Did a search for "Rimac" and didn't find anything, so I apologize if this is a repost.

• Tons of power and torque. With four motors that have 1600 Nm of torque (1180 lb-ft) at basically zero RPM and well over 1000 hp, the Concept_One has enough torque and power to keep its tires busy even at high speeds.
• Cooling. The Concept_One has seven independent cooling systems and several smaller sub-systems. We have worked really hard to maximize the performance for track use and not just for a couple of acceleration runs.
• Gearbox. Each of the four motors is connected to an independent gearbox. While the front motors have single-ratio reduction gearboxes, each rear motor has its own two-speed dual-carbon-clutch gearbox. This helps us to have great acceleration while also having a very high top speed. Most importantly, it allows the Concept_One to accelerate very quickly even at high speeds.'

I expected it to walk LF pretty hard out of the gate but I did not expect it to roll that hard.

LF is a 150 mph car.

They might be fast, but electric cars will always be unamerican to our historical car traditions.....

I can only imagine the sensation of going that fast in a silent car. There's the future!

Sounds like a boring future to me

That thing is crazy fast, it is weird to watch a car be soooooo fast but make literally no noise at all.

Having cars be faster than a LaFerrari definitely sounds like a boring future.

You want loud or you want fast? The sound of the exhaust is, in fact, wasted energy not making you go fast; it is, literally, horsepower being dumped out the exhaust pipe that never even had a chance to make you go any faster. I like the roar of the exhaust, too, but don't forget what it actually is.
