The company is also utilizing additive manufacturing to create a number of parts and components – which will be key in keeping vehicle weight down, and therefore improving speed and handling. The combination of these two technologies aims to ensure the use of exact engineering specifications that go beyond just measurements to include weight and performance-based attributes that will be used to build the cars, and constantly improve upon production processes. Each part created with AM will even be finished by hand. Czinger has taken the same care in developing their own all-wheel-drive hybrid powertrain, and a design that seems to combine an Indy car with a fighter jet.
