Czinger Vehicles redefined innovation and performance in 2024
December 13, 2024
Czinger Vehicles has had an extraordinary year of achievements and milestones, garnering widespread attention and acclaim. From January to November 2024, we helped the brand reach an audience of over 4.1 billion people with an advertising value equivalent (AVE) of more than $154.5 million, and the momentum is only growing.
In 2024, the 21C shattered records across the globe, setting the first-ever officially validated production car lap time at Circuit of the Americas (COTA), reclaiming the crown at Laguna Seca and making history with the production car hill climb record at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Beyond the track, Czinger opened Area 21, a state-of-the-art production facility in California that represents the future of manufacturing. This cutting-edge space integrates human-AI collaboration and advanced 3D printing to transform revolutionary concepts into reality. Area 21 is not just a production facility but a beacon of innovation, designed to support the 21C and future Czinger models.
Another major highlight of the year's defining moments was customer car #01 delivery at The Quail during Monterey Car Week. This milestone marked a historic occasion for both the automotive industry and the Czinger family, heralding the arrival of the first of eighty hypercars that will change everything.
To amplify these successes, our team secured extensive media attention, with standout features from top outlets including The Wall Street Journal, which positioned the brand at the forefront of the industry. Autocar published a 4-page print article which also published online, describing the 21C as a marvel of engineering, stating, “There's surely no car, road-going or otherwise, being built right now, anywhere in the world, that can lay claim to such beauty in its engineering.”
Continuing the momentum, Road & Track called the 21C "a thunderclap for the car industry and manufacturing in general. It's a revolutionary project born from a heady concoction of hot-rodding mentality, Silicon Valley ambition and optimism, and a force of will and creativity." This in-depth print story featured a 12-page spread in their June/July issue.
Then, Newsweek emphasized Czinger's potential to revolutionize automotive manufacturing, saying, "Czinger is uniquely placed to have a major impact on the cars of tomorrow. With financial backing and confidence from some of the world's leading high-value vehicle makers, they are a company to watch."
Recently, TIME Magazine followed up on their recognition of the 21C as one of The 200 Best Inventions of 2023 by sitting down with Founders Kevin and Lukas in a video interview to explore Czinger's revolutionary AI and 3D printing technology, stating, "The 21C is a showcase of what's possible using parent company Divergent's end-to-end design and manufacturing platform."
