Czinger 21C is the fastest production car at Goodwood Festival of Speed

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.

Lotus Evija X destroyed at Goodwood Festival of Speed

Another annual motorsports festival, the Goodwood Festival of Speed, has come to an end, where we saw the premieres of several new cars, as well as the Lotus Evija X’s attempt to set the fastest track time.

The Lotus Evija X is a limited edition super powerful electric car that set the third fastest lap time at the end of April on the most famous track in the world (Nurburgring Nordschleife). The 20,830 km (12,943 mi) long course Lotus Evija X finished in 6:24,047, which is slower than the Volkswagen ID.R (6:05.336) and the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo (5:19.546).

At this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, the British car manufacturer tried to set the fastest track time, but an accident occurred and the cause is currently unknown. Automotive journalist Harry Metcalfe believes that it could be a problem with computer software, which is very possible because even a small interruption of one of the four electric motors is enough to push the hypercar off the track. However, there is also a chance that the driver caused the accident by pressing the gas pedal more than he should have.

Lotus Evija X is powered by 4 electric motors, 1 placed at each wheel, with a total power of 2,011 hp (1,500 kW) and 1,257 lb-ft (1,704 Nm) of torque. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in under 3 seconds, from 0 to 300 km/h (190 mph) in 9.1 seconds, and achieve a limited top speed of 349 km/h (217 mph).

Rimac Nevera was the fastest at the Goodwood Festival of Speed

The Rimac Nevera is one of the most powerful and fastest cars in the world, and at the current Goodwood Festival of Speed, it set a new record on the 1.86 kilometer track.

The Rimac Nevera 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.

Rimac Nevera achieved a time of 49.32 seconds, and it was also the only electric car. In addition to Nevera, there were also Dodge Viper GTS-R, Ferrari 488 Challenge, Ford Puma WRC, Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport, Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, McLaren M26, McLaren Solus GT, Nissan GT-R R32 and Subaru GL Family Huckster, and the fastest among them was the McLaren Solus GT, which covered the same distance in 45.34 seconds.

At the end of last year, the Nevera also became the fastest production electric car in the world when it reached a speed of 412 km/h (256 mph). Then the company said: “An incredible speed of 412 km/h is not something you do every day. When we decided to confirm this speed, we made sure we had everything we needed, a location that would give us enough space to reach speed and stop safely, the right tires that are in this case the Michelin Cup 2R, an expert to check their condition, a special Nevera aero profile that reduces the downforce at the front of the car balancing it for stability and a man on a mission to join the 400+ club, our test and development driver Miro.”
