Czinger’s Hyper GT idea, a 1,250-hp four-seater proven in 2022, will probably be constructed, the corporate’s CEO has revealed.
In an interview with High Gear printed final week, Czinger CEO and founder Kevin Czinger mentioned the Hyper GT goes into manufacturing, and that it’s considered one of six autos the corporate desires to launch by the tip of the last decade.
Czinger did not say when precisely the Hyper GT will enter manufacturing, and it is probably not the corporate’s subsequent mannequin after the debut 21C hypercar. Final fall, Czinger mentioned the corporate might comply with up the 21C with a high-performance SUV much like the Lamborghini Urus.
The corporate is presently centered on finishing growth of the 21C, which will probably be supplied in track-focused Black Chook and high-speed V Max variations. It’s also centered on supplying elements, not solely to automakers like Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz, but in addition to the aerospace and protection industries, in keeping with the CEO.
Czinger 21C
Just like the idea, the manufacturing Hyper GT will doubtless use the identical hybrid powertrain because the 21C, although maybe with output dialed down from the hypercar’s most 1,331 hp. The powertrain consists of a bespoke twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V-8 and a trio of electrical motors. Within the Hyper GT idea, the powertrain was claimed to have a 1,250-hp ranking.
The car may also doubtless use the identical 3D-printing manufacturing course of because the 21C. This does away with tooling, meeting traces, and all the opposite costly trappings of conventional automotive manufacturing, permitting for extra flexibility. Primarily, all steel elements, together with some constructed from titanium and heat-resistant Inconel, are 3D-printed, whereas physique panels are constructed from composite supplies.
The 3D-printing manufacturing course of is sluggish, although. Czinger mentioned it would take round 3,000 hours to construct every 21C. In consequence, the corporate will stick with excessive low volumes for every of its autos. The 21C, for instance, may have a manufacturing run of simply 80 items.
