Key takeaways

  • The Czinger 21C has set a production-car lap record at multiple venues.
  • Some people believe aliens taught the ancient Egyptians how to build the pyramids.
  • The Czinger set yet another racetrack record, this time on its first lap out.

Why this matters: an automotive development that could shape industry direction or buying decisions.
