Three supercars are currently vying for supremacy: the Ferrari, Porsche 918 Spyder, and McLaren P1. However, a worthy contender has emerged to challenge their dominance: the Croatian manufacturer Rimac, designed to leave its competitors in a cloud of smoke.

Founded in Sveta Nedelja in 2009, Rimac Automobili has grown significantly, producing its first vehicle with a workforce of over 100 employees.
The vehicle they manufactured accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds, achieving a top speed of 355 km/h, thanks to its impressive power output of 1,088 horsepower and 1,600 Nm of torque.

As Mate Rimac, the CEO of Rimac Automobili stated, "The first model accomplished something that was thought to be impossible even in the future, demonstrating that the world of automobiles is not just enjoyable but also better in every aspect."

The best way to describe this car is to call it a marvel of engineering. The first model utilizes the highest kinetic energy density system in the world, powering each wheel individually, with each motor paired with a dedicated gearbox – a Single-Speed gearbox at the front and a Two-Speed Dual-Clutch gearbox at the rear.
Additionally, the first model delivers 1 megawatt of power during acceleration and absorbs over 400 kW during braking.
Is there anything like this currently? I don't think so!
