While the spectacular exterior design of the Rimac
C_Two may be complete, the Croatian car manufacturer continues to refine the
all-electric hypercar before putting it into production.
One of the key challenges in creating the C_Two has
been to ensure that it meets homologation requirements for all major markets
around the world. During the early stages of the car’s ongoing two-year
development, engineers used a supercomputer for Computational Fluid Dynamic
(CFD) simulations that show how air flows around the car. According to Rimac,
modifications have been made to every one of the vehicle’s exterior surfaces
since aerodynamic testing commenced.
In creating the hypercar, the car manufacturer set
out to build the world’s most powerful and fastest accelerating production car.
Thanks to a combination of no less than four electric motors pumping out a
combined 1888 hp and 2300 Nm of torque, the C_Two will apparently
hit 96 km/h in a blistering 1.85 seconds, 160 km/h in 4.3
seconds, and reach a 412 km/h top speed.
Equally as impressive as the C_Two’s performance
specs is the fact that its huge 120 kWh battery pack with liquid-cooled thermal
management technology allows the vehicle to travel for 650 km on a
single charge. Rimac intends on building just 150 units of the C_Two, each priced at US$ 2.1 million.
