Czinger has confirmed the gullwing-doored four-seat Hyper GT will go into production

“It’s going to go into production,” says boss Kevin Czinger when we ask him about the four-seat Hyper GT that his company first teased back in 2022.

“We wanted to deliver fully crash-certified, fully emissions-compliant 21Cs in 2023, so that was 100 per cent my focus,” he continues. “Also, we have companies like Aston Martin and Mercedes as customers now and half a dozen major aerospace and defence customers too.

“The only one of those that has been announced publicly is General Atomics. We’re their manufacturing partner for some F16 fighter jet-sized drones. We took a drone that had 184 fuselage components and we reduced that to four. We reduced production time from 12 days to 12 hours. They released all of this information, and very rapidly all of the big aerospace companies came to us to ask how we were doing it.”

“Long term, Czinger is always going to stay low volume and high performance as a brand,” says Lukas – Kevin’s business partner and son. “But we’re developing new technologies, new engine layouts, new gearboxes, new EV motors, new casings and new cooling systems. Eventually that will all come to the mass market.

“But Czinger will always be one step ahead on the bleeding edge, and we’ve already got our next vehicle more or less fully designed from a packaging standpoint. It’s going to be quite a remarkable car. Hyper GT is one option, I can’t say more than that.

“But I will say that our goal is to build maybe six very unique vehicles by the end of the decade.”

This sounds very exciting indeed. The 21C uses a combination of a 2.9-litre V8 and two electric motors for four-wheel drive and a 1,233bhp figure, and we initially speculated the Hyper GT could follow suit. Interestingly though, that might not be the case.

“We’re going to stay low volume but we’re also going to stay very differentiated,” says Lukas. “As opposed to what you see with lots of other brands where they kind of take what they had and tweak it. They change the platform a little bit and change the body but try and use most of the chassis. We have the flexibility of printing completely new parts. That means we’re not going to platform share. Each vehicle will be completely unique.”

So, the powertrain could actually remain the same, but there are clearly big plans for Czinger as a company. Anyone want to place a bet on what the four other cars could be?
