3D-printed hypercar smashes 5 track records in as many days

Czinger’s 3D-printed 21C hypercar achieved a remarkable feat by breaking five official production lap records on five consecutive days during a 1,000-mile campaign across California, known as the California Gold Rush campaign. The hypercar set new lap times at Thunderhill Raceway Park, Sonoma Raceway, Laguna Seca, Willow Springs, and The Thermal Club, collectively shaving 16.26 seconds off previous benchmarks. Each record was verified by RaceLogic’s VBox GNSS system and independent witnesses, underscoring the car’s exceptional performance and endurance. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V8 engine combined with a 4.4-kWh battery pack, the 21C produces 1,350 horsepower and reaches a top speed of 253 mph. Notably, the car used the same standard configuration for all runs without any hidden upgrades, demonstrating the durability and capability of its 3D-printed components under varied track conditions and temperatures.
