history

The Concept_One was presented for the first time at the International Motor Show 2011 in Frankfurt am Main and at the Paris Motor Show 2012 in Paris . A car was already delivered to a Spanish customer in January 2013. Eight vehicles were sold by October 2014. The Concept_One will cost $ 980,000 , with only 88 vehicles to be produced.

The Concept_One was the official zero-emission vehicle of the race director of the FIA Formula E championship 2014/15 . Among other things, the race director used it to check the race track before the start of the race.

In 2015, Rimac took part in the Pikes Peak race with a 1 megawatt electric vehicle . The vehicle took second place across all classes. The driver was the multiple Pikes Peak winner Nobuhiro Tajima. An electric car also took first place in the overall standings.

The car was continuously developed. The final version and the successor version Rimac Concept_S were presented at the Geneva Motor Show 2016.

As part of the filming of the Amazon Prime show The Grand Tour , a prototype was destroyed on June 10, 2017 by Richard Hammond , one of the three presenters. At the end of a demonstration run at the Hemberger hill climb , he lost control of the vehicle for an unexplained cause and rolled over. Hammond was able to free himself from the car and suffered an injury to his knee; shortly afterwards the vehicle went up in flames.

specification

The speed is limited to 300 km / h. Each wheel is driven by a liquid-cooled, permanently excited electric motor and accelerated or decelerated separately via a computer system according to the set setup and the current driving situation.

The energy storage is a 90 kWh lithium-ion battery (lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt-oxide) with which the car has a range of 500 km. The body is made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic .

In the final version presented at the Geneva Motor Show 2016, some values ​​have been further improved: The maximum torque is 1600 Nm. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.6 seconds, from 0 to 200 km / h in 6.2 seconds, and from 0 to 300 km / h in 14.2 seconds. The electronically governed top speed is now 355 km / h.
