Rimac Concept_One 2011

[Firehuntah]

Fastest electric supercar, definately earns a place in Gran Turismo in my opinion. It might not be the best looking supercar (it still looks good though I think) but it's coming pretty close to the Bugatti Veyron in terms of performance (only topspeed is electronically limited at 305 km/h). It's definately proving that an electric drivetrain is capable of beating an internal combustion engine. Has great range as well if you somehow manage to drive this car slowly.

The interior.

Some more info about this car in this video.



And some specifications.

• Power output: 1088 hp
• Torque: 1600 Nm from 0 to 6500 rpm
• Acceleration: 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) 2,8 seconds
• Range: up to 600 km (realistic range – 500 km)
• Weight-to-power ratio: 1.79 kg/hp
• Weight distribution: 42% front, 58% rear

• Total length: 4548 mm
• Total width: 1997 mm
• Total height: 1198 mm
• Ground clearance: Rear: 115 mm, Front: 105 mm
• Wheelbase: 2750 mm.
• Dry weight: 1950 kg

Even though the name says concept it's actually being produced (hand-made) but it's made to order because of the pricetag of $980K. They produce almost all of the parts for this car in-house.

Oh, interesting.

Will there be any plans of making real versions of the car for the market?

 

[Mercedes190e]

I think not, because the company does not have enough money but I think they started to look for a partner

 

[Mikathechaos21]

Car is on the market, but only way to buy it is to contact factory directly!

 

[citroengt1]

Yes, oh God yes!

 

[Wardez]

Merging threads, this one serves as the main.

 

[citroengt1]

This must be in GT6, it must be.

 

[Firehuntah]

I don't mind if it'll be in GT6 or not, but I'll be very sad if they won't include it in GT7. PD definately has interest in electric/hybrid cars as there are quite a lot of them in GT6 already. So I'm hoping they're interested in getting the Rimac Concept_One into the game as well.

Here's a nice quick video of the Rimac Concept_One vs Ferrari 458 Spyder.



The Ferrari driver does seem a bit slow though but still great to actually see that amazing torque of the 4 electric motors in the Rimac.

 

[Firehuntah]

They made one in blue, looks a lot better in my opinion.

And some onboard video. It's not as silent as the usual electric cars, I actually like how it sounds.



Keep voting if you like this car and want to see it in Gran Turismo!

 

[GBalao888]

I bet if this car were in GT6, the speed of this car will be unrealistically high, like 400+km/h as opposed to its 305km/h limit.

The worlds first Electric Supercar!!

 

[citroengt1]

Blue? Holy sh**, it is gorgeous!
A sight for sore eyes!

Rimac Concept_One '11

​

Rimac Automobili is a Croatian company that develops and produces high-performance electric vehicles, drivetrain and battery systems. Rimac Automobili's first model, the Concept One, is known as the world's fastest production electric vehicle

The Rimac Concept_One's body is made from exposed carbon, that not only indicates its production technology and materials, but also help the car to keep a very low weight.

The bodyside features a unique, symmetrical appearing feature that gives the car a strong identity and clear distinction, while the duct is the abstraction of the tie, that is an original Croatian product.

The concept’s interior is the work of the leather-specialists Vilner. They have developed a driver-focused interior, with the cabin tailors designed around the driver, while the high-end infotainment system keeps the driver entertained and informed about the vehicle’s systems.

The Concept_One uses a unique powertrain divided into the front and rear sub-system, each of them including two symmetrical motor-controller-reduction-gearbox units. This system will control each wheel independently. This system develops a total of 1,088 HP and 1080.1 lb/ft of torque and will sprint the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 2,8 seconds, while top speed has been limited to 305 km/h.

...That blue one is effing cool. And 1000+ foot pound of torque?? Bye bye, tires.

 

[CORRUPTEDDISC]

I want to see more EV's on GT, above almost all else (the only thing I want more is the return of the Espace F1).

 

[BunBunMaru]

Croatian car needs to be represented in Gran Turismo. And Driveclub also showed it's possible to get a license from Rimac.

DriveClub got one of the best car lists a video game could get, it's full of cool obscure cars people have hardly ever heard of. 👍

It probably only loses to Gran Turismo 2.

I heard the sound of this in buenos aires in formula E is very loud

 

[Inferno251]

Shame they're only making 8 of these (the 2016 version)
