Czinger 21C V Max with 1,350 HP

In 2021, the American company Czinger presented its first supercar, the Czinger 21C. Two years later, at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the fastest version of this model, the Czinger 21C V Max, arrives on the European market for the first time.

21C V Max is powered by a 2.88L twin-turbo V8 engine combined with two electric motors with a total power of up to 1,350 hp (993 kW). Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed sequential transmission with hydraulic clutch.

The car is finished in Golden State of Mind orange (California poppy, a flower that blooms in spring and is why the hills are this color), and is inspired by the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane, including the layout of the dashboard, carbon fiber chassis and two centrally positioned seats (passenger seat behind the driver). This setup maximizes aerodynamics, reduces air resistance and provides about 2.5 tons of downforce at a speed of 322 km/h. Inside, carbon fiber bucket seats are upholstered in dark leather with orange stitching.

Czinger C21 is a super fast car with the best time of the Laguna Seca track. It is powered by a 2.88-liter V8 engine, with rear-wheel drive, and two electric motors that deliver a total of 1,250 hp at 10,500 rpm. Power to the rear axle is transmitted via a seven-speed sequential transmission with hydraulic clutch. Weighing 1,250 kg, this hypercar reaches 62 mph in less than two seconds with a top speed of 280 mph (450 km / h).

In addition to the C21 V Max, Czinger is also developing a four-seat coupe called the Hyper GT.

2007 Koenigsegg CCGT GT1 sold for £3,319,000

Two decades ago, the Swedish manufacturer of supercars, Koenigsegg, unveiled its racing car, the 2007 Koenigsegg CCGT GT1, which it intended to compete in GT1 racing. After several years of development, only one example was produced, which has now been sold at auction for £3,319,000.

2007 Koenigsegg CCGT GT1 Competition Coupé is for sale

This unique supercar is powered by a 5.0L twin-turbo V8 engine with 600 hp (441 kW), paired with a sequential gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 371 km/h (230 mph).

With a length of 4,293 mm, a width of 1,996 mm and a height of 1,120 mm, it has a wheelbase of 2,660 mm. It is built from carbon-fibre/Kevlar on a Monocoque chassis. It’s mounted on pristine slick Michelin tires, and the Masters Historic Racing organization has given the next owner the “green light” to race in the Masters Endurance Legends series if he so chooses.

The development team was led by engineer and developer Dag Bolenius, while the test driver was engineer Loris Bicocchi. The project looked great, but production never happened, and the reason is that two months after the start of test drives, the FIA and ACO changed the rules for the GT1 class. Instead of producing 20 production examples over a period of several years, it was necessary to produce 350 cars per year. This was apparently too much for Koenigsegg and the project could not survive.

Mick Schumacher in Michael Schumacher’s F1 car at the GFS

German Formula 1 driver Mick Schumacher at the Goodwood Festival of Speed drove two Mercedes cars in the suit of his father, seven-time Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher.

At the end of the last F1 season, Mick burned the tires of his car because it was his last race for the Haas team. The people on the team didn’t like it, so they asked him to stop doing it. “Sorry Mick, can you stop doing that, seriously? I’m sorry, but we just can’t do that. Sorry,” was the message to Schumacher from his pit.

Mick was a little sarcastic saying, “Okay. I love you too.”

After that, Mercedes offered him the position of reserve driver, which he accepted. Team boss Toto Wolff hasn’t forgotten what Haas did to Mick, offering him to drive his father’s car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Mercedes posted a photo on social media with the caption: “Ok Mick, you can make donuts” and added a fire emoticon to represent burning tires.
