The Rimac Automobili Concept One costs almost as much as a Bugatti Veyron, and runs as clean as a Nissan Leaf. And for approximately $1 million dollars, you can be one of the lucky few to own this 1088-hp electric-powered exotic. Only 88 will be built in total. However, with all due respect to Rimac, given the car’s stratospheric price tag and wild spec sheet, we can’t imagine demand far outstripping supply.
Engineered and built in Croatia, the Concept One has four motors, one mounted in each wheel, which propel the car from 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds. Special lightweight rims have been developed by HRE Wheels to specifically accommodate the motors and performance potential of the car. Top speed is listed as 189 mph. Driving range is estimated at a very impressive 372 miles, though it remains to be seen how long that charge lasts if you’re really gunning the Concept One. Typical electric cars have a range of roughly 100 miles, or less.
Then again, for almost $1 million bucks, you should get triple the range offered by a Nissan Leaf or Ford Focus EV, right? In case you agree (and didn’t flinch at the asking price), the order book for the Concept One opened earlier this month at the Top Marques supercar show in Monaco.
