This is the Rimac C Two, a purely electric hypercar that thrives on mind-boggling numbers.
Beginning with the power, it makes 1408kW and 2300Nm. This comes thanks to four electric motors, one for each wheel. We’re already overwhelmed.
But that’s not all, because Rimac also claims it’ll hit 300km/h (yes, 300) in just 11.8 seconds. It will then apparently go on to a top speed of 412km/h.
“Rimac’s own suite of electronic control systems means that full torque-vectoring is available (and necessary!) to harness two and a half times the torque output of a contemporary hypercar,” the Croatian company explains.
“With such power comes responsibility: The C_Two is equipped with the latest braking technology. In addition to a maximum regenerative braking of 150 kW, huge 390mm Brembo CCMR carbon ceramic brake discs and six-piston calipers feature on both the front and rear axles, allowing for fade-free, powerful deceleration.”
It also uses facial recognition to allow the car to unlock, rather than a regular key.
Rimac recently gained a little bit of publicity after a crash involving one Richard Hammond and its Concept One. Hammond reached the top of a hill climb before sliding off and rolling the car over 100m down the hill.
A maximum of 150 C Twos will be built in total.
