Czinger Vehicles Inc.
is a subsidiary of Divergent and is based in Los Angeles, California.
Divergent is on a mission to democratize the design and manufacture of vehicles and has invented a manufacturing system that combines software, additive manufacturing, and assembly technologies to radically reduce the material, energy, time and capital required to design and build vehicles.
The Czinger 21C is the first whole vehicle demonstration of that technology; a revolutionary hypercar built for the 21st century.
This includes what will be the world’s most power dense production engine at the heart of it’s, state of the art, hybrid powertrain.
A twin turbo 2.88 litre V8 combines with twin electric motors on the front axle, that are powered by cells that are currently used in the latest F1 hybrid systems, to deliver in excess of 1250bhp and breathtaking performance.
Complete running vehicles have been designed and built and have undergone extensive on and off-track testing and development.
