🟥 3D-printed hypercar smashes 5 records
The Czinger 21C, designed with AI and 3D-printed components, went on a 5-day, 1000-mile California road trip, hitting 5 lap records at major tracks.
Lap times: — Thunderhill: 1:48.30 — Sonoma: 1:35.05 — Laguna Seca: 1:24.39 — Willow Springs: 1:19.73 — Thermal Club: 2:03.17
Total: shaved 16.26 seconds off previous production car records.
Specs: hybrid powertrain — 2.9L twin-turbo V8 + 4.4 kWh battery = 1350 hp, top speed 407 km/h. Same setup customers get, no track-specific tuning.
Czinger 3D-prints final metal parts (suspension arms, chassis, engine mounts), with AI algorithms shaping bone-like structures — light but insanely strong.
They’re only 6 years old as a company, but just proved AI + 3D printers can build cars that scare the legends. 🏎️💨
