The 1,914-Horsepower, All-Electric Concept Two

Edited By: Jake R.

Font Size:

A+ A-

Hearing someone say “it looks like something out of science fiction” is such a cliché, but that saying definitely applies to this incredible new all-electric hypercar, the Rimac Concept Two. It’s the successor to the small Croatian manufacturer’s Concept One model (which Richard Hammond, of Top Gear and The Grand Tour fame, destroyed one of seven in existence in a hillclimb accident), and its claimed performance figures are truly biblical.

Rimac claims that the car produces 1,914 horsepower, can reach 60 mph from standstill in 1.85 seconds (or five blinks of an eye), and will max out at no less than 258 mph. What’s more is that it can travel up to 400 miles on a single charge.

Inside, the Concept Two is significantly more comfortable than cars in its class, not requiring the driver and passenger to use the “butt-first” technique to sit down in it! There’s sumptuous soft leather all over the place, as well as a rather conspicuous tablet in the car’s center console.

The car’s wheels also act as aerodynamic devices to cool down its carbon-ceramic brakes and help with airflow down its flanks. Furthermore, the tires are also specially-made for Rimac by Pirelli. Up front, the Concept Two’s headlights feature 58 LEDs each. The taillights have built-in air outlets to further aid the car’s aerodynamics.

Other aerodynamic trickery can be observed on the car’s hood, as well as at the rear – its rear wing moves to provide extra downforce or serve as an air brake when required. This highly-sophisticated car also features Level 4 autonomy for when you just can’t be bothered to drive, facial recognition for both unlocking and starting the car (as opposed to using a key), voice control and pre-loaded racetrack maps to use in the event that there is one nearby…

Rimac has not yet revealed the Concept Two’s price, or how many of them will be built, but you can bet that it will cost seven figures. It’s rumored that 150 Concept Twos will be produced in all, which would massively outstrip the outgoing Concept One’s production run of just eight cars.

Evidence of Rimac’s technological prowess is popping up everywhere in the automotive world, contributing its know-how to hypercar royalty such as the Koenigsegg Regera and Aston Martin Valkyrie, as well as on Jaguar’s E-Type Zero concept.
