This guy's ambitions are in perfect order, so he plans to release 88 units at one million dollars each! But where will he get the funding to put the car into production? It turns out that the young company is also doing fine in this regard. Colombian Frank Yepes, an oil and energy tycoon, has already agreed to help the young talent. After all, he has already dealt with electric vehicles, as he sponsored a championship among electric sports cars, the so-called "Formula E." A second investor has also been found – Sinocop Resources Corporation from Hong Kong, which purchased a 10% stake in Rimac.
In addition, production is financed through prepayments from customers. The Croats have already received six orders. It is worth noting that Rimac itself is not a poor company. It owns the Greyp brand, which produces electric bicycles. Demand for this equipment is high and increases over time. The successes even force them to increase the staff at least twice.
The Rimac electric powertrain consists of four electric motors. Together they produce 1088 hp and 3790 Nm of torque. The car reaches the first hundred km/h in just 2.8 seconds, and the maximum speed reaches 305 kilometers per hour. The manufacturer's claims about a range of up to 600 kilometers without recharging are more than surprising. Only real tests of a production model will be able to confirm this value.
The creators are especially proud that the Concept One was fully developed and produced in Croatia. Moreover, Rimac is already planning to sell its own technologies to others. It is quite possible that the developments of Croatian engineers could be useful to other manufacturers of electric vehicles.
