It’s not very often that hypercars emerge out of the United States but that’s exactly what the Czinger 21C has done and Top Gear’s Jack Rix recently had the opportunity to take an exclusive up-close look at the car.

The company is founded by a man named Kevin Czinger. That name may sound familiar as Czinger revealed what could be considered the predecessor to the 21C back in 2015 with a supercar concept that used 3D printing in construction. Before that, Czinger founded Coda Automotive, a small startup that briefly built an electric sedan in California before going bankrupt in 2013.

What makes the 21C particularly interesting is how it is constructed. As Rix reveals, many of the vehicle’s parts are designed by computers and 3D printed, resulting in a lightweight and modular design and helping to cut down on costs.

This clip also offers some previously-unknown details about the vehicle. One particularly interesting design choice is an exhaust with two outlets that are angled in such a way the car will be able to spit X-shaped flames. Now, that’s cool.

Rix also gets the opportunity to jump into the cockpit. Thanks to the tandem 1+1 layout, drivers sit right in the center of the cockpit while just behind them is a single seat for a passenger. It’s a design reminiscent of a jet fighter as well as the Spanish Tramontana.

Driving the Czinger 21C is a 2.88-liter flat-plane crank V8 with two turbochargers and supplemented by two electric motors at the front axle. All up, the car churns out 1,232 hp and weighs just 1,250 kg. Czinger says it’ll hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 1.9 seconds and a 268 mph (432 km/h) top speed.
