Czinger Vehicles, a Los Angeles-based manufacturer of high-performance vehicles, has established a UK base of operations at MIRA Tech Park, a mobility research and development campus in the United Kingdom. The move forms part of the company’s UK investment and expansion strategy and places Czinger within an established automotive engineering environment that supports vehicle development, testing, and validation.
Operations at MIRA Tech Park provide Czinger with access to the UK automotive supply chain, powertrain engineering expertise, and vehicle test facilities. The campus is operated by HORIBA MIRA, an engineering services organization that supports automotive and mobility programs through testing, certification, and research. Co-location at the site enables engagement with suppliers and engineering partners involved in drivetrain development, materials engineering, and systems integration.
The UK expansion builds on a technical relationship with Divergent Technologies, a California-based company that develops digital manufacturing systems for vehicle structures. Divergent has created an integrated platform that combines computational design, additive manufacturing, and automated assembly to digitally engineer and produce complex structures. According to the company, the system allows components to be engineered, optimized, and manufactured faster than conventional production methods, while reducing mass and integrating multiple functions into fewer parts. The approach operates without large-scale tooling investment and is designed to achieve unit cost parity with traditional manufacturing.
Company leadership described the UK base as part of a wider international footprint. Lukas Czinger, Founder, President, and CEO, said: “Czinger is a global brand with a vision that transcends borders, and we’re incredibly proud to have established our UK base of operations at MIRA Tech Park. This world-class facility provides us with the advanced infrastructure and collaborative ecosystem we need to push the boundaries of automotive innovation. Our presence here reinforces our commitment to building cutting-edge hypercars while contributing to the UK’s position as a leader in advanced manufacturing and automotive technology.”
Engineering leadership emphasized the operational implications of locating development activities at the site. Ewan Baldry, Chief Engineer at Czinger Vehicles, said: “Establishing a presence at MIRA Tech Park allows us to work alongside leading technology partners and leverage world-class infrastructure to bring our next generation of vehicles to life faster and more efficiently than ever before.” The statement reflects Czinger’s intent to use shared facilities and proximity to partners to support vehicle development programs.
From the campus perspective, Czinger’s arrival aligns with MIRA Tech Park’s focus on advanced mobility and powertrain engineering. Jack Bartlett, Head of Commercial and Partnerships, said: “Czinger represents exactly the kind of visionary, disruptive business that thrives at MIRA Tech Park. Their investment reinforces the UK’s position as a global leader in powertrain and advanced mobility development – and underscores our role as the location of choice for the future of mobility.” Czinger joins a growing group of automotive and technology companies operating from the site as the UK continues to attract investment in vehicle engineering and manufacturing research.
Czinger expands on 3D printed hypercar development
Previous reporting has shown that Czinger Vehicles applies additive manufacturing to structurally critical vehicle systems, including chassis, suspension, braking components, and powertrain housings. In a 2023 collaboration with Xtrac, the company produced a topology-optimized, 3D printed gearbox for road use in the 21C Hypercar. The gearbox was manufactured without tooling using a proprietary aluminum alloy, enabling part consolidation and rapid design iteration. Use of additively manufactured load-bearing components requires extensive durability testing, repeatability assessment, and regulatory validation prior to road certification.
Subsequent vehicle programs, including the Hyper GT, were developed using Divergent Technologies’ Divergent Adaptive Production System, which combines generative design, 3D printing, and automated assembly. Prior reporting emphasized that while the system removes tooling constraints and accelerates iteration, verification of structural performance and compliance depends on access to independent testing and certification facilities. MIRA Tech Park hosts vehicle testing, validation, and engineering services operated by HORIBA MIRA, infrastructure commonly used to evaluate advanced vehicle systems before wider industrial or supply-chain adoption.
