The 21C High-Downforce is featured on the cover of MotorTrend’s Summer 2026 issue celebrating America’s 250th.
As part of the publication’s “State of American Performance” story, the 21C set a production car lap record at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway on its first lap, then completed a four-day road journey across Southern California with journalists rotating behind the wheel. The week concluded at “The World’s Greatest American Drag Race”, where the 21C claimed victory over the Corvette ZR1X, Mustang GTD, and Lucid Air Sapphire in half-mile.
MotorTrend’s verdict: a “deeply serious car” showcasing technology that “could democratize the car all over again.”
