Rimac Concept car

At the last Frankfurt Motor Show, one of the futuristic concepts Cars that more attention was called Rimac Concept One, electric supercar capable of delivering a power equivalent to 1,088 horsepower.

At the heart of this Croatian car is a set of four motors, one for each wheel, which together allow it to reach 100 km / h (standing start) in just 2.8 seconds. The top speed is "only" 308 km / h for an autonomy for 600 kilometers.

At each wheel there is an autonomous system that incorporates an inverter and gearbox in order to control each wheel independently. Each of these engines is controlled by specific electronic units that make use of sensors placed around the car.
