Veyron has an EV competitor?!!

Rimac introduces it's - Concept One, they are currently taking orders for 2013 deliveries. From four in-wheel motors, they claim 1,180 lb-ft of torque and a total of 1,088 hp!!, it puts in rarefied supercar league level. Acceleration figures, 0-100km/h in 2.8 secs and generous 600 km of range from a purely electric car. With a limited production run of 88 units, this would be clearly a seven-figure priced toy.

I like like their bumper sticker slogan, "Let's kick some gas...-powered butts!"

Thanks for sharing.

Jezza will make sure it'll 'run out' of juice before Power Lap time.

I like EV's.

That said, I WANT this one. I'm a sucker for a sexy car and this one, well, just look at it.

I just asked my wife, we dont have enough in the bank...

1088 HP, 92 kWHr battery, Nice lines. I wonder if we will see one on Top Gear?
