Electric powertrain developer and manufacturer of one of the most insane hypercars in the world, Rimac, have teased a successor to the already bonkers Concept One. The Concept One is the electric hypercar that Rimac currently produce, albeit in very limited numbers, and has already proven to be the best in its class by destroying almost everything else - including the likes of the Porsche 918 in a straight line drag race.

Rimac also provides the powertrain for the likes of Koenigsegg and Aston Martin for their respective electric hypercars.
