-- 21C Hypercar Visits COTA Ahead of American F1 Grand Prix

Inspired by Texas' legendary performance car engineer Jim Hall and his

extraordinarily innovative vehicles, Czinger Vehicles recently made a

pilgrimage to Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in an act of American rebellion –

leaving the previous production track record set by a McLaren P1 more than 6

seconds in the rear-view mirror.

Czinger Vehicles uses revolutionary design and manufacturing technologies to

build state-of-the-art, homologated high-performance vehicles. The Czinger 21C

leading the rebellion was run in complete production street form with full

interior, lighting, and on Michelin Pilot Cup 2R street tires. Fully

homologated vehicles, designed and manufactured in America, will be delivered

beginning in 2023.

The record time was run on September 23rd at 9:50 am CT with driver Joel Miller

piloting the car. The 2:11:33 lap time was recorded on multiple GPS systems.

The previous record had been 2:17:12.

"As a blue-collar kid growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, I used to lie awake at

night thinking about my racing hero, Jim Hall, his latest innovations and the

technology-packed Chaparral cars his team built," said Kevin Czinger, Founder

and CEO of Czinger Vehicles and Divergent 3D, the company revolutionizing the

car manufacturing industry. "The era and the AI-based and

sustainability-focused technologies available are different but the animating

spirit remains the same – living the American Dream at speed – no-limits, Texas

style. Thank you, Bobby Epstein and COTA team, for creating and running an

awesome American raceway that keeps the Jim Hall tradition of innovation and

extraordinary performance evolving onwards and upwards!"

Czinger will showcase the record-setting 21C during this month's Formula 1

weekend at the Club Sports Illustrated venue in Austin.

Lukas Czinger, VP of Operations, added, "Czinger Vehicles is an American

company. This company designs, manufactures and assembles in California. We own

all the IP, America owns all the IP, but we also represent the American

attributes and spirit of inclusion and opportunity. Our team has come from all

over America and the world to join us. And when we thought about tracks that

represent this company, that represent this Made-in-America Story, The Circuit

of the Americas was a compelling choice. We're grateful for our time in Austin

and look forward to many more days on this track."

Czinger will showcase the record-setting 21C during this month's F1 weekend at

the Club Sports Illustrated venue.

About the Czinger 21C

The Czinger 21C, the first model in a series of fully homologated, exclusive

performance vehicles – production will be limited to 80 cars – was created in

part using additive manufacturing technologies. Each component manufactured

using this technology is computationally engineered using AI, optimized for

weight and performance, and is beautifully finished by hand. Czinger's

proprietary manufacturing technologies, in-house developed powertrain, and

iconic design will guide its future family of vehicles and enables the design

and engineering team to unlock performance and styling not before seen in the

automotive industry. Of significance, the 21C V8 is designed to use a range of

fuels, including carbon recycled methanol and other e-fuels, so it can be run

as a zero-emission vehicle.
