FIRST LOOK: Czinger 21C: the world’s first 3D printed hypercar | Top Gear

The Czinger 21C is a 1,233bhp 3D printed hypercar complete with a turbo V8 revving to 11,000rpm, a 1+1 layout and $1.7m price tag. Oh, and the big news is it’s 3D printed. Well, large sections of the chassis are, paving the way for a revolutionary new car manufacturing process that could change… everything. It’s mind-blowing stuff, so let Jack Rix be your guide around California’s Koenigsegg rival.

Those 3D printed suspension parts looked like a work of art. Hopefully this company makes a name for themselves amongst the others!

[SucmaBolz]

Can we just appreciate that someone finally made a small flatplain V8 engine that revs up to 11k rpm ( in 2020), and it's not a Ferrari engine
This thing is unrealistically good

[SammyM]

I don't know who funded this guy and his project, but it's a game changer.

[marcovanderpoel]

The car is secondary. The real value is the technology they develop. Imagine what it all can be used for. Extremely impressive.

"You wouldn't download a car"
Czinger: *OBSERVE*

[SgtoSousuke]

Czinger: Let me tell you the science behind this car
Jack: Wow, the exhaust looks like an X!
Czinger: Yes, little boy! X, like the X-men! This car has superpowers!

[michakreie]

This is actually super impressive if those perfomance claims are legit.

I just bought a 3D Printer, downloading this Hypercar now, at a fraction of the 1.7M price tag. 😈

What this proves, if they start shipping out cars with no problem, is that Elon Musk was correct when he stated that the most important development in the automotive industry is not the car, but the factory that builds it, the machine that builds the machine as he puts it.

Imagine a completely automated, 3D printing module that is infinitely scalable and can produce whatever car you want 24/7 without ever slowing down, no need to tear down the old production line to build a new one in preparation to start producing the new car model, what you have here is a super fast, super scalable, dead accurate car production that you can switch to a completely different car, with no problem, as long as you feed it its blueprints. Revolutionary.

5:45 - "Interestingly, this car is supposedly quite hard to write off..."

Richard Hammond: "Hold my beer..."

[BenjaminMutuku]

Breakthrough engineering of 3D printing. This is impressive and scary too. Future of car making 🚀

[UltraHeavyShadow]

"25 track vehicles, followed by another 65 fully homologated vehicles."

"So that's 80 vehicles."

[coreykononchuk]

The first time I've been more impressed by the factory than the car itself!

[CzingerVehicles]

Loved having you, Jack and the TG.com team. See you soon!

The idea of a tandem seat car is something I’ve always seen as the best way to make a hyper car. It just feels right, like look at bobsleighs, it’s all in-LINE for weight and aerodynamics. I love Czinger for this, they took a big step in the right direct of pure speed.

[mrzee]

I want to hear that engine, also I'm in love with the suspension shape and from.

“Unlike anything I’ve ever seen before”


As soon as I saw it I thought it was a brand new Gumpert Apollo😂

[eduardoseitz]

Imagine how scary it feels to be in the back seat at 200mph.

[Polarwolar]

Features like this should be on the Top Gear Tv show. I love how entertaining the show it buts it definitely missing this sort of technical insight beyond the standard car Top trump facts.

[luislebronaponte]

Wow.
This could actually help improve every car that exists and will exist, in my opinion.
