Rimac has published a short teaser video of its
Geneva-bound hypercar, offering a glimpse at the vehicle’s exterior design.
From the front, the new car bears a striking
resemblance to the existing Concept_One but looks even more purposeful with the
adoption of slightly slimmer headlights, a much larger front splitter, and air
vents on the hood.
While the front looks familiar, the rear appears to
be a significant departure from the Concept_One with redesigned taillights
immediately noticeable. Additionally, the video reveals that the hypercar will
have a rear wing which deploys at speed. It may also double as an air brake.
Our sources suggest that the hypercar will come
equipped with a large 120 kWh battery pack, providing more juice than the
Concept_One and allowing for a greater range. Considering power for the
Concept_One sits at 1224 hp and 1180 lb-ft of torque, it’s entirely possible
the Croatian automaker’s latest offering will have upwards of 1500 hp on tap.
The resulting performance figures should be
absolutely wild. The sprint to 100 km/h could very well be achieved in
less than 2.5 seconds while the top speed will soar well beyond 200 mph. Rimac
also claims the hypercar will have Level 4 self-driving abilities. It will be
unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show on March 6th.
