FANCY

printing yourself a supercar? The Czinger 21C hybrid hypercar, pictured, is the brainchild of Kevin Czinger and his electrical engineer Yale graduate son Lukas, who have harnessed artificial intelligence and advanced 3D printing to design and build their powerful £2 million carbon-fibre bodied machine. They believe their techniques could revolutionise motor manufacturing.

Weighing just 1,250 kg, a twin turbo 2.9-litre V8 petrol engine linked to two 800-volt electric motors powering the front wheels through a seven-speed gearbox, it develops 1,250 hp that propels it from rest to 62 mph in just 1.9 seconds.

The two-seater seats the driver in front of the passenger. Only 80 are to be built, and HR Owen has the exclusive sales deal in the UK. I saw the car up close at Goodwood Festival of Speed and it’s now starring at Monterey Car Week in California.
