Czinger Vehicles was founded in Los Angeles in 2019 by visionary entrepreneur Kevin Czinger and his son, Lukas Czinger, who also serves as the company’s COO. Engineered with the unmistakable innovation and style of Los Angeles, the brand is an evolution of Divergent 3D, its sister company and the driving force behind the revolutionary technologies powering the 21C hypercar. With over 600 patents, Czinger is redefining the future of automotive manufacturing.
Revolutionizing Automotive Manufacturing
Kevin Czinger’s mission to disrupt the auto industry began with a fundamental realization: the way cars are built has a greater environmental impact than how they are fueled. Determined to change this, he founded Divergent 3D, developing a patented, sustainable, high-performance production system.
By integrating automated design software, 3D printing, robotics, and proprietary high-performance materials, Czinger has pioneered a manufacturing ecosystem that dramatically reduces environmental impact while maximizing performance.
An Exclusive Conversation with Lukas Czinger
Born in London to a German mother and an American father, Lukas Czinger grew up with a deep fascination for speed and engineering. His passion culminated in the creation of the Czinger 21C. Lukas joined the company at age 22, and by 28, he became COO, playing a key role in the brand’s strategic and operational direction.
The Czinger 21C: A Symphony of Innovation
The Czinger 21C is more than a car—it is a outright revolution in automotive engineering. Designed and manufactured in Los Angeles, the 21C features a hybrid powertrain combining a bespoke twin-turbo V8 engine with three electric motors, delivering a staggering 1,250 horsepower. This state-of-the-art engineering allows it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 1.9 seconds, pushing onward to a top speed of 219 mph.
A defining characteristic of the 21C is its 1+1 seating configuration, inspired by fighter jets, where the passenger sits directly behind the driver to enhance aerodynamics and symmetrical driving dynamics.
Unprecedented Customization and Personalization
Czinger offers a wide range of customization options, from a luxurious GT-style interior to a track-focused package featuring a high-performance exhaust system and racing harness. The design team meticulously reviews each build, ensuring every vehicle aligns perfectly with the owner’s vision.
Thanks to advanced 3D printing and additive manufacturing, Czinger can take customization further than traditional brands. Customers can opt for one-of-a-kind components, such as fully customized 3D-printed wheel centers and bespoke interior elements, making each 21C a truly unique masterpiece.
Pushing Boundaries with Advanced Technology
The Czinger team has developed a revolutionary suite of design and manufacturing tools, integrating supercomputing, AI-driven engineering, next-generation materials, additive manufacturing, and robotics. This cutting-edge approach completely eliminates traditional automotive design constraints, unlocking an entirely new era of structural innovation.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Czinger Vehicles
While the 21C represents a landmark achievement, Czinger’s ambitions go well beyond a single model. The company aims to leverage its proprietary technology to revolutionize the wider supercar and hypercar market, developing future vehicles that embody the exact same spirit of innovation, sustainability, and extreme performance.
Lukas Czinger emphasizes the core brand vision: to permanently establish Czinger as the premier American-engineered hypercar brand, consistently pushing the outer boundaries of what is possible in performance automotive design.
