Concept Two beats all speed records

An attraction at the Geneva Motor Show, the Rimac Automobili Concept Two, the world's fastest new electric hypercar, was unveiled to the general public. Completely different from Concept One, the new car delivers 1914 hp with a torque of 2300 Nm and reaches 100 km/h in 1.97 seconds, the fastest acceleration for a car in the world. With a top speed of 412 km/h, it exceeds the Concorde at take-off! Manufactured entirely in Croatia, near Zagreb, it has a range of 650 km without recharging, thanks to its lithium and iron phosphate batteries, and can run without human intervention.
