context_page_description: Rimac Automobili is a Croatian car manufacturer headquartered in Sveta Nedelja, Croatia, that develops and produces electric sports cars, drivetrains and battery systems. The company was founded in 2009 by Mate Rimac with the vision to create the sports car of the 21st century. Rimac Automobili's first model, the Concept One, is known as the world's fastest production electric vehicle. While manufacturing and marketing high-performance vehicles under its own brand, Rimac also develops and produces battery packs, drivetrain systems and full vehicles for other companies. The Applus+ IDIADA Volar-E is an example of the solutions Rimac Automobili is able to deliver. During the 88th Geneva International Motor Show in March 2018, the company unveiled its second and latest model, the C Two.
context_section_description: The Concept One is an all-electric battery-powered sports car. With a curb weight of 1,850 kg, and a power output of 960 kW (1,305 PS; 1,287 hp), the Concept One can reach 100 km/h from a standstill in 2.6 seconds and continue to accelerate to a top speed of 355 km/h (221 mph). 92 kWh of energy in the battery modules deliver enough thrust to permit a 600 km of range. The car was first unveiled in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, when some parts were contracted to other companies. The production version was introduced in 2016.
  A production of 88 units was initially stated, which was later limited to 8 units, all of which were sold. The first car was delivered to an anonymous Spanish customer in January 2013. First car was for Spanish company Applus+ IDIADA, called the Volar-e, Second buyer is Dr. Paul Runge, which is also one of the shareholders of Rimac automobili.
  The battery cells are supplied by Sony, with wheels being supplied by HRE Performance wheels, developed in collaboration with Rimac.
  Almost all of the materials are produced in-house, and none of the critical components used in the vehicle are off-the-shelf. The current design team includes former designers from Pininfarina and Magna Steyr, while the exterior of the car was designed by Croatian designer Adriano Mudri.
  Rimac's goal for the Concept One is to simply make the best electric sports car in the market. For this reason, the whole car is developed around the powertrain and battery-pack. Gear changes or clutches are not needed and due to the electric drivetrain, the reaction time is instantaneous. The batteries are located under the floor of the vehicle together with the other heavy propulsion components, choice that permits to achieve a low center of gravity and a better handling of the car. One full battery charge, that only requires 30 minutes on a 200 kW power supply station, can operate the vehicle for around 510 km (320 miles). Rimac chose to manufacture and sell an exclusive volume of 8 units of the Concept One.
