New upstart hyper car company Czinger from the US has fully revealed its Bugatti and Koeniggsegg challenger. The 21C hypercar is the creation of a small team of designers, engineers and scientists using a revolutionary, patented, production system.

Using an extraordinary power-train and limited to just 80 models with road and track-oriented variants, this all-wheel drive hyper car is powered by a 920kW twin-turbo 2.8l flat-crank V8 that revs to an astounding 11,000rpm and a hybrid system that gives it a total system output of 932kW. It’s also mated to a seven-speed sequential transaxle transmission.

It weighs a paltry 1,250kg optimised for performance driving ergonomics weight distribution with performance enhancing devices like torque vectoring thrown in.

The speeds it’s claimed to generate are staggering: with the quarter mile sprint coming in 8.1 sec, 0-100km/h in 1.9 seconds and a top speed of 400km/h.

The Czinger that will be sold through 10 global dealerships based in Europe and America will make its global public debut at the Geneva International Motor Show in March.

The Czinger is a single-seater dream said to re-write the hyper manual.
