Rimac Automobili

Mate Rimac is one of the most important single figures in the electric vehicle revolution, and has achieved some truly extraordinary things at the tender age of 32. He spoke with New Atlas over a Skype line in the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown.

Merry Christmas, lovers of exotic electric hypercars! Rimac and Lotus have released road and track footage, respectively, of two of the world's most powerful cars, both of which are set to roll out in 2020.

Rimac, maker of some of the most extreme electric sports cars the planet has ever seen, is about to get its fingers into the mass market pie through a US$90 million investment from Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia.

No car design studio has a more compelling portfolio than Pininfarina, so expectations have been sky-high for the first car to have that famous logo on the back of the car as well as the sides. So sit back and enjoy our first look at an Italian electric hypercar masterpiece for the new age.

Rimac has unveiled a special California edition of its C_Two hypercar. The C_Two, which debuted earlier this year in Geneva, is an all-electric beast capable of 258 mph (415 km/h) and (eventually) level four autonomous driving. The new California edition adds room for two champagne bottles.

We speak with Automobili Pininfarina’s CEO, Michael Perschke​ and Chief Design Officer, Luca Borgogno at the American brand launch in New York, gaining unprecedented access to the company’s philosophy and product road map of sustainable luxury electric cars.

Along with crazy concept cars, insane hypercars keep folks coming back to the Geneva Motor Show year after year. This year is no exception, seeing everything from the world's quickest electric sports coupe to several cars designed to be the all-out fastest production cars ever built.

Ladies and gents, we present to you one of the fastest cars ever built. Rimac's new electric hypercar boasts a top speed of 258 mph (415 km/h), nearly 2,000 horsepower, face recognition locks on its gull-wing doors and level 4 autonomous driving if you're a little intimidated. Which you should be.

From practical new hatchbacks to ground-hugging hypercars with tight links to the world of Formula 1, 2016 has had its share of exciting new automotive announcements. In terms of pure speed, these 10 production cars sit at the top of this year's class.

Electric vehicles were the story at last year's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, with the eO PP03 beating out the Rimac E-Runner for a 1-2 electric finish. Rimac and Nobuhiro Tajima are teaming up again and hoping to come out on top.

Rimac has put together the most electrifying booth in Geneva, quite literally speaking. Next to the 1,088-hp Concept One supercar is the even faster, more powerful Concept S, the One's "evil twin," along with a matching, unleashed version of the Greyp G12S electric bike.

Better late than never, Rimac Automobili's Concept-One all-electric hypercar is not just a concept anymore, with Rimac set to unveil a production version of the car at the Geneva Motor Show next month
