California-based startup Czinger unveiled a second, more luxurious model to follow its 21C supercar at The Qual, A Motorsports Gathering, part of the Monterey Car Week.
The Czinger Hyper GT is a four-seater coupe designed to take advantage of 3D printing production method like 21C. This eliminates tooling, assembly lines, and all the other expensive traps of traditional auto manufacturing, allowing for more flexibility.

It will also help give the sizable Hyper GT a good power-to-weight ratio by cutting as much fat as possible, company founder Kevin Czinger said in an interview with Autoweek. The design also incorporates Gullwing doors and rear seats that can fit 95 percent of adults, Czinger said.
As for the powertrain, the Hyper GT uses the same V-8 twin-turbo 2.9-liter flat crank as the 21C, which works with a hybrid system to produce 1,250 hp. Other specifications are currently being kept under wraps.

Pricing and production times are yet to be discussed, but the Hyper GT is expected to cost around $1.7 million less than the 21C. Czinger plans to build 80 copies of the 21C, and it also revealed a new V-Max version of the supercar on display at The Quail, with a modified bodywork that Czinger claims is optimized for the vehicle. high speed. It is expected to begin shipping in both body styles in 2023.
Czinger plans to follow 21C and Hyper GT with more models, all geared towards performance. They can all be low-volume, as one drawback of Czinger’s unique manufacturing process is that it’s not geared towards mass-producing cars quickly. For example, each 21C will take about 3,000 hours to complete. But Czinger plans to provide contract manufacturing to other companies for low-volume orders.
