Rimac has launched a teaser video displaying all that’s going into the crash testing of the C_Two for international gross sales.

That’s a particularly constructive takeaway given the corporate’s historical past with crashes. Recall, an episide of “The Grand Tour” noticed Richard Hammond injured when the Rimac Concept_One, the C_Two’s predecessor, he was driving skidded off observe and caught hearth.

As soon as the C_Two clears its security testing, it’s scheduled to go on sale a while in 2020. As talked about, the C_Two will carry a base worth of $2 million, and the common purchaser has been including on $600,000 value of optionally available extras.
