Oh! Intresting! Can you develop in DM?It's much bigger!

Looks like a very interesting interview, certainly a long one!

Also the Royal Blue Czinger 21C is in Barcelona, Spain ahead of the 4th of July celebrations I understand. We'll soon find out!

The central driving proportions look so good man! Also if you look at the digital pod it seems to have been replaced! I'll triple check, this was the latest video I have seen~
Edit it's in one of the pictures above! Nevermind. Smh!
So yeah, on a deep dive with this one for awhile. I Googled literally for 10 seconds and I found something else LOL!

A Look Deep into the Czinger 21C Hypercar
Bare bones: As exotic as the Czinger 21C looks outside, the real artistry is in the computer-printed parts within.
From the September 2023 issue of Car and Driver.
There's usually a trade-off between the cost of the machinery a manufacturer employs to make a part and the cost of producing the part itself. Companies can invest millions in expensive machinery to scale quickly and lower production costs, or they can save capital by investing in less pricey, but more time- and labor-intensive, tooling that makes it harder to produce parts en masse and at low cost.
Czinger Vehicles believes 3-D printing offers an alternative to this causal relationship. The nascent California-based automaker is putting its money where its mouth is by employing this production method on its 21C hypercar.
To 3-D print a Czinger involves a process called powder-bed fusion with selective laser melting. You start with a surface that's covered with powdered metal, then hit it with laser beams to fuse the powdered particles together to form a layer of metal into a pre determined shape. Czinger repeats this over and over, with an additional layer of metal fusing to the layer before it, until the part emerges.
Using 3-D printing allows Czinger to design and produce components that are lighter but no weaker than those built by other construction methods, according to the hypercar maker.
"We're designing these parts using a new form of computer-aided design," says Lukas Czinger, the chief operating officer and co-founder of Czinger. "We provide the size and load parameters and let the software create the part."
Plus, with no defined molds or presses, updating a part's design is quick and easy. "And there's no cost penalty for making a change," says Ewan Baldry, chief engineer.
According to Baldry, the largest 3-D-printed part Czinger currently produces is the 21C's transmission housing, which pushes the limits of the maximum 20-inch cube the automaker's 3-D printer can spit out. Going wider would require a larger powder bed, but Czinger has optimized its machinery for quick and accurate printing.
"We use a dozen one-kilowatt lasers that operate simultaneously to build parts 80 to 100 microns [0.003 to 0.004 inch] at a time," Czinger says. Building a 20-inch-tall part requires some 5000 layers.
Though 3-D printing takes time, it's no longer the lengthy task it once was. "Five years ago, our process could only fuse 15 to 20 milliliters of material per hour," Czinger says. "Today we're doing 300."
Czinger expects printing speeds to continue to increase. He anticipates that the company will soon be able to economically produce hundreds of thousands of 3-D-printed parts each year.
Not many 29-year-olds can put "co-founder of a hypercar company" on their résumé. Lukas Czinger can, though."

Yes.

Have they been delivered to customers?

Q4 2023 Q1 2024 was the last then latest information or confirmation I saw. They first one like the Lotus Evija might be getting "delivered" at the actual show or handover.
