P1's previous record by six seconds. True to its name, the hypercar is certainly a marvel of the "21st century."

The 2023 Czinger 21C flaunts a futuristic look with a sculpted bonnet, a wide air dam, a prominent front splitter, and vertically-positioned headlights. It is flanked by protruding ORVMs, massive air scoops, side-steppers, and designer wheels. A large wing and a U-shaped taillamp grace the rear. The car has a width of 2,050mm and a dry weight of 1,240kg.
