Rimac C_Two

In a motor show that featured cars with some truly mental performance numbers, the C_Two was the most mental of them all: this fully electric hypercar claims 1408kW and 2300Nm combined output from its four electric motors, as well as a top speed of 412km/h, 0-100km/h time of 1.97 seconds, 0-300km/h time of 11.8 seconds and the ability – theoretically – to dispatch a quarter mile in 9.1 seconds.

By the way, all those figures are an improvement on the already epic Concept_One.

Range anxiety’s also a thing of the past with this Croatian creation, as the C_Two claims a driving range of 650km and the ability to ‘fast charge’ to 80 per cent capacity in just 30 minutes using a 250kW charger.

The monocoque body structure and panels are all carbon fibre, but aluminium has been used in the front and rear crumple zones.

Rolling on bespoke Pirelli tyres, the C_Two also features carbon-ceramic brakes and all-wheel active torque vectoring, which the carmaker claims is better than existing ESP or traction control systems.

Active aerodynamics includes a rear wing that can serve as an air-brake and even extends to the wheels, while there’s also active height adjustment and electronically-controlled suspension.

Despite being clearly a “driver’s car”, there’s enough hands-off assistance tech in the C_Two to apparently reach Level 4 autonomous driving standards.

Rimac plans to build 150 examples of the C_Two, which is ambitious, given that Concept-One production has reached just 8 so far. The first C_Two units are supposedly coming in 2020, with pricing expected to be at least $2 million.
