Rimac Automobili went even further and added
more power to Concept_One that doesn't even seem to need it.
The Concept_One ran past the Bugatti Veyron
in a drag race back when it hadn't even received its latest upgrade. Initially,
the Concept One was good for 1,088 HP (82-kWh battery pack), whereas later it
received a 90-kWh battery, boosting power to 1,224 horses.
That translates to a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 2.5 seconds, whereas 200 km/h happens in
6.0 seconds and 300 km/h in 14.0 seconds.
The Concept_One now on display at the 2017
NY Auto Show doesn't appear to have anything different about it compared to
previous iterations. Same dual-tone color theme with the red brake calipers
standing out like a sore thumb, but in a good way, obviously.
As you may know, there's also a Rimac Concept S to
consider, with no fewer than 1,384 horses and a massive 1,800 Nm of torque, though that one isn't quite as "street-friendly" as the
Concept_One.
The Rimac Concept_One will go on sale in the US,
Europe as well as the Middle East, to the delight of hypercar customers
everywhere.
