Looks like the range of this car, 310mi, is the same as Tesla's Model S on a full charge [0], but according to Rimac's main Wikipedia page [1] the range is 600k

Looks like the range of this car, 310mi, is the same as Tesla's Model S on a full charge [0], but according to Rimac's main Wikipedia page [1] the range is 600km (~373mi).
It is more than 10x the price of the Model S though. Perhaps, with time, Rimac will become a competitor to help the electric car market become more mainstream. EDIT: I kinda doubt it, though. With a price of $980,000 that's a long way to go.
Very cool indeed.

- lotsofmangos 13y agoElectric supercars do help in public acceptance though, if its good enough for a car that costs a million bucks...
- vanderZwan 13y agoAlso, a lot if not most of the technical innovations for cars start at the "supercar" end of the spectrum before becoming available to normal cars.
- broolstoryco 13y agoThis is a sports car, it is a different product and caters to a different demographic than the model s.
- basicallydan 13y agoYeah, I know. But it's possible they'll go a bit more mass market in the future. But, like I said, I doubt it will happen any time soon with such a big jump.

- TooSmugToFail 13y agoI think they're going for the supercar segment. We're talking selling a few units to rich collectors, etc. Greyp [1] is their mass market product. Saw one this afternoon in town, they've given a handful of Greyps to a few lucky bastards who are going to test them for a few months... [1] http://www.greyp-bikes.com/ http://www.greyp-bikes.com/
- basicallydan 13y agoGreyp! Hey not bad! Personally I'm not a huge fan of the aesthetic, it looks very much like a utility to me. But it's cool.
