C_Two Prototype Production Accelerates

Rimac Automobili has revealed the next stage in the development of the C_Two all-electric hypercar – a new production line.

Based at Rimac’s recently opened production facility in Veliko Trgovišće, Croatia, the line will accelerate the production of C_Two prototypes necessary for final validation and crash testing.

Assembling each C_Two will now take the team around five weeks, cutting the production time in half compared to the “nest production”, and allowing for the build of four final production vehicles a month at full capacity. While the prototype assembly process takes five weeks, the process starts much earlier at Rimac, as a large number of components and systems are produced in house and delivered to the final assembly line.

So far, Rimac has assembled four early prototype vehicles, but a further 13 are needed for the testing process, followed by another 10 pre-series cars – most of which will be produced this year. The fully-fledged homologation process, without any shortcuts, is a three to four-year process from the first concepts, to full prototypes, to cars on the road.

Rimac Automobili will start delivering customer cars in 2021, instead of 2020 as per the original, pre-COVID plan. The final car’s name and design will be revealed later this year.
