Czinger 21C Blackbird Edition Is a Tribute to the Record-Setting Spy Plane

Czinger has unveiled the latest version of the 21C hypercar, known as the Blackbird Edition. This special edition pays homage to the iconic Lockheed SR-71 “Blackbird” spy plane and shares its reputation for record-breaking speed. The Blackbird Edition is distinguished by its all-black color scheme.

The original Czinger 21C made its debut in early 2020 and set a lap record of 1 minute and 25.44 seconds at the WeatherTech Laguna Seca Raceway in California. It surpassed the previous record set by the McLaren Senna. The 21C features a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter flat-plane crank V8 engine and two electric motors, which together generate 1,250 horsepower. The Blackbird Edition raises the power output to 1,350 horsepower, thanks to an increase of 100 horsepower. The car’s power is delivered to all four wheels through an all-wheel-drive system.
