Rimac: Final touches to the C-Two hypercar 🎥
TESTS IN THE WINDCANNEL For two years, sports car manufacturer Rimac has also been developing the new C-Two model in the wind tunnel at considerable expense and effort to optimize the aerodynamics and performance of the electric hypercar. In a sports car of the performance class of the Rimac C-Two, aerodynamics are of central importance.

In a sports car of the Rimac C-Two's performance class, aerodynamics are of central importance.
After thousands of design steps with computer simulations, the vehicle finally also has to go into the wind tunnel to confirm the calculated modifications.
The focus is on three important test elements: efficiency, cooling and variable aerodynamics - factors that are even more important in an electric car than in a conventionally powered vehicle.
For example, on a long-distance trip the cooling requirement is much lower than when the car is used on a race track. Battery performance is also required quite differently depending on the type of use.
Aerodynamics are of central importance
In a sports car of the C-Two's performance class (1400 kW, around 1900 hp), aerodynamics are of central importance. After all, the car should remain safely on the ground even at top speed (of a good 400 km/h). That's why the Rimac C-Two is equipped with special active aerodynamic systems: Front splitter, underbody air flaps and variable brake wings.
