Czinger, a small supercar manufacturer based in California, recently made headlines with its 21C model breaking a production road car record at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The company is now setting its sights on breaking even more prestigious lap records in the future. In an interview with CarBuzz at the Festival of Speed, CEO Kevin Czinger hinted at plans to attempt another speed record next year, teasing a potential international trip. Speculation suggests that Czinger may be aiming to break the Nurburgring production car lap record, currently held by the Mercedes-AMG One. With impressive performance stats and previous lap records under its belt, the 21C is certainly a contender for the challenge.
The 21C’s impressive performance capabilities are evident from its record-breaking lap times at renowned circuits such as The Circuit of the Americas and WeatherTech Laguna Seca Raceway. With a mid-mounted 2.88 liter V-8 hybrid engine producing up to 1,350 horsepower on the Blackbird Edition, the 21C delivers exceptional speed and power. The 21C VMax variant boasts a claimed top speed of 253 miles per hour, further solidifying its position as a formidable supercar in the industry.
In the quest for setting new lap records, Czinger faces stiff competition from established players like Mercedes and Porsche, who currently hold top positions at the Nurburgring. The Mercedes-AMG One holds the production car lap record at Nurburgring with a lap time of 6 minutes, 30.7 seconds, closely followed by the Porsche 911 GT2 RS Manthey at 6 minutes, 38.8 seconds. Despite the challenges, the 21C’s performance capabilities and track record suggest that it is well-equipped to take on the competition and potentially secure new lap records in the future.
Overall, Czinger’s pursuit of breaking speed and lap records exemplifies the company’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of performance and innovation in the supercar industry. With the 21C as its flagship model, Czinger continues to showcase its engineering prowess and commitment to delivering cutting-edge vehicles that redefine the standards of speed and handling on the track. As the company gears up for new challenges and records, enthusiasts eagerly await to see where Czinger’s next international trip will take them and what new records they will set in the process.
