Will This Rimac Hypercar Hit The Right Mark?

This Hypercar Will Run The Competition Off The Road

In the modern economy, very few automobile companies have had the pride to count great breakthroughs in their first decade of existence. At best, what we have seen with the likes of Tesla are very promising prospects denoting that the future is indeed bright for them.

Rimac may have only been on the motoring scene since 2009 but the strides it has made and the potential it shows in its chosen niche-the hypercar category is something they can be allowed to chest thump for. Its first production model was the Concept One, a 1,288-hp sports car capable of category-leading performance and a 375-mile range. Only 8 were built.

Rimac’s latest creation is an extravagantly loaded car named the C-Two, which boasts vital specs that read like something out of a futuristic concept vehicle destined for production in 2050. If you don’t believe this, keep reading.

The power output is a claimed 1,914-hp and it makes an immense 1696 lb-ft of torque. With this, the Rimac C-Two is able to hit 0-60 mph time with only 1.85-seconds.

This car also features a pair of two-speed gearboxes at the rear which allows it to make the most of its huge power and reach a claimed 258-mph top speed. The front wheels have single-speed gearboxes of their own and each wheel has its own electric motor, which means huge acceleration in even slippery conditions and the ability to actively manage the amount of power each wheel receives.

Rimac Torque Vectoring (R-AWTV) replaces the traditional traction control and stability management systems employed on other vehicles. The battery capacity is an impressive 120 kWh; liquid cooling keeps the 6,960 cells at optimum temperatures even under full acceleration conditions.

Rimac claims that the C_Two will complete two full laps of the Nurburgring with no discernible drop in performance. Both the exterior and interior designs are bespoke pieces of great craftsmanship.

Clearly, the C-Two concept will humble just about any competitor and chat new dawn in the hypercar category.
