Czinger, the California based automotive company, created a 3d printed hypercar named the ‘21C.’ Nearly all of the parts for the car were created using 3D printing techniques, including the suspension wishbones, front crash structure, windshield, as well as the dashboard. The 3D printed hypercar is comprised of carbon fiber and aluminum materials. However the car will limit production to only 80 models, and each one will be priced at $1.7 million.
The car is powered by a hybrid engine that features a 2.88-liter twin-turbo v8 that can produce 1,250 BHP. The 21C can also accelerate to speeds of 60 Mph in under 2 seconds and has a top speed of 248MPH.
