Czinger Wants To Steal The Nürburgring Record From The Mercedes-AMG One

Czinger says it’s targeting a Nürburgring Nordschleife record with the 21C, building on fresh production-car marks it has already set in the U.S. The Los Angeles-based company, speaking with Road & Track, says co-founder and CEO Lukas Czinger has gathered track data and sees the “Ring” as the next major goal. The 21C uses a twin-turbo 2.9-liter V8 plus three electric motors for a quoted 1,250 horsepower. Czinger believes it could challenge the Mercedes-AMG One’s production-car lap record, though it’s not yet booked for a formal attempt.
