Rimac unveiled the the all new Concept Two earlier this week at the Geneva Motor Show.
The new all-electric hypercar has been revealed with specs to rival the new Tesla Roadster.
Since the Tesla Roadster was revealed at the Semi truck launch towards the end of 2017, a new benchmark was set for manufacturers.
It boasted an unbelievable top speed of over 250mph and a 0-60mph speed of 1.9 seconds - the first car ever to travel 0-60mph in sub-two seconds.
According to reports Rimac adjusted their targets, with the creation of the Concept Two, after hearing the specs for the Roadster.
The Concept Two was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show and it boasts an unbelievable set of specs.
Rimac claims that the car can travel form 0-60mph in just 1.85 seconds and has a top speed of 258mph - trumping the estimates from Tesla for the Roadster.
Whats more it can go from 0-100mph in 4.3 seconds and a quarter mile in just 9.1 seconds.
Powering the car is four electric motors producing 1,914 bhp and 2,300Nm of torque and are fed by the 120kWh of batteries split into two packs.
Rimac claims that the car will have 650km (403 miles) of range, however, claim that it will be affected when utilising the car’s full power.
Its battery pack is made up from a lithium-manganese-nickel combination and can be recharged up to 80 per cent in just 30 minutes if connected to a fast charger.
The C Two is also set up for Level 4 autonomy thanks to its eight cameras, lidar, six radars and twelve ultrasonic sensors.
It comes with a list of driver assistances systems including lane assist and auto braking.
The car is also pretty smart too and uses facial recognition to open its butterfly doors and starting the engine, negating the use of a key.
Rimac also claims the car can read your mood it will play soothing music and and soften the ride if it senses your stress or anger.
The car’s design is sleek, aggressive and sporty and doesn’t overtly scream that it is an EV, like some electric vehicles do, and has all the credentials of a petrol hypercar.
It is clearly inspired by the Concept One but comes with a new front fascia, bonnet, doors, panels, spoiler and rear diffuser.
Inside the car is equally as stunning.
It features a digital driver concept and large central touchscreen to control the infotainment.
Prices for the car have yet to be divulged but previously the manufacturer said it will cost more than the $1million Concept One.
It all but matches or exceeds the Tesla Roadster except for range and price, but unlike that car it is here now, three years earlier.
C Two is expensive it deserves to be.
Its pretty, eye-wateringly quick and has more range than its petrol counterparts, so it is less a Tesla killer and more like a petrol killer.
