Rimac C_Two Sells Out Before Its U.S Debut

• https://insideevs.com, ADRIAN PADEANU

Now, three weeks later, nearly all 150 cars planned for production have already been accounted for, despite the model's eye-watering starting price of about $2.1 million.

That's not all. Rimac's man in charge of sales, Kreso Coric, told Autocar this week at the New York Auto Show that on average, buyers have added about $615,300 worth of options on top of the car's already steep asking price. In other words, the average sticker of a C_Two stands at about $2.7M and those fortunate enough to have signed their names on the dotted line will have to patiently wait until 2020 to get their cars.

It's worth mentioning the two-seater fully electric hypercar is nowhere near as exclusive as its predecessor when it comes to the number of cars destined for production seeing as how the Concept_One was limited to just 8 units, plus 2 track-only Concept_S models.

The C_Two's technical specifications and performance numbers are just as impressive as its average selling price. It has 1,888 horsepower (1,408 kilowatts) and 1,696 pound-feet (2,300 Newton-meters) of torque, hits 60 mph (96 kph) from a standstill in 1.85 seconds, and maxes out at 256 mph (412 kph) – not too shabby for a car that weighs a hefty 1,950 kilograms (4,300 pounds).
