Croatian firm Rimac Automobili used the recent Top Marques Monaco 2012 event to unveil the latest version of its Concept One electric supercar, which has been upgraded with tires from Dutch firm Vredestein.

While the addition of new tires, even those designed by Italdesign Giugiaro, isn’t all that exciting on its own, the big news is that Rimac’s concept one is available for sale, though anyone interested will have to fork over $980,000.

Rimac is currently taking reservations and deposits for a production version of the Concept One, which the company says will be limited to just 88 units in total and enter production next year.

For its staggering asking price, Rimac will deliver an electric supercar immersed in luxury and capable of 0-60 mph acceleration in just 2.8 seconds and top speeds of 190 mph. The world-beating performance figures, for an electric car at least, are courtesy of Rimac’s innovative quad-motor design, which has a combined output of 1,088 horsepower and 2,802 pound-feet of torque. :notbad:

Rimac also boasts that 92kWh of energy can be stored in the Concept One’s liquid-cooled batteries, which is enough to carry the car a distance of 372 miles on a single charge.

As for its unique tires, these are from Vredestein’s Ultrac Vorti series and were designed together with Giugiaro specifically for high-performance applications. The Concept One’s drive system, where each wheel is driven separately, requires a tire that can guarantee superior road handling and performance yet at the same time must look stylish.

The special rubber measures in at 245/35 R 20 (front) and 295/30 R 20 (rear) and is wrapped around a set of lightweight monoblock wheels from HRE.

We’ll keep you updated as development of the Rimac Concept One continues, but in the meantime enjoy this short video detailing the car’s propulsion system.

cars like these means death to manuals :(

chuck norris is getting bored with his hot wheels

forgot about this car thought maybe they gave up

i think they're asking way too much though

So does that mean it has 272hp and 700tq? Or are the combined numbers the actual power rating.

i think its as you stated 4 motors, 1 for each wheel? and for some reason they added them together for a "combined output"

I wonder how long those tires last with 2802lb/ft of torque powering a burnout

so the 2802 lb/ft of tq is gonna be from 0 RPM? that's how electric motors work right..?
if so :fulloffuck:

wow that shit is impressive! mind blasting torque figures :fulloffuck:

Still not interested. Unless I can work on it myself... or at least do basic stuf, no thanks. That being said if I had the cash to buy one I'm sure I'd have lots of other stuff to tinker with.

:failed:

^Thats how electic motors work though? All electic motors produce their peak torque off the bat no?

dude. at least do some simple googling before you spout off useless comments without any knowledge of electric motors.

Electric motors are somewhat different. The chart below shows max torque at 0 rpm i.e. when they are stalled; Max power is at 50% of peak rpm; Maximum efficiency at approximately 75% of peak rpm – 90% for a good brushless and additional curves for amps and current

said chart:

so.. you were saying?

go ahead state your arguments i like a good discussion. what i don't like is a simple 'fail' without any facts to back it up.

here's another graph for ya, tesla roadster power/torque curve:

see the left bottom corner? says 0? means 0 rpm. see the red line that means torque? its at 200 ft-lb when rpm is 0. hope you know how to read a chart.

Holy shit that's a beast.

Electrics really are getting better and better.

Well.. its the only way to stay green.

lol wtf.. it can go 598.675968 kilometers on a single charge... damn...
