Rimac Automobili

Croatian electric hypercar manufacturer Rimac has laid claim to the outright EV top speed record, at a blistering 258 mph (412 km/h), putting a 91-mph (146-km/h) gap on the highest speed we can find verifiably recorded for a Tesla Model S Plaid.

The sharp, exorbitantly fast Pininfarina Battista has officially made it into limited series production. The 1,874-hp electric hyper GT looks every second's worth the 1,250+ hours spent handcrafting each one.

The Quail is the stage upon which prestigious marques show their finest wares for the first time and while 2021 saw a bumper crop of new models, this event is more than a hypercar showroom, it is a celebration of automotive excellence spanning all eras.

There are a handful of cars capable of busting out a quarter-mile sprint in less than 10 seconds, straight out of the crate – but there's only one that can do it under nine. Rimac's all-electric Nevera has recorded an astonishing 8.582-second run.

The blockbuster hypercar business deal of the decade is now official: storied brand Bugatti, with its 112-year history of ultra-exclusive automaking, is now majority owned by 12-year-old Croatian electric hypercar upstart Rimac Automobili.

Rimac is leaving behind the "C_Two" pre-production moniker and charging forward with the production-ready Nevera, a next-level electric hypercar that rockets drivers from 0 to 60 mph in a bowel-loosening 1.85 seconds.

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.
