Czinger 21C at Laguna Seca: "Gone in 85 Seconds" 

And you will probably never hear of them again :D

He is probably saying the same about you lol.

Only 220k people has

Respect for what? For all I know it took five minutes for a lap. Look, I hear ya', it's just that they should have actually SHOWN the lap don't you think??? Wouldn't you have liked to see it, especially with the aerial photography capabilities they had? Take care, -Eric 🏁

2.8 million people know about this car either from Donut media RU-vid channel or from Top gear RU-vid channel .

I want 1 lap with cockpit view

@@simulatedreality4865 or... how's about *all the laps*

Right? Like they can't give us one fucking lap? Who made this video?

@@spendingtimetogether8428 SUPER GRATEFULL ....THANK YOU!!!!!

That would be the case with most preproduction/prototype hyoercars these days. There are disadvantages to 3d printing during volume production though. Also disadvantages with strength to weight compared to forged parts

3D printed = incredibly inefficient!

@@simonhill6267 but they could make "fancy" ( honeycomb nature inspired like) shapes designed by AI that you couldn't with forging (or much harder) shaving of the unnecesssary material so it's lighter with same stiffness.

Seen a factory tour last year on top gear the future is there

It looks really cool but seems overly expensive and complicated for what it achieves so far. Having no aero rules but being road legal, I think with such a budget it should be dipping into the teens itself.

I'd already labeled this a "paper car" the moment it was announced. But I will happily eat crow knowing this thing is real.

@@mig4868 Agreed!

I have no clue how they can develop for sooooo long and still survive without actualy selling any cars. Do they sell them self? Wtf.. get the car in the shops gad damn it!

Non-Europe developed cars are very very hard to sale if you aren’t a big company like Ford…. I guess in five years the company is down

@@joakimkn1 Koenigsegg took 6 years to develop the CC8S (1996-2002), which they only sold 10-15. Yet look where they are now.

Nothing like a bunch of yuppies moving in and wrecking everyone's fun.

@@Bozar069 We used to have a dragstrip in Fremont, Ca. (1.5 hours north of Laguna) right across from where Tesla is now. Was closed down due to the softies. Sad days.

I used to live right down Hwy 68 and would love hearing the Porsche or Ferrari clubs climb up past turn 6 on a Sunday morning.

Yes they point away from t6 sound check but I can guarantee they ain't doing no 90db (used to be 92db) limit like most track days. There are a handful of 103db days and my guess is they rented track for one of those. There are another handful of unlimited days but those are typically for the big events. Source: live near and have run Laguna plenty.

@@ZING-oj6zi Its even more bullshit when you remember that they all chose to live/build next to a dragstrip. Like the strip was here first go build somewhere else

Yes and I can't stop thinking about the fact the Senna is running on Trofeo R, not Cup R nor Supersport RS. So its laptime would definitely be improved with those tyres fitted. I'm not impressed by that record, the car is lighter and far more powerfull than the Senna. Thiw shows how far McLaren has gone with the Senna for a road legal car.

I agree with you. They have to start somewhere. Like you, it appears we appreciate people that are trying and achieving. It's inspiring. Pretty sure you would need to do at least 10% better than the Senna for this to make sense... unless one just has crazy money. Hopefully, the world is rich enough to keep these funded.

I'm not impressed either. I could buy a Radical SR8 that is road legal for a tenth of the price and run 1:18's at laguna seca.

I can only assume that neither the Senna nor this car can show its full potential on this track. There are too many slow/tight corners that lowers downforce because of low speed. Particularly that stupid corkscrew. But I only know the track from Sim Racing and I hate it for that reason. I'd like them to run a lap on the Nordschleife and then I'll give my judgement about the cars performance.

@@kreiseltower spa or Silverstone would be great too. Fellow sim racer here...I'd love to see it rip around a track where we could really see that aero put to work. Although the Nords is my favorite circuit

It almost sounds like a GP2/2017 F2 car, it's a glorious sound.

Can we all take a minute to thank Czinger for producing a bleeding-edge supercar in it's tech that actually sounds like it should? Sure, it may only go to people with lots of money, but every new car in the next ten years that is added to my list of exhaust clips to listen back to is a win in my book.

@@Rezcuz I am quite confident they are releasing it as a roadcar, otherwise why would it sit a passenger behind you? I also remember them saying it was explicitly a road car. Just because it looks like it doesn't mean it was only designed for the track.

@@Rezcuz 4:04 The prototypes are almost 10 seconds faster on laguna seca. So yeah their race stuff is ridiculous.

@@Rezcuz It's road legal

Record breaking ? I'm pretty sure they only beat production street cars in a car that is neither lol

It damn well will be production And not bad for some freelance manufactuer

@@VaunShiz Aww, somone didn't have their afternoon nap.

@@VaunShiz The car is road legal so yes it beat the fastest car on the track

This is also a road car

⁠@@eugenebeaty4142 yeah but this particular model is a very stripped race car, single seater, no amenities, race steering wheel

@@jackcumins6320 Road version is also one seater.

For some reason I feel like it wouldn't have the top speed for it

agreed.....nurburgring is the benchmark

@@MLG_1738 you do realize this car goes 281 mph right

@@ericship8383 Does it? I saw it goes that speed in a low drag configuration. Don't know how well it would corner like that

or maybe spa as well

2021 and flying cars aren't standard modes of transportation but this age of mega super hyper vehicles is a renaissance and continued passion in a quest to push the boundaries of what can be created. It's a great time to be alive and witness.

Never been there in person, but I used to drive it on the old PS2 in Gran Turismo. Would nearly always go flying when I came into that corkscrew turn. Quite a track.

It's not. This is a road legal car. It's entirely homologated.

Both are track cars that are homologated for road and while probably not comfy can be daily driven. It shows how amazing czinger is, they beat McLarens ultimate track car (and mclarens been making fast cars recently) by 2 seconds with only 3 attempts and it’s their first car they’ve ever made

@@Truex007 no, the one they used in this lap record is the track only variant

@@Truex007 it is not fully homologated it hasn't done crash tests doesn't have airbags orvany safety at all doesn't follow regulations so just as every american hypercar nothing to follow and doesn't do shit outside the country.

@@hugo-pg5tv How do you know it has no airbags and hasn't done crash testing? Provide evidence.😂

He's obviously talking about the design, manufacturing and assembly being based in california.

America is multi cultural…..

@@terminalarray1047 That does not inspire confidence. Sure, it's better than Chinesium, but Cali is not known for its quality

…imagine being surprised at diversity in California…

It's always been that way. The truly best American cars have always had British ingenuity in them. If anything, it tells me the American owner knows what he's doing. Also, the brit could LIVE in cali now.

Thank you 🙌

Michelin street tyres

Actually last year donut media dropped a video on this car, great content from that channel 👍🏻

just some JDM kids bragging U.S cars can't turn

They didn't show the lap...

It was a tesla fan boy

This is just another fake american hypercar just like the ssc tuatara.

@@ultracar8715 tf

It’s an AMERICAN car company, I stopped watching the video right there, the Senna is from McLaren a European car manufacturer, that being said, Americans can make rockets, satellites, go to Mars if they want, but please stop trying making cars. It’s not exactly their field of expertise.

@@GTS18 it’s absolutely their(America) field of expertise.

@@GTS18 Who are you to say that? They're one of the prime leaders in car manufacturing, mainstream, performance, or otherwise. This car is slated to be a street legal production car, like the Senna. And to be faster than the Senna on a track that really doesn't favor high horsepower vehicles is extremely impressive. If you're deadset on comparing races (kinda weird), I would say Europeans could learn a thing or two from the Americans or Japanese and actually make a damn reliable car lol.

@@GTS18 Quit gatekeeping you weirdo

@@weasle2904 there is not a single reliable american car and this track is only for high speed cars.

It's carbon fiber; good luck.

Three components: Aero is comparable, Weight is comparable, Power is comparable....plus GT 3 cars are not road-legal and the Czinger is (in California !)

@@kenmcanally4354 No it's not.. not even close.

@@kenmcanally4354 1250 hp for this and 800 odd for the Senna. It's a sad comparison

@@iwishyouwould1781 courtesy of Motor Trend Magazine: “Just 80 Czinger 21Cs will be made, priced from $1.7 million, plus taxes. Although the Divergent 3D process enables dramatic reductions in development and manufacturing times, each 21C will be meticulously hand-finished and hand-assembled at the company's Los Angeles-area plant, taking more than 3,000 hours to complete. The car is also 50-state legal in terms of both emissions and crash ratings and will also be able to be legally sold in Europe.”

@@kenmcanally4354 Interesting.. I still find it hard to believe. I think "legal in terms of both emissions and crash ratings" leaves a lot of room for other regulations it's lacking. It doesn't appear to have airbags which are required, I could be wrong. Thanks for the info tho.

If I remember correctly I saw it quite a while back on Jay Lenno's Garage and it should be based on the Mitsubishi Evo engine 4G63... 2.0l 4 cylinder. Dont know though if the displacement and stuff remain the same. Also greetings from Germany. xD

@@Mighty_Marty Ahh okay, dann werd ich mir die Sendung mal anschauen ❕ Hab von dem Projekt nur am Rande mitbekommen... 😁

@@Ramsi-Berlin War auch hier auf RU-vid... Der Kanal heißt auch so. 😉

@@Mighty_Marty Joo, Jay Lenno's Garage is mir bekannt... aber trotzdem Dankeschön ❣️👍🏼😅 Is schon krass, was mit 3D Druck heutzutage schon möglich ist, was ❔ Is schon ziemlich Raumschiff Enterprise mäßig 😅

@martin H. @ramsi Kühn there's some too gear videos and articles on it. The original concept in the Jay Leno video did use a Mitsubishi 4g63 but the engine in this particular version of the car is supposed to be a 2.9L twin turbo V8

I doubt it's still 4g63t based, pretty sure that's just the engine they ran in the concept car many years ago when it was still called the blade

figured we should do both!

Just 300 Hp… thats nothing ^^

😂 😂 😂

Uh what? What category is the Senna in?

@@PersonaN007Grata road legal.

@@PersonaN007Grata um a full fledged production car ? And the senna is road legal ? 🤪🤪

@@VaunShiz I think the senna is road legal

This car is slated to be a road legal production car. Not sure where all these clueless comments are coming from

It seems odd that they targeted a production car's lap time. Would be more interesting to compare it to an actual race car.

@@cvgsqueegee i was thinking the same, their car isn't in the same category as the senna. this car looks more like an race/lmp car than a road legal car. i would compare it to the new toyota hypercar if they create a road going version of the hypercar.

I was at the previous test and have checked the car over. It's about the same type of car as the Senna (i.e. a jewel). It has nothing in common with an LMP style car. Also, it's on DOT rated tires.

Good as they are, none of them will beat an actual race car that's designed only for racing. Tires, suspension setup, aero, steering, race cars are specialized for lap times.

@@srinitaaigaura no shit

@@srinitaaigaura The Valkyrie already does because it's pretty much a prototype race car already. The Jesko is left to be tested and we'll the 21C is damn well close as well. Get used to a world where track weapon hypercars are basically race cars with numberplates.

on paper, I think Jesko is disadvantaged here since it's a world wide homologated car, and I don't think 21C is with such design (the one in this video didn't even have proper interior). Valkyrie is obviously not (and probably just street legal in UK and countries like UAE). Still, I would love to see Koenigsegg prove that their Jesko can compete with the like of 21C, Valkyrie, T.50, AMG One, and so on.

@@budokpantai I am assuming this C12 is a prototype, we don't know what markets it's homologated for just yet but if you can homologate design for NA markets you can usually meet homologation for any market. The Valkyrie meets homologation for Asia, Europe and Africa but not for US or AU although both regions have cars coming to them. AMG Project One and T50 I am not sure of either but I am almost certain cars are making their way to every market region regardless. In terms of performance on paper the JESKO should be the fastest after the Valkyrie but whether that checks out in reality is left to be said. The T50 will no doubt the the slowest due to its drivetrain. It's not really built for raw performance but rather a pure engagement.

peasant lol

and "only" half the price of the Czinger at $1 million lol

They made only 500 sennas not really a production car. Yeah let's compare a new car maker to a 35 year old ultra high performance car company. Does that sound like an easy task. Grow up

@@Bigfoothawk nobody said that the senna was "mass produced" but 500 units is a lot more than a planned 80. The senna wasn't tailored / tuned specifically for this one race track either by a team of engineers.

@@Bigfoothawk that's exactly my point, they shouldn't have compared the two because they are too different.

@@asdrubalegirolamo660 the upcoming Aston Martin Valkeyrie is closer in price and numbers to the Czinger but would destroy it I think!

It runs on roads in the UK.

@@The-Celestial I didnt know Czinger has even sold any cars, yet alone one running in the UK

@@chubscub well now they will

that's what I thought when I saw the car didn't have a complete interior. I don't think that was a production spec car.

@@budokpantai I think they are going performance first interior and design last.

@@LimitPro1 if so I don't think they can compare the lap time with any production car. They need to go back with a production spec car.

@PREDATOR21C what picture?

@PREDATOR21C you can see that in the video when they show the cockpit. If you watch any video about their supposedly production spec car (in blue color) last year and compare both car interior, the one in this video is obviously incomplete. Considering your name, I think you should have known better.

Clearly ... a single seater, with a naked interior, only 2 sec beyond a Senna, with all the luxury, nearly 200kg more, and 400hp less. And i've searched for Radical SR8 or RXC track laps at Laguna, but don't seems to exist.

@@damienthimonier4900 2 seater

Dont think they were pushing the car hard enough since it's a prototype could be wrong tho.

The Czinger is an (in progress) production street car.

@@kdawghomie yes, but this 21c is not even road legal.

wait and see all I can say

@@kdawghomie but it’s not. Plain and simple. If McLaren pulled out the seats. All the weight for road homologation in would rinse this again. It’s an achievement but it’s going against a street legal car with a single seater custom car.

@@ultracar8715 only the 21c has beat it, of the cars you listed.

Nordschleife is overated.

Any track record matters. The ring is great but it's not like any other track. This track is a better representative of what most tracks are

@Paolo Dellacha Still need a production to be call a "Production cars". I've just seen a promise about 80 cars to be built, but i've not seen any real production of their car.

@@miguellopez3392 sure that’s why every big or serious car manufacturer tests their cars their….smh

@@allensaunders449 sooner or later only the ring time matters believe me their you can compete with all the big names
