If you haven\u2019t heard of Rimac Automobili, you will today. The Croatian car manufacturer is known for developing electric sports cars, most famously the Concept_One, a car that was in the news last year after The Grand Tour<\/em>\u2019s Richard Hammond escaped a crash during a shoot in Switzerland. The Concept_One is in itself, a mind-bending culmination of performance numbers – 1,224 hp, 1,600 Nm of torque, 2.5-second century sprint and 355 km\/h top speed. Turns out, they\u2019ve topped those numbers with their latest car, the C_Two.<\/p>\n

Just like the Concept_One, the C_Two\u2019s performance numbers are looney \u2013 1,914 hp, 2,300 Nm of torque, 1.85-second century sprint and a 412 km\/h top speed. The C_Two has been made from the ground up and features a full carbon fibre monocoque with bonded carbon roof, integrated battery pack and merged rear carbon subframe.<\/p>\n

Since each individual wheel is powered by an electric motor, a pair of single-speed gearboxes apply drive to the front wheels while another pair of two-speed powers the rear wheels. Despite all that power, Rimac says that the C_Two has a 650 km range, another win for the EV category.<\/p>\n

Aerodynamic Efficiency<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Flaps in the hood alter the car\u2019s aerodynamic profile, while the rear wing adopts different positions according to loads as well as a full air-brake during heavy braking. Flat underbody and active rear venture ensure its aero efficiency and stability at speeds. The wheels itself provides cooling air to the braking system.<\/p>\n

Future Tech<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Advanced autonomy and the Driving Coach configuration can overlay selected race tracks in real-time that when applied, offers audible and visual guidance on racing lines, braking and acceleration points and steering input. Talk about cool video gaming experience with real-world application.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Furthermore, the same artificial intelligence will provide intervention and active safety as advanced\u00a0 driver-assistance system on the road \u2013 from collision risk prediction to automatic emergency braking and evasive control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist and fully adaptive cruise control with traffic pilot functionality.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tech list includes eight on-board cameras, lidar, six radar emitters, twelve ultrasonic sensors, GPS and IMU sensor for autonomous driving, the C-Two will generate six gigabytes of data per hour with the computer power of 22 Macbook Pros on board.<\/p>\n

Facial recognition can be the key to unlocking and starting the car, on top of reading moods and reacting accordingly to the driving situation.<\/p>\n

Will Tesla\u2019s Roadster be able to match the C-Two\u2019s similar zero to hundred time?<\/p>\n
