VIDEO: Rimac teases new model before Geneva show

The 2018 Geneva Motor Show is just about on the horizon, and Croatian hypercar maker Rimac has released another teaser of its upcoming model. So far known by its ‘Concept Two’ working title, the new model is said to adopt Level Four autonomy and will boast of more luxury and greater performance.

As such, the ‘Concept Two’ will improve upon the Concept One’s benchmarks of 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, 200 km/h in 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 355 km/h, courtesy of outputs surpassing the Concept One’s 1,088 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque. According to the teaser footage, active aerodynamics will feature too.

Improvements to the electric powertrain will also grant the new car greater battery range, which is said to improve upon the Concept One’s 328 km reach. The Concept Two will become a car that remains “in a league with Pagani, Koenigsegg and Bugatti,” and will be priced about the one million British pounds commanded by the Concept One. A track-focused version and an open-top will follow within two years, Rimac added.

Before those arrive, Rimac has already unveiled a more track-oriented model in the Concept S, which does 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and 200 km/h in 5.6 seconds courtesy of less weight and increased motor outputs. The Concept S contrasts with the Concept One in having more aggressive aerodynamic elements, with fixed-back bucket seats and four-point harnesses for a harder track flavour.
