Rimac has just opened a showroom in Shanghai, China prior to unveiling the production version of the C_Two all-electric hypercar later this year.
The Croatian automaker has partnered with Kingsway Group for its entry in the Chinese market. It already has a presence in the U.S., UK, Mexico, Germany, Spain, the UAE, Singapore, Japan, and Canada through various other partnerships.

“The C_Two is the next generation hypercar that unlocks the extreme performance of the electric drivetrain and will bring a new level of driving experience,” Rimac chief executive and founder Mate Rimac said in a statement. “It will be supported by a customer service experience to match – no matter where you are in the world. As such, we are very happy to welcome Kingsway Group into our family with their excellent reputation and access to the key markets for our customers in Hong Kong, Macau and China. This is another important step in the building of Rimac’s global network and brand.”
It has been three years since Rimac first unveiled the C_Two and, during that time, it has been refining the car and embarked on an exhaustive testing program to ensure it is perfect for when customer deliveries begin. In December 2020, the company started the preproduction phase, building six new preproduction examples.
When the C_Two launches, it should be the quickest accelerating production car on earth. Powering the hypercar are four electric motors that combine to deliver 1,888 hp and 1,696 lb-ft (2,300 Nm) of torque, enough to send it to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 1.85 seconds, 100 mph (160 km/h) in 4.3 seconds, and through to a 258 mph (412 km/h) top speed.
