Rimac Nevera

Vorlage:Infobox electric vehicle

Rimac C Two is a semi-autonomous all-electric sports car designed and manufactured by the Croatian automotive manufacturer Rimac Automobili.[1] Unveiled at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, it is the automaker's second car after the Rimac Concept One and is described as a significant technological leap, dubbed "a car alive with technology". The exterior was designed by the Croatian-born Adriano Mudri.

Rimac plans to produce 150 vehicles[2][3] and is currently in the process of homologization for the global market.[4] The first deliveries are expected to take place in 2020.[5] The price is unconfirmed, but rumors estimate a price of Vorlage:Currency.[6] By 28 March 2018, the company has stated it had sold nearly all of its 150 planned units, with an added average 500,000 Euros woth of options.[7]

Features and specifications

With an alleged top speed of 412 km/h and Vorlage:Cvt[8], the car is claimed to be capable of reaching 60 mph from a standstill in 1.85 seconds[9][10], making it potentially one of the fastest accelerating cars ever made.[11][12][13] While also advertising a maximum range of 650 km (402mi) on the NEDC cycle[14][15], it will also be able to complete two consecutive laps of the Nürburgring with a negligible drop in performance.[16] Rimac claims the car was designed to be very durable and could be driven hard. In addition to this, the car is technologically capable of Level 4 of autonomous driving[17] with full Advanced driver-assistance systems[18], and is unlocked using face recognition technology.[2] If connected to a fast charger, it could be recharged to 80% in less than 30 minutes.[19] The car features an entirely new design and does away with the conventional doors, now incorporating butterfly doors instead.

Reception

Vlad Savov of The Verge criticized its looks by describing them as "anonymous and unexciting", and comparing them as less flamboyant to that of Lamborghini Huracan. However, he admitted that the car is "more forgiving and accommodating than most other hypercars", but stated that the readouts on the infotainment were too distracting.[20]
