Czinger 21C is the new king of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which covered the 1.88-kilometer track in just 48.83 seconds. It is a limited edition of the super powerful car that dethroned last year’s champion Rimac Nevera.
The car is powered by a 2.9-L twin-turbo V8 engine assisted by two front-mounted electric motors, totaling 1,250 hp (932 kW) and 1,061 lb-ft (1,439 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a 7-speed sequential transaxle with hydraulic actuated multi-plate clutch that sends power to the rear wheels.
The video shows the new fastest production car, driven by Chris Ward, successfully completing the course, although at one point it made contact with a hay fence. Until now, the title of the fastest production car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed was held by Rimac Nevera with a time of 49.32 seconds. It is powered by four electric motors with a total power of 1,914 hp (1,408 kW) and 1,741 lb-ft (2,360 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in just 1.97 seconds with a maximum electronically limited speed of 219 mph (352 km/h). It is equipped with a lithium-manganese-nickel battery with 6,960 cells and a capacity of 120kWh.
Also, it should be noted that the fastest car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed ever was an electric single-seater, McMurtry Speirling, who set a record time of 39.08 seconds with former F1 driver Max Chilton.
