Czinger 21C V Max, the supercar that has arrived in Europe at the Goodwood Festival

The Goodwood Festival of Speed has brought us the first images of many interesting cars. Among them, we have seen the Polestar 5 and other vehicles that show the future of the industry in the short and medium term. One of the cars seen during the festival was one we discussed earlier, although its arrival has been delayed quite a bit. The last glimpse we had of this model was in 2021, but it has now been presented in Europe.

This is the Czinger 21C V Max, a supercar that comes from the United States and offers a striking look and spectacular performance. In terms of design, this version has some changes compared to the others we have seen. In fact, it draws inspiration from the legendary SR-71 Blackbird aircraft. At the front, the diffuser has been slightly modified and is now smaller.

Aerodynamics have been made more efficient thanks to some changes to the sides of the vehicle. The newly designed skirts and side sills make this improvement possible, along with the surfaces around the front air intakes. In addition, this more radical version is slightly longer than those we have seen so far.

At the rear, one notable absence stands out: the rear wing has disappeared compared to the car’s original version. In its place, we find the exhaust, which is located at the upper part of the engine. The rear diffuser has also been modified to achieve a better aerodynamic coefficient. With this, the goal is not to improve its behavior in corners, but to reach top speed without much trouble.

The engine, unchanged

As for the engine, it features an in-house developed hybrid powertrain that transmits torque to all four wheels. The combustion engine is a 2.88-litre V8 reinforced by two turbochargers. An important detail: this engine is designed to run on several types of fuel. Among them, it can run on methanol recycled from coal, as well as other synthetic fuels.

The two electric motors are located one on each front wheel, so that front-wheel drive is electric, while the combustion engine provides rear-wheel drive. Overall, the Czinger 21C V Max’s propulsion system delivers 919 kW, equivalent to 1,250 CV.

The seven-speed sequential gearbox helps generate the speed that makes it an outstanding car. The 800-volt electrical technology helps make the electrical system more efficient and allows faster charging. As for the power-to-weight ratio of 1:1, it achieves a top speed of 452 km/h and an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.9 seconds.

This is a model that will be limited to 80 units, so anyone who wants to enjoy this car behind the wheel will have to hurry to secure one that will let them fly around the circuit.
