Czinger 21C debuts at Concours on<br />

Savile Row with H.R. Owen<br />

The Czinger 21C hypercar will be making<br />

its first public appearance in the UK at the<br />

inaugural Concours on Savile Row event in<br />

the heart of London. In partnership with<br />

H.R. Owen – exclusive UK dealer to Czinger<br />

– the 21C will be displayed outside Norton<br />

& Sons tailors for the duration of the show.<br />

The 21C sets new standards in both<br />

engineering and design. It is propelled by<br />

the most power-dense production internal<br />

combustion engine the world has ever<br />

seen, pairing a 2.88-litre twin-turbocharged<br />

V8 petrol unit with an 800-volt electric<br />

drive system, to produce a peak power<br />

output of 1233bhp.<br />

That astonishing power is distributed<br />

across all four wheels via a seven-speed<br />

sequential transaxle gearbox which, in<br />

a car weighing just 1250kg, equates to<br />

devastating performance. The 0-62mph<br />

sprint is dispatched in 1.9 seconds, while<br />

0-186mph takes only 8.5 seconds. A top<br />

speed of 253mph is possible.<br />

Czinger has developed a ground-breaking<br />

build process to enable it to push the<br />

envelope of hypercar performance with<br />

the 21C. Czinger’s patented human-AI<br />

design process ensures every component<br />

of the car is optimised for performance,<br />

weight and packaging. For example, the<br />

front upper control arm is hollow with<br />

3D-printed internal structures allowing it to<br />

achieve significant weight savings without<br />

affecting performance. This attention to<br />

detail and obsession with perfection has<br />

been applied throughout every aspect of<br />

the car, each and every component is a<br />

bespoke work of art.<br />

Thanks to its outstanding power-to-weight<br />

ratio the 21C has already set a production<br />

car lap record at Laguna Seca, beating the<br />

McLaren Senna by two seconds. At Circuit<br />

of the Americas, the 21C also holds the lap<br />

record, having beaten the previous holder<br />

– the McLaren P1 – by six seconds.<br />

Just 80 examples of the Czinger 21C will<br />

be built, available to customers in two fully<br />

homologated specifications; a lightweight<br />

high downforce configuration and a low<br />

drag configuration for top speed.<br />

Those hoping to see the Czinger 21C can<br />

find it at the Concours on Savile Row; a<br />

celebration of automotive and tailoring<br />

excellence taking place at London’s worldfamous<br />

Savile Row on June 15 - 16.<br />

The iconic street will be closed to traffic to<br />

display some of the world’s greatest cars,<br />

including the 21C which can be found near<br />

Norton & Sons, bespoke tailors and shirt<br />

makers since 1821.<br />

H.R Owen, the UK’s leading luxury motor<br />

dealer group, is proud to have recently<br />

been appointed the exclusive UK retailer<br />

to Czinger. Czinger is the latest addition<br />

to H.R Owen’s partners, which include<br />

Ken Choo, CEO of H.R Owen, said: “It’s<br />

an honour to be partnering with the<br />

Czinger team to debut the 21C in the UK<br />

at the Concours on Savile Row. It’s a great<br />

opportunity for us to begin introducing this<br />

trailblazing brand to the people of London,<br />

in one of the most suitable settings. The<br />

bespoke craftsmanship that underpins<br />

the design and engineering of the 21C is<br />

perfectly mirrored in the tailored creations<br />

of Savile Row. It will be a celebration of<br />
