Specs say nearly 500km range.... but at what speed, was what I'm wondering. How long can it do, say, 250km/h for? It's cool that it gets there so fast, but if then you need to charge after 3 minutes because the battery pack had to be small to get the acceleration so high, then there wouldn't be much of a point.
- sundvor 3y agoAny car regardless of propulsion will have its range slashed pushing that much air, so I don't quite see the point of the question? Battery pack is a very large one, at least by Model 3 standards. Details are in the article.
- tromp 3y ago> How long can it do, say, 250km/h for? Presumably well under an hour, with air resistance increasing quadratically. > because the battery pack had to be small Its 120kWh battery is quite large by industry standards, even exceeding that of the Lucid Air.
- doikor 3y agoUsually some standard like WLPT (or NEDC before it came around) is used. Though Rimac does mention on their site that proper WLPT testing has not been done yet so the "final" range will be updated later. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldwide_Harmonised_Light_Vehicles_Test_Procedure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldwide_Harmonised_Light_Veh... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_European_Driving_Cycle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_European_Driving_Cycle Also I highly doubt the battery can even discharge fast enough to fully run it out in 3 minutes.
- jackmott42 3y agoThere isn't anywhere you can go 250km/h for 3 minutes anyway.
- rad_gruchalski 3y agoI know of a couple of places but indeed, not many.
- lucb1e 3y agoWith that attitude, there's no point commenting in a thread about a car that goes 400km/h
- BizarroLand 3y agoI bet if you timed it well you could do more than that on the Nevada 375, aka the Extraterrestrial Highway. There are many straight, nearly flat, multiple mile long strips down its nearly 100 mile long stretch that doing 155mph/250kph would be feasibly safe, including a 10+ mile stretch between Rachel and Warm Springs. 155mph/60 minutes * 3 minutes = 7.75 miles, so you could probably get pretty close to 4 minutes of 155mph with little if any danger.

- nicwolff 3y agoYou can see in the video on that page that the SoC% drops from 80 to 71 during that one run to 412km/h...
