About Czinger

Czinger is a hypercar company that is really a manufacturing revolution in disguise. Founded by Kevin Czinger in Los Angeles, it grew out of Divergent Technologies, a sister company that uses computer-generated designs and 3D printing to create lightweight, complex structures that would be impossible to make by traditional methods. Its first car, the 21C, was revealed in 2020 as a showcase for that technology, and it proved that additive manufacturing could produce a chassis strong and light enough for a serious hypercar.

The 21C is unusual in almost every way. Its driver and passenger sit one behind the other, as in a fighter jet, inside a narrow body designed for minimal drag. Power comes from a compact twin-turbocharged V8 developed in-house, combined with electric motors for a total output of well over 1,000 horsepower, and the engine revs to remarkable heights. The car has set lap records at American circuits such as Laguna Seca, earning credibility among enthusiasts who were initially skeptical of its unconventional approach.

Production of the 21C is limited, and an open-topped Spyder version has followed. Czinger competes for buyers with Koenigsegg, Rimac and Bugatti, but its greater significance may lie in Divergent's work supplying printed components to other high-end carmakers, which brings Czinger's technology to a wider audience. The company has signaled that it intends to grow beyond a single model, using the same printed structures and in-house powertrains to build a broader family of cars.

This page covers reveals, deliveries, lap records, technical deep dives and news about Divergent's partnerships with other manufacturers. Watch for the next Czinger models, new record attempts and how the company's printing technology spreads through the industry, from hypercars to mainstream vehicles. Czinger's story is one of the more intriguing in the modern car world, an experiment in whether a new way of building cars can change how the entire industry thinks about weight, cost and design, and whether a small Los Angeles firm can lead that change.
