Rimac Teases New Electric Hypercar

Croatia’s Rimac Automobil will unveil a follow-up to its all-electric Concept One hypercar at the Geneva auto show in March.

The new model promises to outperform the $980,000 Concept One, which pumps out a heart-stopping 1,224 hp and 1,180 lb-ft of torque. Powered by a 92-kWh lithium-iron phosphate battery and four electric motors, that vehicle can sprint from zero to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 220 mph.

Rimac produced only 10 copies of the Concept One, which was launched in 2016—several years after the initial prototype was unveiled. A 100-unit production run is targeted for the new model. The company hasn’t revealed the car’s name, but says Concept Two isn’t an option.

In addition to being more powerful, the new hypercar is expected to outdistance the 205-mile driving range of its predecessor. Rimac says the unnamed model also will be more comfortable.
