The development history of Rimac C_Two is as follows

After delays caused by the coronavirus, Croatian automaker Rimac is preparing to begin production of its second-generation electric supercar, the C_Two. This documentary details how the C_Two was developed.

The successor to the Rimac Concept_One, the C_Two was presented in concept form at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show. At the time, the Rimac was capable of 1,1914 hp and 1,696 hp of maximum torque, 0-60 mph acceleration in 1.85 seconds, 1/4 mile in 9.1 seconds, and a top speed of 258 mph.

Rimac has continued development work since the concept car's Geneva debut, and "everything" has been changed for the production version, according to CEO Mate Rimac earlier this year.

In particular, Rimac spent time fine-tuning the driver aids: the C_Two will feature a drift mode, as well as advanced driver assistance technology that acts as a driving coach on the race track.

The production version was scheduled to be unveiled at the 2020 Geneva Motor Show in March, but the cancellation of the show and coronavirus-related turmoil forced Rimac to delay its public launch until later this year. The start of production was also pushed back to 2021, instead of 2020 as originally planned.

C_Two will be manufactured on a new assembly line that was completed in June. Rimac said at the time that prototype and pre-production vehicles were being built for additional testing and regulatory validation.

Despite the $2 million price tag, most of C_Two's 150 production slots were filled almost immediately after the concept car was unveiled in 2018. Rimac's technology may also find its way into other automakers' vehicles. Porsche and Hyundai have stakes in Rimac, and Hyundai plans to develop an electric car with Rimac; reports in September suggested that Rimac might buy Bugatti in exchange for Porsche's stake in Croatia's Rimac.
