Well, past is past, but the speedo boys still associate Rimac with The Grand Tour because of the accident. Still, with them moving on from the TGT shock, they brought us another electric hypercar that follows the footsteps of the CONCEPT_ONE, the one Hammond crashed on The Grand Tour. Say hello to the C_Two.
Obtained from the recent Horizon Playlist by all means, the second outing of Rimac Automobili is all about following the CONCEPT_ONE's recipe, delivering shocking thrills with zero emission impact on the environment, making this electric hypercar something to get your hands on, unless you don't want to be like Richard Hammond of course.
With the 120kWh liquid-cooled battery pack and four electric motors bolted in all four wheels, the Rimac C_Two is capable of unleashing 1,914hp of power and 2,300Nm of torque. It is capable of hitting 0-100kph in less than two seconds and onwards to 412kph of top speed, that's Bugatti territory for a zero-emission electric hypercar made in Croatia. Not bad. Apart from the electric powertrain, the sleek aerodynamic design made it capable of hitting 0.28 cD in low-drag mode, and beneath the skin lies a full carbon fiber monocoque with bonded carbon roof, integrated structural battery pack, and rear carbon subframe, making it very light and very rigid by hypercar standards.
The C_Two features the world's most cutting-edge technology no hypercar possesses, including the Driving Coach feature that guides the driver with its racing lines, braking/acceleration points, and steering inputs, which reminds us of what setting Forza first-timers do before setting off. It even comes with R-AWTV which replaces ESP and TCS and enables infinitely variable dynamic responses by feathering the torque to each wheel.
Well, while there is so much to explain about the C_Two, it's off to some driving impressions, and because being a hypercar, it takes some expert level of driving to tame this silent but terrifying monster machine. The launch is more than enough to embarrass the Koenigsegg Agera RS, the speed king in this game, but handling one is no easy task, therefore drivers need to have some adequate judgment to master such a machine.
At this rate, I wanted to stretch its powertrain to see what's it all about the C_Two but since all the road courses across Britain are fully booked and because Fortune Island is too much of a challenge, I went to something awesome to flex its electric muscles.
Welcome back to LEGO Valley, where everything is awesome, and because I have plenty of races to take care of during my LEGO adventure, this is the perfect place for the Rimac C_Two to show its spark.
Because LEGO Valley has a racetrack in the northwestern part of it, this is the ideal location for this electric hypercar to let loose and it's time for some shooting hoops. Yes, hoops. We're going oval. Roll the tape.
Definitely, one of the tensest races ever done but the Rimac survived.
The Rimac C_Two may have the same DNA as the one Hammond crashed on The Grand Tour but such power, acceleration, and speed will not go unnoticed. It may be tricky to handle like most ultra-powerful hypercars in the world but the Rimac C_Two is more than enough to rack up the points and blow the competition away in a straight line, whatever it takes.
Now, at this point, I was going to call it a day so I can spend my precious time getting to know about the Rimac C_two, but before I had the chance, I got a bit of a problem...
Now I know what is like to be Richard Hammond...
