The 21C is powered by a 2.88 liter twin-turbo V8, which supported by two electric motors develops a combined 1,250 bhp, enough to get it from standstill to its near 400 kmph top speed in just 29 seconds. In line with a sustainable production method, the car runs on methanol that's extracted for biomass, making the 21C's emissions carbon neutral.
