Congrats on the record. It also shows what a great car the Senna is. The Senna is track focused but a street car. It can hold a passenger and can do normal car things. Not sure this new car is even in the same category. The F1 battery cell is probably half the price of a Senna. With all that aero and tech no wonder it’s faster. It’s definitely a beautiful piece of engineering though! Nice to see an American company pushing the limits.

[@lioneldherine6230]

Yes and I can't stop thinking about the fact the Senna is running on Trofeo R, not Cup R nor Supersport RS. So its laptime would definitely be improved with those tyres fitted. I'm not impressed by that record, the car is lighter and far more powerfull than the Senna. Thiw shows how far McLaren has gone with the Senna for a road legal car.

[@thedalillama]

I agree with you. They have to start somewhere. Like you, it appears we appreciate people that are trying and achieving. It's inspiring. Pretty sure you would need to do at least 10% better than the Senna for this to make sense... unless one just has crazy money. Hopefully, the world is rich enough to keep these funded.

I'm not impressed either. I could buy a Radical SR8 that is road legal for a tenth of the price and run 1:18's at laguna seca.

I can only assume that neither the Senna nor this car can show its full potential on this track. There are too many slow/tight corners that lowers downforce because of low speed. Particularly that stupid corkscrew. But I only know the track from Sim Racing and I hate it for that reason. I'd like them to run a lap on the Nordschleife and then I'll give my judgement about the cars performance.

The Valkyrie meets homologation for Asia, Europe and Africa but not for US or AU although both regions have cars coming to them. AMG Project One and T50 I am not sure of either but I am almost certain cars are making their way to every market region regardless. In terms of performance on paper the JESKO should be the fastest after the Valkyrie but whether that checks out in reality is left to be said.

So, uh.... you guys sure about that whole "Lap record thing" You know, the whole thing this video is about. Because, it still says the Senna is the fastest in Wikipedia and I'm pretty sure you fellas have a race car right there. which would sort of disqualify the effort. Just curious to see if you had a response? Cool car gents.

[@budokpantai]

that's what I thought when I saw the car didn't have a complete interior. I don't think that was a production spec car.

[@LimitPro1]

@@budokpantai I think they are going performance first interior and design last.

[@budokpantai]

@@LimitPro1 if so I don't think they can compare the lap time with any production car. They need to go back with a production spec car.

[@budokpantai]

@PREDATOR21C what picture?

[@budokpantai]

@PREDATOR21C you can see that in the video when they show the cockpit. If you watch any video about their supposedly production spec car (in blue color) last year and compare both car interior, the one in this video is obviously incomplete. Considering your name, I think you should have known better.

That was nice introduction, thanks Mr. Czinger

Congrats, you beat a production street car time with a bespoke racecar 🙄

[@kdawghomie]

The Czinger is an (in progress) production street car.

@@kdawghomie but it’s not. Plain and simple. If McLaren pulled out the seats. All the weight for road homologation in would rinse this again. It’s an achievement but it’s going against a street legal car with a single seater custom car.

@@ultracar8715 only the 21c has beat it, of the cars you listed.

Great story. Great car. To do all this in SUPER expensive California is staggering. Designing & manufacturing a production car in America/California is the most difficult startup imaginable. The complexities, the regulations, etc. Looks like he’s getting momentum. That’s gotta feel great for him.

[@albertkelly7129]

sorry lap time isnt impressive at all given how focused this thing is. does look incredible though

[@damienthimonier4900]

Clearly ... a single seater, with a naked interior, only 2 sec beyond a Senna, with all the luxury, nearly 200kg more, and 400hp less. And i've searched for Radical SR8 or RXC track laps at Laguna, but don't seems to exist.

Dont think they were pushing the car hard enough since it's a prototype could be wrong tho.

[@waynewilson8291]

A big well done to you guys! Wishing you all the best!

[@asdrubalegirolamo660]

Congratulations, you have beaten the Senna by 2 seconds, a street legal car with two seats, interiors and air conditioning.

[@huzcer]

and "only" half the price of the Czinger at $1 million lol

[@Bigfoothawk]

They made only 500 sennas not really a production car. Yeah let's compare a new car maker to a 35 year old ultra high performance car company. Does that sound like an easy task. Grow up

[@huzcer]

@@Bigfoothawk nobody said that the senna was "mass produced" but 500 units is a lot more than a planned 80. The senna wasn't tailored / tuned specifically for this one race track either by a team of engineers.

[@asdrubalegirolamo660]

@@Bigfoothawk that's exactly my point, they shouldn't have compared the two because they are too different.

[@huzcer]

@@asdrubalegirolamo660 the upcoming Aston Martin Valkeyrie is closer in price and numbers to the Czinger but would destroy it I think!

Any track record matters. The ring is great but it's not like any other track. This track is a better representative of what most tracks are

[@damienthimonier4900]

@Paolo Dellacha Still need a production to be call a "Production cars". I've just seen a promise about 80 cars to be built, but i've not seen any real production of their car.

They could have put the full video of the record lap unedited at the end so we could see it in action!!!

This a great machine with kind of a tech from gt cars and f1 but am more impressed by senna doing" 87.6 seconds" being a street car and track focused

Love the effort I can clearly see went into this. Happy your getting results

[@benji928]

Look us Europeans have always looked down are noses at American cars, especially sports cars. But as a Brit I can say the design and technology of the car blew me away, massive respect for such a bold new company

[@azeQify]

This car is supposed to be with GT3 aerodynamics, has 1200+bhp while GT3 cars have less than half of it, raced on slicks and its still slower than a GT3. LMAO? Still alot of work to do for that junk

Amazing..Great respect 2 the whole team..the work continues.

America! 🏁 I was stoked when you guys first started production, and I'm genuinely giddy to see where this is going! Something tells me you're on the verge of something very important.
