Rimac Automobili revealed its second electric
hypercar at the Geneva Motor Show, and its name is C_Two. As promised by the
Croatian manufacturer, the C_Two is significantly more powerful than its
predecessor as it offers a combined 1,888 hp and 2,300 Nm of torque from its electric motors.
The result of all this insane power is a 0-60 mph in
a breathtaking 1.85 seconds, a 0-100 mph in 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 412 km/h.
As with the Concept One, each wheel of the C_Two is
powered by its own motor, with Rimac using a set of single-speed gearboxes on
the front and a set of two-speed gearboxes at the rear. The four motors work
together via all-wheel torque vectoring. The whole drivetrain is fully
configurable, offering everything from shutting down any of the two axles to a
perfect 50-50 split.
Feeding the motors is a huge 120kWh battery pack
that features a liquid-cooled thermal management system, which keeps the
temperatures down on fast-driving conditions such as track usage. Rimac claims
a total driving range of 650 km on the NEDC cycle.
The new electric hypercar also features eight
on-board cameras, a pair of LIDAR, six radar emitters, a dozen of ultrasonic
sensors and an “exceptionally precise” GPS, with Rimac saying that the C_Two is
Level-4 autonomous ready. Artificial intelligence is also present, with the car
using facial recognition cameras to unlock and start without a key, and more.
Production of the C_Two will start later this year,
with Rimac planning to build just 150 examples. And just take a look on that
fire extinguisher.
