In the latest video that is piling up for the eventual launch of the Rimac C_Two, we are shown the car going sideways, promising that it will be a very controllable car for those who enjoy drifting. The video shows the team behind the car talking about implementing torque vectoring, but they decide to show what the car can do without it, and the task falls on the shoulders of the company’s test pilot.
As the disclaimer shows at the bottom of the chart, the car shown in the video with the rear tires on and rippling smoke has no driver aids. This means that the production version will have electronic babysitters, but that you can disable them entirely and make crazy slides like the one in the video.
Unfortunately, most of the video is devoted to the Rimac people chat about torque vectoring and very little runtime is allocated to the actual drift part. But it does the job of generating a little more excitement for the next C_Two, a car whose combined output is 1,888 horsepower and 2,300 Nm (1,696 pound-feet), with a claim of no less than sixty times less 2 seconds and a top speed of 412 km / h (258 mph).
And it won’t be a short-range EV: With a planned 120 kWh battery, it’s expected to have a WLTP range of 550 km (342 miles). You should also be grippy and civil when you want it, thanks to a full suite of electronic aids and all-wheel drive.
