To be more precise, this unique electric hyper car is able to produce the almost unbelievable 1088 hp (800 kW) due to its 92-kWh battery. The latter powers four sets of electric motors, placed at each wheel. The great amount of power is produced easily because all four systems can operate independently and accelerate or decelerate hundreds of times per second. And Rimac has a name for this: All-Wheel Torque Vectoring (AWTV).

Given these facts it is no surprise that Concept One's acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds. In addition if you wonder about the top speed of the car, it is 190 mph. The kerb weight is 1850 kg.

The concept vehicle can be seen for the first time in the UK at Salon Privé in September.
